Problem: Given integer coordinates of three vertices of a rectangle whose sides are parallel to coordinate axes, find the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the rectangle.
I have written the code to answer the problem as follows (but it's not correct):
coord_1_x = int(input())
coord_1_y = int(input())
coord_2_x = int(input())
coord_2_y = int(input())
coord_3_x = int(input())
coord_3_y = int(input())
coord_4_x = 0
coord_4_y = 0
if coord_1_x == coord_2_x:
coord_4_x = coord_3_x
if coord_2_y > coord_1_y:
coord_4_y = coord_2_y
else:
coord_4_y = coord_1_y
else:
if coord_3_x == coord_1_x:
coord_4_x = coord_2_x
coord_4_y = coord_3_y
print(coord_4_x)
print(coord_4_y)
Here's some example inputs/outputs that the code should display:
Example input #1 - Three vertices given are (1, 5), (7, 5), (1, 10)
1
5
7
5
1
10
Example output #1
7
10
Example input #2 - Three vertices given are (1, 5), (7, 10), (1, 10)
1
5
7
10
1
10
Example output #2
7
5
Please can someone help me determine the correct code to answer this problem? (I've tried Googling/ reading previous Stack posts but can't find an answer)
Note: The code should only use if/else statements, not arrays or loops.
if coord1_x == coord2_x or coord1_x==coord3_x:
if coord1_x == coord2_x:
coord4_x=coord3_x
else:
coord4_x=coord2_x
else:
coord4_x=coord1_x
if coord1_y == coord2_y or coord1_y==coord3_y:
if coord1_y == coord2_y:
coord4_y=coord3_y
else:
coord4_y=coord2_y
else:
coord4_y=coord1_y
