Comments on Longest parallel lines

Longest parallel lines

+5
−0

Note:

This challenge was underspecified and bad, and as such I would not encourage answering it in the future.

Challenge

You will be given a single 2D boolean array $M$. You may take its dimensions as a separate argument if needed.

Find the longest parallel lines in the matrix. Parallel lines can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, and there can't be a 1 anywhere between the two lines. (Imagine 0s are air, and the 1s are solid, the two lines have to be able to 'see' each other) For example, in the matrix

0 1 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 0 
0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0

the longest parallel line is length 3. If there are no parallel lines, output 0.

Test Cases

I:
0 0 0 1
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
O: 0
I:
0 0 1 0 1
0 1 0 1 0
1 0 1 0 0
O: 3
I:
0 0 1 0 1
0 0 1 0 1
0 0 1 1 1
0 0 1 0 1
0 0 1 0 1
O: 2
(The 1 in the middle is obstructing the line of sight)

Wow! Did not expect this one to be answered so quickly. Unfortunately it seems to fail for [[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]], two lines of length 1 that are parallel diagonally.

@rak1507 I updated the answer to cover the [[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]] case, but I think you need to provide a better definition of what you mean by "diagonal". From your examples I thought that that particular test case that you show should return 0 and not 1. You probably should provide more test cases and/or a reference implementation.

Yeah, my bad, I realise now it wasn't fully thought through.
