1637. Widest Vertical Area Between Two Points Containing No Points

![https://leetcode.com/problems/widest-vertical-area-between-two-points-containing-no-points/] Given n points on a 2D plane where points[i] = [xi, yi], Return the widest vertical area between two points such that no points are inside the area. A vertical area is an area of fixed-width extending infinitely along the y-axis (i.e., infinite height). The widest vertical area is the one with the maximum width. Note that points on the edge of a vertical area are not considered included in the area. ...

973. K Closest Points to Origin

![https://leetcode.com/problems/k-closest-points-to-origin/] We have a list of points on the plane. Find the K closest points to the origin (0, 0). (Here, the distance between two points on a plane is the Euclidean distance.) You may return the answer in any order. The answer is guaranteed to be unique (except for the order that it is in.) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Example 1: Input: points = [[1,3],[-2,2]], K = 1 Output: [[-2,2]] Explanation: The distance between (1, 3) and the origin is sqrt(10). The distance between (-2, 2) and the origin is sqrt(8). Since sqrt(8) < sqrt(10), (-2, 2) is closer to the origin. We only want the closest K = 1 points from the origin, so the answer is just [[-2,2]]. Example 2: Input: points = [[3,3],[5,-1],[-2,4]], K = 2 Output: [[3,3],[-2,4]] (The answer [[-2,4],[3,3]] would also be accepted.) Note: ...
