2543. Check if Point Is Reachable

Difficulty Topics

Description

There exists an infinitely large grid. You are currently at point (1, 1), and you need to reach the point (targetX, targetY) using a finite number of steps.

In one step, you can move from point (x, y) to any one of the following points:

  • (x, y - x)
  • (x - y, y)
  • (2 * x, y)
  • (x, 2 * y)

Given two integers targetX and targetY representing the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of your final position, return true if you can reach the point from (1, 1) using some number of steps, and false otherwise.

 

Example 1:

Input: targetX = 6, targetY = 9
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to reach (6,9) from (1,1) using any sequence of moves, so false is returned.

Example 2:

Input: targetX = 4, targetY = 7
Output: true
Explanation: You can follow the path (1,1) -> (1,2) -> (1,4) -> (1,8) -> (1,7) -> (2,7) -> (4,7).

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= targetX, targetY <= 109

Solution

check-if-point-is-reachable.py
class Solution:
    def isReachable(self, targetX: int, targetY: int) -> bool:
        g = gcd(targetX, targetY)

        return g.bit_count() == 1
