Minimum Time Visiting All Points in Python

On a plane, there are n points with integer coordinates points[i] = [xi, yi]. Your task is to find the minimum time in seconds to visit all points.

You can move according to the next rules:

• In one second always you can either move vertically, horizontally by one unit or diagonally (it means to move one unit vertically and one unit horizontally in one second).
• You have to visit the points in the same order as they appear in the array.

Example 1:

Input: points = [[1,1],[3,4],[-1,0]]

Output: 7

Explanation:
One optimal path is [1,1] -> [2,2] -> [3,3] -> [3,4] -> [2,3] -> [1,2] -> [0,1] -> [-1,0]
Time from [1,1] to [3,4] = 3 seconds
Time from [3,4] to [-1,0] = 4 seconds
Total time = 7 seconds

Example 2:

Input: points = [[3,2],[-2,2]]

Output: 5

Constraints:

points.length == n

1 <= n <= 100

points[i].length == 2

-1000 <= points[i][0], points[i][1] <= 1000

Solution:

class Solution:
    def minTimeToVisit(points):
        if not points:
            return 0
        result = 0
        for i in range(1, len(points)):
            result += max(abs(points[i][0] - points[i - 1][0]), abs(points[i][1] - points[i - 1][1]))
        return result


points = [[1,1],[3,4],[-1,0]]
print(Solution.minTimeToVisit(points)) # 7

points = [[3,2],[-2,2]]
print(Solution.minTimeToVisit(points)) # 5
