Range Minimum/ Maximum Query

I have coord开发者_Go百科inate points (x,y) say I have 10 000 points . now when a new point is given as test query say (p,q). I have to check with every point in coordinate points.if x coordinate of text query that is P Y from online searches I came to know that Rmq- range min/max query datastructure can help me but I am not sure how to do it..can some one help me how may i do this ..any references or code help in c++ will be of great help .thank you

If your goal is to check whether the point exists in the data set, then there are a number of really useful data structures you could use to hold the data, each of which supports very efficient lookups.

For starters, if all you need to know is whether or not the point exists, you could always store all the points in a standard hash table or balanced binary search tree. This would offer O(1) or O(log n) lookup time, respectively. Plus these structures tend to be available in most programming languages.

If, on the other hand, you're planning on doing fancier operations on the data, such as searching for the k points in the data set nearest some test point, or trying to find all of the points in some bounding area, you might want to consider using a kd-tree or a quadtree. These variants on the standard binary search offer fast lookups (O(log n) time). The kd-tree also supports very fast k-nearest-neighbor searches and searches inside of bounding volumes. Moreover, the kd-tree is surprisingly easy to implement if you have any experience implementing a standard binary search tree.

Hope this helps!
