Python, with imports of any library. Part 1, inefficient and slow. Part 2 using try/except statements and pair counting, quite fast I find it.

Shortest readable Python (no external libraries) and C++

Python no external libraries.

Python with no external libraries and C++ Python C++

Here's the relevant extract from my (recursive) solution. Full code on GitHub.

Like others, I used lcm. Here's an extract of the solution, omitting parsing and main(). Full solution on GitHub.

Solutions to parts 1 and 2 nearly identical and pretty much worked first time. Nothing clever here. This was far simpler than I thought it would be. I probably spent most time trying to think of a mathematical way of getting all points between p1 and p2. In the end, I just constructed two ranges. Full code here.

The core of my solution below using numpy (because I'm learning it!). See github for full code.

Python 3 solution using numpy. I got held up because I assume (but know better) that numpy arrays are [x,y] instead of [row, col], which is [y,x].

Below is the new solution, which works for part 1 and 2. The full code is on GitHub.

These are the key functions. The whole code is on GitHub

Part 2 (extract shown below) was a matter of starting with the low points found in part 1 then recursively looking around for relevant points. Full code on GitHub
