Tell me the rules:
①The most divided parts: Number of lines Number of internal intersection points 1
②The number of internal intersection points = the number of internal intersection points (number of lines-1), the newly added line may have intersections with other lines
③ Use recursion to find the number of internal intersection points, and then substitute it into ① to calculate
The above is normal mathematical thinking. Next, I will talk about the practical test knowledge I use, which is the stuff of my code
I have listed some available parameters for 1~5 straight lines:
Line numbers, internal intersection points, diplomatic points, partial numbers
1 0 2 2
2 1 4 4
3 3 6 7
4 6 8 11
5 10 10 16
I found that diplomatic points are meaningless, anyway they are twice the number of straight lines
And the number of parts = the number of straight lines and the number of internal intersection points 1
The number of intersection points within the number of adjacent straight lines forms an arithmetic sequence. The tolerance of this arithmetic sequence is 1, 1-0=1, 3-1=2, 6-3=3, 10-6=4, Looking horizontally, 1 0=1,2 1=3,3 3=6...But this still uses recursion to find the number of corresponding internal intersection points, so looking at the pattern vertically, 2*1=2 3*2= 6 4*3=12...exactly twice the number of internal intersection points
