Environment: Python 3.8

Key technique: numpy, np, np.count_nonzero, np.amax

You are given an n x n grid where we place some 1 x 1 x 1 cubes that are axis-aligned with the x, y, and z axes.

Each value v = grid[i][j] represents a tower of v cubes placed on top of the cell (i, j).

We view the projection of these cubes onto the xy, yz, and zx planes.

A projection is like a shadow, that maps our 3-dimensional figure to a 2-dimensional plane. We are viewing the “shadow” when looking at the cubes from the top, the front, and the side.

Return the total area of all three projections.

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[1,2],[3,4]]
Output: 17
Explanation: Here are the three projections ("shadows") of the shape made with each axis-aligned plane.

Analysis:

  1. Calculate xy-plane.
  2. Calculate yz-plane.
  3. Calculate xz-plane.
  4. Retrun xy + yz +xz result.

Solution:

import numpy as np
class Solution(object):
def projectionArea(self, grid):
g_np = np.array(grid)
xy=np.count_nonzero(g_np)
xz=np.sum(np.amax(g_np, axis=0))
yz= np.sum(np.amax(g_np, axis=1))
return xy+yz+xz
