Problem Understanding

We are given a sequence of numbers, but instead of treating them as individual values, we should think of them as a multiset where we are allowed to repeatedly perform a very specific transformation. The task is to determine whether it is possible to transform one given number into another using only these transformations.

The operations are simple: we can add a fixed vector C any number of times, and we can also rotate the current vector by 90 degrees clockwise any number of times. Starting from vector A, we want to know if we can reach vector B.

Geometrically, this means we are walking in the plane starting from A. At each step, we either shift by C or by a rotated version of C, and we can keep rotating C before adding it. The question is whether B lies in the set of all points reachable by any sequence of these moves.

The input consists of three 2D vectors A, B, and C. The output is a single decision: whether B can be expressed as A plus some finite sequence of operations generated by rotating and adding C.

The constraints allow coordinates up to 10^8 in absolute value, which immediately suggests we must avoid any brute force simulation of the sequence of operations. Any method that enumerates sequences or explores states step by step would explode exponentially, since each step branches into multiple possibilities (rotate or not, add or not). We need an O(1) or at most O(log value) algebraic characterization.

A subtle edge case appears when C is the zero vector. In that case, rotations do nothing and every operation is identical, so the only reachable point is A itself. For example, if A = (1, 2), B = (1, 2), C = (0, 0), the answer is YES, but if B differs, it is NO. Any algebraic approach must explicitly handle this degeneracy or it risks dividing by zero or assuming invertibility.

Another corner case arises when C lies on an axis or has collinear rotations. For instance, if C = (1, 0), its rotations produce (0, 1), (-1, 0), (0, -1), which spans the full integer grid. In contrast, if C = (0, 0), rotations collapse completely. These two extremes behave fundamentally differently, so the solution must classify C before reasoning about reachability.

Approaches

The naive idea is to simulate all possible sequences of operations starting from A. Each step allows either adding C or adding one of its rotated versions. After k steps, we would have explored roughly 4^k possibilities because rotation and addition choices compound. Even if we prune repeated states, the reachable set grows without structure. The worst case reaches all integer lattice points in a growing radius, making this approach infeasible long before k reaches even 50.

The key observation is that order does not matter. Every operation is just adding a vector that is one of the four rotations of C. So the entire process reduces to constructing integer linear combinations of a finite set of vectors: C, R(C), R²(C), and R³(C), where R is a 90-degree rotation.

This transforms the problem into checking whether the vector B − A lies in the integer span of these four vectors. But these vectors are not independent. In fact, in 2D, the four rotated versions of a vector generate at most a 2D lattice, and their span collapses into a structure that can be described with two basis vectors.

A cleaner way to see it is to treat C = (x, y). Then its rotations are (x, y), (−y, x), (−x, −y), and (y, −x). Any reachable vector is a sum of these with non-negative coefficients, but since we can apply operations in any order, we can rearrange them arbitrarily. This turns the problem into checking whether a linear system in integers has a solution.

The crucial simplification is that the reachable set forms a grid generated by two vectors: (x, y) and (−y, x). If we can express B − A as a linear combination of these two, then the answer is YES.

This reduces the problem to solving a 2×2 integer system, which can be done by checking determinant consistency and ensuring integer solutions exist.

Algorithm Walkthrough

  1. Compute the displacement vector D = B − A. We only care about relative movement, since all operations act on A by translation.
  2. Handle the special case where C = (0, 0). In this case no movement is possible at all, so the answer is YES only if D = (0, 0), otherwise NO.
  3. Let C = (x, y). Construct two basis vectors v1 = (x, y) and v2 = (−y, x). These correspond to two independent rotation directions in the plane.
  4. Check whether there exist integers a and b such that:

D = a * v1 + b * v2.

Expanding coordinates gives the system:

Dx = a x − b y

Dy = a y + b x 5. Solve this system using determinant reasoning. Compute det = x² + y². If det is zero, it means C is zero and was already handled. Otherwise, compute:

a = (Dx x + Dy y) / det

b = (Dy x − Dx y) / det 6. Verify that both a and b are integers. If either is not an integer, the transformation is impossible. If both are integers, the answer is YES.

Why it works: every allowed operation is equivalent to adding one of the four rotated copies of C, and those four vectors generate a lattice whose basis can be taken as C and its 90-degree rotation. Any sequence of operations collapses into an integer combination of these basis vectors, so reachability is exactly membership in that lattice.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

def solve():
    ax, ay = map(int, input().split())
    bx, by = map(int, input().split())
    cx, cy = map(int, input().split())

    dx = bx - ax
    dy = by - ay

    if cx == 0 and cy == 0:
        print("YES" if dx == 0 and dy == 0 else "NO")
        return

    det = cx * cx + cy * cy

    a_num = dx * cx + dy * cy
    b_num = dy * cx - dx * cy

    if a_num % det != 0 or b_num % det != 0:
        print("NO")
        return

    print("YES")

solve()

The code first reduces the problem to a pure displacement check, removing dependence on the starting point. The degenerate zero-vector case is handled immediately to avoid invalid division.

The determinant cx*cx + cy*cy appears because it is the squared length of the vector C and serves as the normalization factor when projecting onto the rotated basis. The expressions for a_num and b_num come from solving the 2×2 linear system using the inverse of the rotation matrix formed by C and its perpendicular vector.

A common implementation pitfall is forgetting that we never actually need to compute floating-point values. Everything must remain in integers, and divisibility checks are the only reliable way to verify feasibility.

Worked Examples

Example 1

Input:

A = (0, 0), B = (1, 1), C = (0, 1)

We compute D = (1, 1). Since C is not zero, det = 1.

Now:

a_num = 1·0 + 1·1 = 1

b_num = 1·0 − 1·1 = −1

Both divide evenly by det = 1, giving a = 1, b = −1, so the answer is YES.

This confirms that even when coefficients are negative in interpretation, the system allows cancellation through different sequences of operations.

Example 2

Input:

A = (0, 0), B = (2, 2), C = (1, 1)

We compute D = (2, 2), det = 2.

a_num = 2·1 + 2·1 = 4

b_num = 2·1 − 2·1 = 0

We get a = 2, b = 0, so YES.

This demonstrates the case where only one direction is needed; repeated additions of C alone suffice.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time O(1) Only a constant number of arithmetic operations per test
Space O(1) No auxiliary structures beyond variables

The solution fits easily within constraints since all operations are constant time integer arithmetic even for large coordinate ranges up to 10^8.

Edge Cases

When C is (0, 0), every rotation collapses to the same point, so the reachable set contains only A. The algorithm explicitly checks this before any algebra, ensuring no invalid division occurs and guaranteeing correctness for all zero-movement scenarios.

When C is very large or has large coordinates, intermediate products like cx * cx or dx * cx can exceed 32-bit limits. Using Python avoids overflow entirely, but in C++ this requires 64-bit integers. The formulation using determinant-based divisibility remains valid regardless of magnitude, since it depends only on exact arithmetic.
