Problem Understanding

We are given two identical geometric objects on a grid, each object is a regular hexagon of side length 1. Each hexagon is placed in a fixed orientation: two of its edges are vertical, and its lowest vertex is anchored at an integer coordinate point. This completely determines the position of the hexagon in the plane.

The task is to compute the area of overlap between the two hexagons. Since the shapes are fixed and identical up to translation, the answer depends only on the relative offset between their bottom vertices. After computing the exact intersection area, we must output the result rounded to the nearest integer using standard half-up rules.

Although coordinates can be as large as 10^9, the geometry is small and local. Each hexagon has constant size, so the intersection is only influenced by the relative displacement of the two anchor points. This immediately rules out any approach that tries to discretize the plane or simulate geometry at a fine resolution over the coordinate range, because the absolute positions are irrelevant beyond their difference.

A naive pitfall is to assume that because coordinates are large, floating point geometry will be unstable or require careful scaling. In reality, all relevant geometry is bounded within a constant-size region around each hexagon.

A second subtle issue appears in rounding. The problem does not ask for truncation or floor, but a true rounding to nearest integer with .5 rounding up. Any solution that computes area approximately using floating point polygon intersection without care can fail near boundary cases where the overlap is close to 0.5 from an integer.

For example, if two hexagons barely overlap, the true intersection might be 0.4999999 or 0.5000001 depending on precision, and incorrect handling can flip the answer between 0 and 1.

Approaches

A brute force way to solve the problem is to explicitly construct both hexagons as polygons, compute their intersection polygon using a standard polygon clipping algorithm, and then compute the area of that polygon. Since each hexagon has only 6 vertices, the clipping step is constant time in theory, but still involves careful geometric handling of line intersections and floating point arithmetic.

This works because general polygon intersection is well understood, but it is overkill. The real observation is that both shapes are identical and only translated, so we do not need a full polygon clipping algorithm that handles arbitrary shapes. Instead, we can precompute the hexagon shape once and treat the problem as computing the overlap of two fixed convex polygons under translation.

The key simplification is that the hexagon is convex and small. For convex polygons, intersection area under translation depends only on relative displacement, and can be computed efficiently by either scanning overlap structure or directly using geometric decomposition. In this problem, since the shape is fixed and symmetric, we can reduce the computation to checking overlap of a constant number of edges and integrating over x-slices.

The most stable and standard solution is to compute the polygon intersection directly using a convex polygon intersection routine, which runs in constant time here because the number of vertices is fixed.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We exploit that the hexagon is fixed, so we explicitly construct its coordinates relative to its bottom vertex.

  1. Define the base hexagon shape in a local coordinate system where the bottom vertex is at (0, 0). From the geometry of a regular hexagon of side 1 with vertical sides, we can derive the six vertices in order. This shape is constant and can be hardcoded.
  2. Translate this template twice: once by (x1, y1) and once by (x2, y2). This produces two convex polygons in absolute coordinates. Translation preserves shape and area, so only relative shift matters.
  3. Compute the intersection polygon of these two convex polygons using a convex polygon clipping method such as Sutherland-Hodgman. Since each polygon has 6 vertices, every clipping step processes a constant number of edges, so the entire process is constant time.
  4. Once we have the intersection polygon, compute its area using the shoelace formula. The polygon will still have at most a constant number of vertices, so this step is stable and fast.
  5. Round the resulting area to the nearest integer using standard rules, ensuring that values like 1.5 round to 2 and 1.4999 round to 1.

The key implementation detail is that all computations should be done in floating point with sufficient precision, or preferably using exact arithmetic if desired, but given the constant size, double precision is sufficient if carefully implemented.

Why it works

The correctness comes from two facts. First, translation reduces the problem to a fixed convex polygon intersection under a displacement vector, and convex polygon intersection is fully determined by edge half-plane constraints. Second, the Sutherland-Hodgman clipping algorithm preserves exact intersection of convex polygons by iteratively intersecting half-spaces defined by polygon edges. Since both polygons are convex and fixed-size, the output polygon is exactly their geometric intersection, so the shoelace formula computes the correct area of the overlap region.

def polygon_area(poly):
    area = 0.0
    n = len(poly)
    for i in range(n):
        x1, y1 = poly[i]
        x2, y2 = poly[(i + 1) % n]
        area += x1 * y2 - x2 * y1

    return (b[0] - a[0]) * (p[1] - a[1]) - (b[1] - a[1]) * (p[0] - a[0]) >= 0

def intersect(a, b, p, q):

    x1, y1 = a

    return (x1 + t * (x2 - x1), y1 + t * (y2 - y1))

        prev = poly[i - 1]

        prev_in = inside(prev, a, b)

        if cur_in:

    return res

def build_hex(x, y):
    h = 3**0.5 / 2.0
    return [
        (x, y),
        (x + 1, y),
        (x + 1.5, y + h),
        (x + 1, y + 2*h),
        (x, y + 2*h),
        (x - 0.5, y + h),
    ]

The implementation begins by constructing the hexagon explicitly. The chosen coordinates correspond to a regular hexagon of side length 1 with flat vertical sides, derived from standard hexagon geometry where the vertical spacing between opposite edges is √3.

The clipping routine iteratively intersects a polygon with each edge half-plane of the second polygon. Each edge acts as a constraint, shrinking the candidate intersection polygon. The inside function enforces orientation consistency so that only the overlapping region remains.

Finally, the shoelace formula computes the exact area of the resulting convex polygon, and rounding is applied using integer conversion after adding 0.5.

The most delicate part is floating-point stability in intersection computation. Since all coordinates are derived from a fixed constant structure and only translated, numerical error remains controlled.

Worked Examples

Example 1

Input:

1 1
3 1

Here the hexagons are separated horizontally, so there is no overlap.

Step poly1 poly2 intersection area
Build hex at (1,1) hex at (3,1) - -
Clip full hex clipping starts empty 0

The second hexagon lies entirely outside the first, so after applying half-plane constraints, no region remains. The computed area is 0, and rounding preserves 0.

Example 2 (overlapping shift)

Input:

0 0
1 0

This places two hexagons with partial overlap.

Step poly1 poly2 intersection size area
Build base hex shifted hex - -
Clip edge 1 full constraint applied partial polygon >0
Clip edge 2 partial constraint applied smaller polygon stable

The overlap region is a lens-shaped convex polygon. The shoelace formula computes a positive area strictly less than full hexagon area, and rounding gives the nearest integer.

This example confirms that translation correctly induces partial overlap and clipping preserves convex structure.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time O(1) Each hexagon has 6 vertices, and convex clipping runs over a constant number of edges
Space O(1) Only a fixed number of points are stored for polygons

The solution easily fits within limits because all computations are constant-sized regardless of coordinate magnitude.

Edge Cases

When both hexagons share the same bottom vertex, every clipping step preserves the full polygon. The intersection routine never removes any region, so the output area equals the area of a single hexagon, which rounds to 6.

When the hexagons are far apart, each half-plane constraint eliminates the entire candidate region early. The clip function returns an empty list immediately, and the area is correctly treated as 0.

When the displacement is small, especially near symmetry lines, floating point precision becomes important. The clipping intersections are computed from nearly parallel edges, but since the polygon is constant-sized and well-conditioned, the accumulated error stays bounded, and rounding after computing the final area absorbs tiny numerical deviations.
