SECTION 3 WRITING
Re-Write: Q1
Instructions
The purpose of the re-write is to improve the base response as much as possible, so that it would be graded as a 5 using the writing rubrics. This includes, but is not limited to, fixing all spelling and grammar mistakes, fixing / improving / adding content and adding references.
Make sure your response includes reasoning and rationale for any edits made
Prompt
Consider an array of integer pairs, 'centers', representing the coordinates of people on a map at a specific moment. Each person is enclosed in a square box with sides of length 2. For two person to meet, it means their boxes share at least one common point. Write code in python to calculate the number of pairs of people that can meet.
To determine if two boxes intersect, you should check that the absolute differences between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the object centers do not exceed 2 in both dimensions. In other words, if x1, y1 are the coordinates of one person, and x2, y2 are the coordinates of the second person, the condition can be expressed as:
| x1 - x2 | <= 2
| y1 - y2 | <= 2
For example, if given the 'centers' array as input with coordinates [[1,1], [2,2], [0,4]], the output is 2. This means that there are two pairs of people who will meet.
Please improve the model's response by rewriting or editing it
Sure! Here's the function I wrote in python:
```python
def number_of_collisions(centers):
d = defaultdict(int)
ans = 0
for i in range(len(centers)):
for j in range(i + 1, len(centers)):
x1, y1 = centers[i]
x2, y2 = centers[j]

if abs(x1 - x2) <= 2 and abs(y1 - y2) <= 2:

ans += 1

ans = ans // 2

for k in d:
ans += d[k] * (d[k] - 1) // 2

return ans

```
