Description

Bessie, Farmer John's prize cow, has just won first place in a bovine beauty contest, earning the title 'Miss Cow World'. As a result, Bessie will make a tour of N (2 <= N <= 50,000) farms around the world in order to spread goodwill between farmers and their cows. For simplicity, the world will be represented as a two-dimensional plane, where each farm is located at a pair of integer coordinates (x,y), each having a value in the range -10,000 ... 10,000. No two farms share the same pair of coordinates.

Even though Bessie travels directly in a straight line between pairs of farms, the distance between some farms can be quite large, so she wants to bring a suitcase full of hay with her so she has enough food to eat on each leg of her journey. Since Bessie refills her suitcase at every farm she visits, she wants to determine the maximum possible distance she might need to travel so she knows the size of suitcase she must bring.Help Bessie by computing the maximum distance among all pairs of farms.

Input

* Line 1: A single integer, N

* Lines 2..N+1: Two space-separated integers x and y specifying coordinate of each farm

Output

* Line 1: A single integer that is the squared distance between the pair of farms that are farthest apart from each other.

Sample Input

Sample Output

Hint

Farm 1 (0, 0) and farm 3 (1, 1) have the longest distance (square root of 2)

题意：

给定 n 个点，求其中最远的两个点的距离的平方。

思路：

最远的两个点必定在凸包上，先求凸包，再用旋转卡壳求解。

总结：

旋转卡壳：现在凸包上找到一对点 Pi, Pj，Pj 是凸包上距 Pi 最远的点，则距离 Pi+1 （设Pi+1 在 Pi 的顺时针方向上的下一个点）最远的点必定在 Pj 的顺时针方向上（含 Pj）；

在判断是否是最远距离上，通过两个相邻的点设为( Pi, Pi+1 )，在凸包上按顺（逆）时针方向遍历，查找一个 Pj+1 的距离小于 Pj 的距离，则 Pj 就是 Pi 的最远点、 Pj+1 是 Pi+1 的最远点。距离通过向量的叉乘，即 Pi, Pi+1, Pj（Pj+1）所围成的三角形面积判断。三角形底边长不变，面积越大则高越长，即顶点距点边两端点距离越远。

又求凸包时已经将凸包上的点按顺（逆）时针排列，据此，可在 O(n) 的时间内计算出凸包上所有点及与其相距最远的点。
