Problem

You are given an array of integers distance. You start at the point (0, 0) on an X-Y plane, and you move distance[0] meters to the north, then distance[1] meters to the west, distance[2] meters to the south, distance[3] meters to the east, and so on. In other words, after each move, your direction changes counter-clockwise. Return true if your path crosses itself or false if it does not.

Examples

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

Constraints

  • 1 <= distance.length <= 10^5
  • 1 <= distance[i] <= 10^5

Solution
