Description

A 2D array coords of size n x 2 gives coordinates of n points on a Cartesian plane.

Among all triangles whose three vertices come from coords and which have at least one side parallel to the x-axis or y-axis, find the one with maximum area A and return 2 * A.

Return -1 if no such non-degenerate triangle exists.
