#447 Number of Boomerangs

APPROACH

You are given n points in the plane that are all distinct, where points[i] = [xi, yi]. A boomerang is a tuple of points (i, j, k) such that the distance between i and j equals the distance between i and k (the order of the tuple matters).

Return the number of boomerangs.

Example 1:

Input: points = [[0,0],[1,0],[2,0]]

Output: 2

Explanation: The two boomerangs are [[1,0],[0,0],[2,0]] and [[1,0],[2,0],[0,0]].

Example 2:

Input: points = [[1,1],[2,2],[3,3]]

Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: points = [[1,1]]

Output: 0
