Problem Understanding
We are asked to find all lattice points in the first quadrant whose distance to the origin is exactly $D\sqrt{2}$. Squaring the distance removes the square root, so we are really searching for all non-negative integer pairs $(x, y)$ such that
$$x^2 + y^2 = 2D^2.$$
Among all such points, we only output those with $x \le y$, and the final list must be sorted by increasing $x$.
The constraint $D \le 10^6$ implies that the constant on the right-hand side can be as large as $2 \cdot 10^{12}$. A naive approach that tries every pair $(x, y)$ up to $2D$ would require about $4 \cdot 10^{12}$ checks, which is completely infeasible. Even checking all $x$ values alone gives about $2 \cdot 10^6$ iterations, which is borderline but still manageable in Python if each iteration is constant time.
A more important subtlety is that valid solutions are very sparse. For a fixed $D$, the equation describes lattice points on a circle of radius $\sqrt{2}D$, and such circles typically have very few integer points. This sparsity is what makes an $O(D)$ or slightly better enumeration acceptable.
A naive implementation that loops over all $x$, computes $y^2 = 2D^2 - x^2$, and checks whether it is a perfect square already gets close to the intended solution, but it risks performance issues if implemented with heavy overhead or repeated floating-point square roots without care.
Approaches
A direct way to attack the problem is to fix one coordinate, say $x$, and compute the corresponding $y$ from the equation $y^2 = 2D^2 - x^2$. If the result is a perfect square, we accept the pair.
This works because every valid solution must satisfy the equation exactly, so scanning all possible $x$ guarantees that no solution is missed. However, this brute-force scan performs up to $2D$ iterations, and in each iteration we do a square root and verification. With $D = 10^6$, this is about two million iterations, which is just on the edge of acceptable but still potentially slow in Python if not carefully implemented.
A more structural observation comes from rewriting the equation using Gaussian integers. The identity
$$x^2 + y^2 = 2D^2$$
can be factored as
$$(x + iy)(x - iy) = 2D^2.$$
Since $2 = (1+i)(1-i)$, we can rewrite solutions in the form
$$x + iy = (1+i)(u + iv),$$
which expands to
$$x = u - v,\quad y = u + v.$$
Substituting back gives
$$x^2 + y^2 = 2(u^2 + v^2),$$
so we reduce the problem to finding integer pairs $(u, v)$ such that
$$u^2 + v^2 = D^2.$$
This transformation is useful because it turns the original constraint into a standard problem: finding lattice points on a circle of radius $D$. Each such pair $(u, v)$ directly generates a solution $(x, y)$, and no further filtering is required beyond enforcing non-negativity.
We now only need to enumerate solutions to $u^2 + v^2 = D^2$, which is significantly sparser than scanning all $(x, y)$ pairs.
| Approach | Time Complexity | Space Complexity | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brute force over (x, y) | $O(D^2)$ | $O(1)$ | Too slow |
| Scan x and check square | $O(D)$ | $O(1)$ | Acceptable but borderline |
| Gaussian reduction to (u, v) | $O(D)$ worst-case, typically much less | $O(1)$ | Accepted |
Algorithm Walkthrough
- Fix the equation $u^2 + v^2 = D^2$, which represents all lattice points on a circle of radius $D$. We will enumerate all valid integer pairs $(u, v)$ with $u, v \ge 0$.
- Iterate $u$ from $0$ to $D$. For each value, compute $v^2 = D^2 - u^2$. This ensures we only consider candidates consistent with the equation.
- Check whether $v^2$ is a perfect square. If it is not, discard this $u$. If it is, compute $v = \sqrt{v^2}$ and verify it is an integer.
- For each valid pair $(u, v)$, construct a solution to the original problem using the transformation
$$x = u - v,\quad y = u + v.$$
This guarantees $x^2 + y^2 = 2D^2$. 5. Keep only solutions where $x \ge 0$. This condition is equivalent to $u \ge v$, so we implicitly filter invalid cases. 6. Store each valid $(x, y)$ pair and sort the result by $x$ before output, since enumeration order in $u$ does not strictly guarantee sorted $x$.
Why it works
The key invariant is that every representation $u^2 + v^2 = D^2$ corresponds to exactly one valid construction $x = u - v, y = u + v$ satisfying $x^2 + y^2 = 2D^2$. The transformation is reversible: any solution $(x, y)$ can be mapped back to $(u, v)$ via $u = (x + y)/2$, $v = (y - x)/2$, which must be integers because $x + y$ and $y - x$ share parity. This bijection ensures no solutions are missed and no invalid solutions are introduced.
Python Solution
import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline
import math
def solve():
D = int(input())
D2 = D * D
res = []
for u in range(D + 1):
v2 = D2 - u * u
if v2 < 0:
continue
v = int(math.isqrt(v2))
if v * v != v2:
continue
x = u - v
y = u + v
if x < 0:
continue
res.append((x, y))
res.sort()
print(len(res))
for x, y in res:
print(x, y)
if __name__ == "__main__":
solve()
The code directly implements the reduction to the $(u, v)$ representation. The use of isqrt avoids floating-point inaccuracies when checking perfect squares. Sorting is required because different $(u, v)$ pairs can produce solutions with the same or unordered $x$ values.
The condition x < 0 enforces the required quadrant restriction after transformation, and also implicitly ensures we keep only the canonical half of symmetric solutions.
Worked Examples
Example 1: $D = 5$
We compute $D^2 = 25$. We iterate over $u$ and check when $25 - u^2$ is a square.
| u | v² = 25 - u² | v | valid | x = u - v | y = u + v |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 25 | 5 | yes | -5 | 5 |
| 3 | 16 | 4 | yes | -1 | 7 |
| 4 | 9 | 3 | yes | 1 | 7 |
| 5 | 0 | 0 | yes | 5 | 5 |
Filtering negative $x$, we keep $(1, 7)$ and $(5, 5)$.
This shows how multiple $(u, v)$ pairs can generate the same geometric structure but only valid transformations remain in the first quadrant.
Example 2: $D = 9$
We compute $D^2 = 81$. The only square decomposition is $9^2 + 0^2$ (and symmetric variants).
| u | v² = 81 - u² | v | valid | x | y |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 0 | 0 | yes | 9 | 9 |
All other $u$ values produce non-squares, so only one point exists.
This demonstrates the sparsity of solutions even for larger $D$.
Complexity Analysis
| Measure | Complexity | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Time | $O(D)$ | We scan all values of $u$ from $0$ to $D$, each with constant-time square check |
| Space | $O(K)$ | We store all valid solutions, where $K$ is the number of lattice points |
The bound $D \le 10^6$ makes a linear scan feasible, and the number of valid outputs is small enough that both computation and printing remain efficient.

Edge Cases
A key edge case is when $u < v$, which produces negative $x = u - v$. For example, with $u = 0, v = D$, we get $x = -D$, which lies outside the allowed region. The algorithm explicitly filters these cases, and this ensures we only keep points in the first quadrant after transformation.
Another edge case is when $v = 0$, which corresponds to $u = D$. This produces the point $(x, y) = (D, D)$, which is always valid and forms the minimal guaranteed solution.
