题目正文：
http://coursera.cs.princeton.edu/algs4/assignments/collinear.html
作业难点：
1、仔细思考会感觉有很多实现方法，但是如果没有适当使用排序，算法时间复杂度就会轻易超过要求。（包括暴力算法）
2、隐含需要实现自己的数据结构用来组织“线”的集合，当然也可以用Stack或者Queue或者LinkedList，但是我个人是自己实现的。
3、由于一条线段只能出现一次，所以有一个去重的问题。（最难）
作业技巧：
1、基本按照题目的先后顺序实现，结合视频学习中的一些知识点就可以把任务串起来，不会无从下手。
2、SlopTo的计算结果和点数组的排列顺序有关吗？A.SlopeTo(B)和B.SlopeTo(A)其实是一样的，合理利用cache防止多次计算。
3、在暴力方法中，引入排序可以解决去重问题。
4、如果去重是通过在结果集合中查找是否存在，就铁定会超过复杂度要求，所以必须在添加结果集之前就能判断。
这里就有一个重要推论：a-b-c-d线段，无论从a开始查找还是从b开始查找，线段最大和最小点都不变为a和d，所以我们只需要找到起始点为线段最小点的线段就可以了，其他线段均抛弃即可
