PROBLEM STATEMENT
A group of people stand before you arranged in rows and columns. Looking from above, they form an R by C rectangle of people. You will be given a vector <string> people containing the height of each person. Elements of people correspond to rows in the rectangle. Each element contains a space-delimited list of integers representing the heights of the people in that row. Your job is to return 2 specific heights in a vector <int>. The first is computed by finding the shortest person in each row, and then finding the tallest person among them (the "tallest-of-the-shortest"). The second is computed by finding the tallest person in each column, and then finding the shortest person among them (the "shortest-of-the-tallest").
DEFINITION
Class:TallPeople
Method:getPeople
Parameters:vector <string>
Returns:vector <int>
Method signature:vector <int> getPeople(vector <string> people)
CONSTRAINTS
-people will contain between 2 and 50 elements inclusive.
-Each element of people will contain between 3 and 50 characters inclusive.
-Each element of people will be a single space-delimited list of positive integers such that: 1) Each positive integer is between 1 and 1000 inclusive with no extra leading zeros.2) Each element contains the same number of integers.3) Each element contains at least 2 positive integers.4) Each element does not contain leading or trailing whitespace.
EXAMPLES
0)
{"9 2 3",
"4 8 7"}
Returns: { 4, 7 }
The heights 2 and 4 are the shortest from the rows, so 4 is the taller of the two. The heights 9, 8, and 7 are the tallest from the columns, so 7 is the shortest of the 3.
1)
{"1 2",
"4 5",
"3 6"}
Returns: { 4, 4 }
2)
{"1 1",
"1 1"}
Returns: { 1, 1 }
