The problem

There is a 2D grid of size n x n where each cell of this grid has a lamp that is initially turned off. You are given a 2D array of lamp positions lamps, where lamps[i] = [rowi, coli] indicates that the lamp at grid[rowi][coli] is turned on.

Example

Input
n = 5, lamps = [[0,0],[4,4]], queries = [[1,1],[1,0]]
Output
[1,0]
Explanation
We have the initial grid with all lamps turned off. In the above picture we see the grid after turning on the lamp at grid[0][0] then turning on the lamp at grid[4][4].

    def gridIllumination(
        self, n: int, lamps: List[List[int]], queries: List[List[int]]
    ) -> List[int]:
        s = {(i, j) for i, j in lamps}
        row, col, diag1, diag2 = Counter(), Counter(), Counter(), Counter()
        for i, j in s:
            row[i] += 1
            col[j] += 1
            diag1[i - j] += 1
            diag2[i + j] += 1
        ans = [0] * len(queries)
        for k, (i, j) in enumerate(queries):
            if row[i] or col[j] or diag1[i - j] or diag2[i + j]:
                ans[k] = 1
            for x in range(i - 1, i + 2):
                for y in range(j - 1, j + 2):
                    if (x, y) in s:
                        s.remove((x, y))
                        row[x] -= 1
                        col[y] -= 1
                        diag1[x - y] -= 1
                        diag2[x + y] -= 1
        return ans
