Closest Pair of Points

p
"""
The algorithm finds distance between closest pair of points
in the given n points.
Approach used -> Divide and conquer
The points are sorted based on Xco-ords and
then based on Yco-ords separately.
And by applying divide and conquer approach,
minimum distance is obtained recursively.

>> Closest points can lie on different sides of partition.
This case handled by forming a strip of points
whose Xco-ords distance is less than closest_pair_dis
from mid-point's Xco-ords. Points sorted based on Yco-ords
are used in this step to reduce sorting time.
Closest pair distance is found in the strip of points. (closest_in_strip)

min(closest_pair_dis, closest_in_strip) would be the final answer.

Time complexity: O(n * log n)
