Problem statement

Write a program to accept a coordinate point in an XY coordinate system and determine in which quadrant the coordinate point lies.

"1st Quadrant": if  +x,+y
"2nd Quadrant": if -x,+y
"3rd Quadrant": if -x,-y
"4th Quadrant": if +x,-y
"x axis": if x,0
"y axis": if 0,y
"Origin": if 0,0

Detailed explanation ( Input/output format, Notes, Images )

Input format :

The only line of input contains two integers separated by a single space.

Output format :

The only line of the output prints the Position of the point in the coordinate system.

Sample Input 1 :

5 100

Sample Output 1 :

1st Quadrant

Explanation of Sample Input 1:

Both x and y are positive so the point lies in 1st Quadrant.

Sample Input 2 :

0 -80

Sample Output 2 :

y axis

Explanation of Sample Input 2:

 Since x is 0 the point lies in y-axis.

Sample Input 3 :

-2 40

Sample Output 3 :

2nd Quadrant

Explanation of Sample Input 3:

Since x is negative and y is positive the point lies in 2nd Quadrant.

Approach 1

Brute-force method

Take input of x and y coordinates in variable x and y respectively.

if ( x > 0 && y > 0) print 1st Quadrant

else if (x < 0 && y > 0) print 2nd quadrant

else if (x < 0 && y < 0) print 3rd quadrant

else if (x > 0 && y < 0) print 4th quadrant

else if (x == 0 && y == 0) print origin

else if ( x == 0 && y ≠ 0) print y-axis

else print x-axis.
