Number of triangles in a plane if no more than two points are collinear

Given n points in a plane and no more than two points are collinear, the task is to count the number of triangles in a given plane.

Examples: 

Input :  n = 3
Output : 1

Input :  n = 4
Output : 4

Number of Triangles

Let there are n points in a plane and no three or more points are collinear then number of triangles in the given plane is given by ^{n}\textrm{C}_{3} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{6}
 

C++




// C++ program to find the number of
// triangles in a plane if no more

// in a plane.
int countNumberOfTriangles(int n)
{
 
    // Formula to find number of triangles
    // nC3 = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) / 6
    return n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) / 6;
