Problem: There are N points in a two-dimensional plane. The initial coordinates of the i-th point are (x_i, y_i). Now, each point starts moving at a speed of 1 per second, in a direction parallel to the x\- or y\- axis. You are given a character d_i that represents the specific direction in which the i-th point moves, as follows:    * If d_i = `R`, the i-th point moves in the positive x direction;   * If d_i = `L`, the i-th point moves in the negative x direction;   * If d_i = `U`, the i-th point moves in the positive y direction;   * If d_i = `D`, the i-th point moves in the negative y direction.  You can stop all the points at some moment of your choice after they start moving (including the moment they start moving). Then, let x_{max} and x_{min} be the maximum and minimum among the x-coordinates of the N points, respectively. Similarly, let y_{max} and y_{min} be the maximum and minimum among the y-coordinates of the N points, respectively.  Find the minimum possible value of (x_{max} - x_{min}) \times (y_{max} - y_{min}) and print it.
