0 5
YES
LIMITS
Constraints
Coordinate magnitudes are at most 10^9; interval endpoints are given in nondecreasing order.

Theory for this problem
+
Coordinate tasks often reduce to comparisons, absolute differences, `min`, and `max`.
Connection to “Point on Axis”: here, intermediate values are best kept in named variables so the formula stays readable and data types remain clear.

['Translate the geometry into inequalities before coding.', 'After solving “Point on Axis”, verify the algorithm on your own small example and on an allowed boundary case. Print only the required result with no extra text.']
ANSWER
Solution
+
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
long long x, y;
cin >> x >> y;
cout << ((x == 0 || y == 0) ? "YES" : "NO") << '\n';
return 0;
}
