Connect Cartesian Coordinates
You are given a two-dimensional list of integers points where each element contains [x, y] representing a cartesian coordinate. We can make an undirected edge between two points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1), which costs abs(x0 - x1) + abs(y0 - y1).
Given that we can connect any number of points, return the minimum cost necessary such that every point is connected by a path.

Input
- points =
[[ 0, 0],
[ 0, 1],
[ 0,-1],
[ 1, 0],
[-1, 0]]
Output
- answer =
4
Explanation
We can create an edge from (0, 0) to every other point.
