Dangerous Bishops

The generalized square chessboard has been taken over by an army of bishops, each bishop represented as a two-tuple (row, col)
(0-base indexing) of the coordinates of the square that the bishop stands on. Given the board size n
and the list of bishops on that board, count the number of safe squares that are not covered by any bishop.
Let's look at the case 4, [(2, 3), (0, 1)]
, which is 11
.
Input: Two arguments. Integer (int) and list of tuples of two integers.
Output: Integer.
Examples:
assert safe_squares(10, []) == 100 assert safe_squares(4, [(2, 3), (0, 1)]) == 11 assert safe_squares(8, [(1, 1), (3, 5), (7, 0), (7, 6)]) == 29
