Solution: Rectangle Overlap

Explore a mathematical and geometric approach to check if two axis-aligned rectangles overlap. Learn how to reduce the problem to one-dimensional interval overlaps on the x and y axes, ensuring positive intersection area for overlap. This lesson helps you develop a clear and efficient method to solve rectangle overlap problems through simple boundary comparisons.

Statement

An axis-aligned rectangle is represented by a list [x1,y1,x2,y2][x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2], where:

  • (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) ...
