Solution: Rectangle Overlap

Explore the solution for checking if two axis-aligned rectangles overlap by applying math and geometry problem-solving techniques. Understand how to reduce the problem to one-dimensional interval overlaps along the x and y axes. This lesson helps you confidently determine positive area intersection, a crucial concept for coding interviews involving geometric challenges, while analyzing time and space complexity.

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) ...
