#836 - Rectangle Overlap
Problem Description
An axis-aligned rectangle is represented as a list [x1, y1, x2, y2], where (x1, y1) is the coordinate of its bottom-left corner, and (x2, y2) is the coordinate of its top-right corner.
Its top and bottom edges are parallel to the X-axis, and its left and right edges are parallel to the Y-axis.
Two rectangles overlap if the area of their intersection is positive. To be clear, two rectangles that only touch at the corner or edges do not overlap.
Given two axis-aligned rectangles rec1 and rec2, return true if they overlap, otherwise return false.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} rec1
* @param {number[]} rec2
* @return {boolean}
*/
var isRectangleOverlap = function(rec1, rec2) {
const [x1, y1, x2, y2] = rec1;
const [a1, b1, a2, b2] = rec2;
return x1 < a2 && a1 < x2 && y1 < b2 && b1 < y2;
};
