Rectangular Overlap - Amazon Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


You are given two lists of integers rect0 and rect1 representing coordinates (x0, y0, x1, y1) of two rectangles. (x0, y0) is the bottom left coordinate and (x1, y1) is the upper right coordinate.

Return whether the two rectangles overlap.

Note: if two rectangles touch only in their perimeters, they don't overlap.

Example 1

Input
rect0 = [0, 0, 10, 10]
rect1 = [10, 10, 30, 30]


Output
False



Example 2

Input
rect0 = [0, 0, 10, 10]
rect1 = [5, 5, 30, 30]


Output
True

                        Solution in C++ :

bool solve(vector<int>& rect0, vector<int>& rect1) {
    return !(rect0[3] <= rect1[1] || rect1[3] <= rect0[1] || rect0[2] <= rect1[0] ||
             rect1[2] <= rect0[0]);
}
                    


                        Solution in Java :

import java.util.*;

class Solution {
    public boolean solve(int[] rect0, int[] rect1) {
        int x1 = Math.max(rect0[0], rect1[0]);
        int y1 = Math.max(rect0[1], rect1[1]);
        int x2 = Math.min(rect0[2], rect1[2]);
        int y2 = Math.min(rect0[3], rect1[3]);
        if (x1 >= x2 || y1 >= y2)
            return false;
        return true;
    }
}
                    


                        Solution in Python : 
                            
class Solution:
    def solve(self, rect0, rect1):
        return not (
            rect1[0] >= rect0[2]
            or rect0[0] >= rect1[2]
            or rect1[1] >= rect0[3]
            or rect0[1] >= rect1[3]
        )

Self-Driving Bus

Treeland is a country with n cities and n - 1 roads. There is exactly one path between any two cities. The ruler of Treeland wants to implement a self-driving bus system and asks tree-loving Alex to plan the bus routes. Alex decides that each route must contain a subset of connected cities; a subset of cities is connected if the following two conditions are true: There is a path between ever
