(Ruby) How do you check whether a range contains a subset of another range?

Question

If I have two ranges that overlap:

x = 1..10
y = 5..15

When I say:

puts x.include? y 

the output is:

Answer 1

You could also convert the ranges to sets, since you're basically doing set intersection here. Might be easier if you are dealing with more than two ranges.

x = (1..10).to_set
y = (5..15).to_set
!(x & y).empty? #returns true (true == overlap, false == no overlap)
