Determine if two rectangles overlap each other?

Question

I am trying to write a C++ program that takes the following inputs from the user to construct rectangles (between 2 and 5): height, width, x-pos, y-pos. All of these rectang

Answer 1

struct Rect
{
    Rect(int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2)
    : x1(x1), x2(x2), y1(y1), y2(y2)
    {
        assert(x1 < x2);
        assert(y1 < y2);
    }

    int x1, x2, y1, y2;
};

bool
overlap(const Rect &r1, const Rect &r2)
{
    // The rectangles don't overlap if
    // one rectangle's minimum in some dimension 
    // is greater than the other's maximum in
    // that dimension.

    bool noOverlap = r1.x1 > r2.x2 ||
                     r2.x1 > r1.x2 ||
                     r1.y1 > r2.y2 ||
                     r2.y1 > r1.y2;

    return !noOverlap;
}
