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

Java code to figure out if Rectangles are contacting or overlapping each other

for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++ ) {
    for ( int j = 0; j < n; j++ ) {
        if ( i != j ) {
            Rectangle rectangle1 = rectangles.get(i);
            Rectangle rectangle2 = rectangles.get(j);

            int l1 = rectangle1.l; //left
            int r1 = rectangle1.r; //right
            int b1 = rectangle1.b; //bottom
            int t1 = rectangle1.t; //top

            int l2 = rectangle2.l;
            int r2 = rectangle2.r;
            int b2 = rectangle2.b;
            int t2 = rectangle2.t;

            boolean topOnBottom = t2 == b1;
            boolean bottomOnTop = b2 == t1;
            boolean topOrBottomContact = topOnBottom || bottomOnTop;

            boolean rightOnLeft = r2 == l1;
            boolean leftOnRight = l2 == r1;
            boolean rightOrLeftContact = leftOnRight || rightOnLeft;

            boolean leftPoll = l2 <= l1 && r2 >= l1;
            boolean rightPoll = l2 <= r1 && r2 >= r1;
            boolean leftRightInside = l2 >= l1 && r2 <= r1;
            boolean leftRightPossiblePlaces = leftPoll || rightPoll || leftRightInside;

            boolean bottomPoll = t2 >= b1 && b2 <= b1;
            boolean topPoll = b2 <= b1 && t2 >= b1;
            boolean topBottomInside = b2 >= b1 && t2 <= t1;
            boolean topBottomPossiblePlaces = bottomPoll || topPoll || topBottomInside;


            boolean topInBetween = t2 > b1 && t2 < t1;
            boolean bottomInBetween = b2 > b1 && b2 < t1;
            boolean topBottomInBetween = topInBetween || bottomInBetween;

            boolean leftInBetween = l2 > l1 && l2 < r1;
            boolean rightInBetween = r2 > l1 && r2 < r1;
            boolean leftRightInBetween = leftInBetween || rightInBetween;

            if ( (topOrBottomContact && leftRightPossiblePlaces) || (rightOrLeftContact && topBottomPossiblePlaces) ) {
                path[i][j] = true;
            }
        }
    }
