Question

I don’t know how to complete this. I’m learning by myself and I found this exercise where you have a class for a rectangle like this:

public class Rectangulo {

private int x, y, width, heigth;

public Rectangulo(int x, int y, int width, int heigth){
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.width = width;
    this.heigth = heigth;
}

public boolean isOverlaping(Rectangulo r1, Rectangulo r2){

}

And I have to complete the method so it returns true if the 2 rectangles are overlapping / colliding or false if they aren’t. Can you give me any guide to help me think this problem, or tips?

I don’t have to use the intersects method.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you look at the method, you’re provided with two rectangle objects as arguments, r1 & r2. Each instance has its specific value for x,y, width and height. You can use these values to determine whether the two rectangles collide or overlap

For your specific doubt, you might want to read the javadoc for Rectangle.. This will help you understand how a rectangle is created in Java
