I recently discussed an optimization that I worked on following Leland’s successful nerd snipe. That, however, was not the end of it. He also needed to test for intersecting/overlapping rectangles. The most obvious way to achieve this is pretty straightforward: 1// A rectangle is defined by its left (l), top (t), 2// right (r), and bottom (b) coordinates 3data class Rect(val l: Int, val t: Int, val r: Int, val b: Int) { 4 fun overlaps(other: Rect) = 5 l < other.
