Amazon Coding Interview - Overlapping Rectangles - Whiteboard Wednesday

[@F1mus]

It would make much more sense not to return False if they don't overlap, but to return a 0 area. Not only does this make it a consistent interface (always return a number, as opposed to a number or a boolean), but it simplifies a lot of your code.

[@mikiii880]

-1 -> no overlap. 0+ -> actual area

[@qutuz9495]

@@mikiii880 If the area is 0 then they don't overlap. Sides touching means the actual rectangles don't overlap. No need to have a special case to check if they overlap in that case.

Mixed returns are crap

[@sonulohani]

Return value should be if not overlapped return zero otherwise non-zero.

[@legrab42]

it is easy to throw an exception and you need a little math skill to translate a 0 answer to "not overlap", however, everyone would understand that False means its not happening.

You guys all miss the point of this video. Obviously, the solution is easy and could be written in 2 mins, but THIS IS AN INTERVIEW. You need to show your ability to think about the problem, to write understandable code, to consider possible scenarios and most importantly to clearly express your thought process. You can't just sit down and spit out the solution without saying a word. The point of this video is not the overlapping rectangles problem but Irfan's communication with the interviewing person.

The sides are parallel to the axes really make the question a lot easier. Otherwise you will have to draw circles with the end points of each rectangle as diameter. If sides are parallel to each other you are left with only a single possibility for other vertices.

[@FranticRock]

This works if Rect1 and Rect2 are neatly isolated to any one coordinate fragment. But it falls apart if they are over top of the Origin (0,0). You need to adjust the logic in distance() to account for that. Can't just use min(R1txy, R2txy) - max(R1bxy, R2bxy).

[@stfuna4b]

I solved it by sorting the 4 x coordinates and the 4 y coordinates, the overlapping area is the product of the difference between the 2 middle xs and the 2 middle ys, and it's invariant to permuting the two rectangles.

[@grinflur]

unless rectangles dont overlap)

[@EmanueleDiSaverio]

How about rectangles are rotated ? :D

[@tejas94]

@grinflur you can check that, by seeing if the first two x coordinates are from different rectangles. If they are from the same, you can return by saying that they don't overlap

[@ItsAllEnzynes]

The rectangles used in this problem are formed by 2 points, to represent a specific rotated rectangle you'd need at least coordinate 3 points, so I think it's safe to assume that this problem doesn't encompass that :) EDIT: also listen at like 3:45, no rotated rectangles

[@daaara]

It's actually O(1), since the number of coords being sorted is constant. That said, you've got to check if there's no overlap before using this method.

[@mabney11]

my approach would be to use sets. Set for all x cords in r1. Set for all x cords in r2. set of all y cords in r1. Set for all x cords in r2. If the intersect for x r1/r2 doesnt yield values or intersect of y r1/r2 doesnt yield values or its one item, the rectangles dont overlap. if intersect of x and y are 2 or more each, we take the (max - min) for x subset * (max - min) for y subset for the area overlap. note that both of the intersects must yield 2 or more values in order for it to be considered overlap. If intersect yields 1 value, they are perpendicular. If the intersect is empty for either they are not touching at all

[@vahiagyat]

Maybe I missed it but isn't it a big assumption to consider rectangles edges will be parallel to the x, y-axis? or rather two rectangles will be parallel.

[@likwidmocean]

It's addressed early in the video that the rectangles will be composed of lines oriented parallel to the xy axis. You're right in that it is a big assumption, but if you think about it, it's implicit in the input format. "Sloped rectangles" embedded in a plane need to describe at least 3 vertices, so the two edges required to form a 90° corner (a vertex) are represented. The corner becomes the local origin, use pythagoras to get the edge lengths, multiply for area. For "non-sloped rectangles" you just need 2 opposing vertices to find the edges required to calculate area. This is because rectangles by definition are composed of 4 congruent interior angles of 90°, and 2 sets of 2 congruent edges. It'd occasionally useful to consider a square as a special case rectangle. If it were a rhombus, all 4 vertices are required to find area. So the question in my opinion to ask is not, "are there sloped rectangles?" but rather "is the input format stable or variable? Will all rectangles be described with two vertices?". From that you should be able to describe the system's capacity for rectangles to the interviewer, demonstrating an awareness of how a rule, in this case the geometric identity of a rectangle, is used to omit unnecessary data from a model without losing any information about the object the model describes.

[@69chase666]

mann its incredible how you boil down the problem to something so elementary

[@jamesnewman6437]

Just would like to point out that the edges of a rectangle don't have to be parallel to the axises. That seems like a much harder problem.

How bout we sort the x and y indexes accordingly (since there are only 4 points it wouldnt take much time), then if the first 2 indexes belong to the same rectangle they dont overlap, and if they dont, just subtract 2nd index from 3rd index and multiply the distances you have found for the x and y sorted arrays.

Of course, cleaning off the edge cases such as one containing another, and considering they might be swapped, and, first of all, normalizing the coordinates to cover negative coordinate cases.

the best thing you can do in interviews is to walk through your reasoning and not just give the answer as someone who just memorized the solution from a cookbook. They want people that can use math and logic to solve problems that may come up, you won't be able to do so if you just repeating something you memorized because real world problems are much more complex.

[@123321nba]

What if they overlap at corners (diagonally)? you find the intersection points by equalizing linear functions of each side of each rectangles. If you have a solution, then you have an intersection. Knowing 2-rectangular intersection points, and the points for rectangle angles, it is easy to get the area. And it works in any situation.

[@slowsnow8]

Thank you for the video, it's really helpful for people who want prepare a bit. Just i hope you will nor mind some constructive critics: 1. The requirement to return "false" if they do not overlap IMHO does not apply for cases where they overlap on border. If rectangles share at least one point technically they do overlap, just overlapping area is 0. 2. About naming: width and length are ok. "Bottom" and "top" not precise - i would recommend to be more precise naming and use "bl", "tr" and earlier start use x and y. 3. Naming of function is not optimal: from function with name "overlaps" i expect boolean value, not an area. You should be more precise and name it "overlapingArea" or similar. Technically you solved problem, and solution is ok, but if you passed interview for me it would depend which level position you are seeking - for junior it would be ok, for mid maybe ok, for senior i would have my doubts if to hire candidate with such solution.

This is a 2-minute solution. All you need are the vertices of the intersecting rectangle. Both the vertices are already known (3,2) and (5,5). So the area is given by: 1/2*(3-5)*(2-5) = 3. Now in order to generalize the area of the intersecting rectangle: A = 1/2*(x2-x1')*(y2-y1') where vertices are labeled R1: ((x1,y1), (x1',y1')) and R2: ((x2,y2), (x2',y2'))

[@svilenpavlov7255]

@@chaigtin259 My thoughts, exactly. When she said they can be rotated. Given the input, that's impossible for a couple of reasons: 1) Two points create a line - a the diagonal of a rectangle in this case, the other two points for creating a rectangle are deduced by the assumption, that the rectangle's sides are parallel to the X and Y axes. 2) Given s diagonal, a rectangle can be constructed in infinite ways, the other two corners lie on the circumscribed circle with centre in the middle of the diagonal and radius half the diagonal; it doesn't matter which other line, bisecting the circle, is picked for the other diagonal, the result of those two lines (the diagonal and the arbitrary other line) results in a rectangle. 3) Terms like bottom-left and top-right do not apply, once the rectangle is rotated in degrees other than 90, 180, 270, each corner gets accordingly the bottom, the left, the top and the right positions; bottom-left and top-right apply only in the case when the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the X and Y axes. I've seen interviewers , who invent cases for a problem as they go, without actually completely understanding the problem themselves. They are not required to understand the problem or to know a fully functional solution. In some cases with more advanced problems, they don't even want a complete solution. They usually consider the interviewee's thought process, communication skills, analytical skills, reasoning, and translation from thoughts to code. I personally don't like the human-processor/debugger part, some of them require, but it is what it is - a white board interview. Someone, probably an author in one of the ThoughtWorks anthology books, in his role as an interviewer, seeking for Java developers, had been asking the candidates, who knew Java well, whether they knew Smalltalk as well... He did not explain much about his question and whether he received a satisfying answer in those interviews or not. It's not a question to throw candidates off, although many were thrown off by it. It's more like "I see you are well prepared for the interview, can we just have a chat now?". Java, being a coffee, and small talk usually go well together... It's a meta-question and a joke, but it's not an easy thing to catch, especially if one is stressed out from the interview... Also considering the cultural gap, the interviewees were from India, and he was from the USA. In India the traditional beverage is tea, not coffee. I give him 8 out of 10 for trying to break the form called "an interview" and 0 out of 10 for not taking into consideration the cultural differences. One can not know everything (probably), yet he insists in his writings later on about them not getting his question by mentioning it. His company needed the people, so he hired them. I've talked with many HR representatives from different companies and recruitment agencies, even just listened to some of them (one sided thing) on KZbin, reading their blogs and interviews in the press. Some of them are really funny people. Some expect from the candidates things that have nothing to do with the job, they are applying for. And those things are bleeding the interviewers' personalities or what they miss in their own job. In the end of the day, they need to hire people and they do. As KZbin personnel likes to joke - "A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with the situation.". Then Netflix stepped up the game and created an actual "team" of monkeys, who do not deal with situations, but create them. At least that was what the first couple of them were doing. Later on they created even more for fixing and monitoring stuff. :-)

[@01KidFinisher10]

Basically, you're given two rectangles. The rectangles are denoted by the bottom left and top right coordinates (so they are made up by only horizontal and vertical lines.) Imagine they overlap. Shade that overlapped region. You now have to write a function that gives the area of that shaded region. To do it, first figure out how that could be done by pen and paper, or just figure out the steps that you need. Then try writing the programme. It's not that hard of a programming problem, you just have to get the maths behind it. GOOD LUCK :)

Question : The inputs are 2 points for each rectangle(2 rectangles) bottom left and top right. we need to find the overlapping area. (please correct me if i am missing anything here) let me explain.. consider a single rectangle and the information we have on it is one diagonal's points(bottom left and top right). so what can be possible points for remaining two . They lie on the perimeter of the circle with this diagonal(input) as diameter(since angle formed by diameter on perimeter is 90 deg so is the angle by adjacent sides of rectangle). lets get back to our question.. here we have 2 diagonals for each rectangle. if we construct 2 circles with these 2 diagonals as diameters. lets consider there is a small overlapping region for these 2 circles. Now consider 2 scenarios 1.if both rectangles have their 3rd of the point outside the intersecting arcs. here there wont be any overlapping. see image i.imgur.com/ZCV9xFW.png 2. if both rectangles having their 3rd of the point inside the intersecting arcs. here we can say they easily intersect. see image i.imgur.com/ih167pG.png so with same inputs we are getting contradicting scenarios. so i feel this is insufficient data.. please correct me if there is any mistake in my assumptions or if i am missing anything.
