给定两个包含范围[x1:x2]和[y1:y2]，其中x1≤x2和y1≤y2，测试这两个范围是否有重叠的最有效方法是什么?
一个简单的实现如下:
bool testOverlap(int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2) {
return (x1 >= y1 && x1 <= y2) ||
(x2 >= y1 && x2 <= y2) ||
(y1 >= x1 && y1 <= x2) ||
(y2 >= x1 && y2 <= x2);
}
但是我希望有更有效的方法来计算这个。
就最少的操作而言，哪种方法是最有效的?

什么新东西。只是可读性更强。
def overlap(event_1, event_2):
start_time_1 = event_1[0]
end_time_1 = event_1[1]
start_time_2 = event_2[0]
end_time_2 = event_2[1]
start_late = max(start_time_1, start_time_2)
end_early = min(end_time_1, end_time_2)
# The event that starts late should only be after the event ending early.
if start_late > end_early:
print("Absoloutly No overlap!")
else:
print("Events do overlap!")

这很容易扭曲正常人的大脑，所以我找到了一个更容易理解的视觉方法:
勒解释
如果两个范围“太胖”，无法放入正好是两者宽度之和的槽中，那么它们就会重叠。
对于范围[a1, a2]和[b1, b2]，这将是:
/**
* we are testing for:
* max point - min point < w1 + w2
**/
if max(a2, b2) - min(a1, b1) < (a2 - a1) + (b2 - b1) {
// too fat -- they overlap!
}
值域重叠是什么意思?这意味着存在一个在两个范围内的数C，即。
x1 <= C <= x2
and
y1 <= C <= y2
为了避免混淆，考虑范围为: [x1:x2]和[y1:y2]
现在，如果我们可以假设范围是构造良好的(因此x1 <= x2和y1 <= y2)，那么就足以进行测试
x1 <= y2 && y1 <= x2
OR
(StartA <= EndB)和(EndA >= StartB)

start_time_1 = event_1[0]
end_time_1 = event_1[1]
start_time_2 = event_2[0]
end_time_2 = event_2[1]
start_late = max(start_time_1, start_time_2)
end_early = min(end_time_1, end_time_2)
# The event that starts late should only be after the event ending early.
if start_late > end_early:
print("Absoloutly No overlap!")
else:
print("Events do overlap!")
以下是我的看法:
int xmin = min(x1,x2)
, xmax = max(x1,x2)
, ymin = min(y1,y2)
, ymax = max(y1,y2);
for (int i = xmin; i < xmax; ++i)
if (ymin <= i && i <= ymax)
return true;
return false;
除非您正在对数十亿个宽间距整数运行一些高性能的范围检查器，否则我们的版本应该执行类似的操作。我的观点是，这是微观优化。
如果有人正在寻找计算实际重叠的一行程序:
int overlap = ( x2 > y1 || y2 < x1 ) ? 0 : (y2 >= y1 && x2 <= y1 ? y1 : y2) - ( x2 <= x1 && y2 >= x1 ? x1 : x2) + 1; //max 11 operations
如果你想要少一些操作，但多一些变量:
bool b1 = x2 <= y1;
bool b2 = y2 >= x1;
int overlap = ( !b1 || !b2 ) ? 0 : (y2 >= y1 && b1 ? y1 : y2) - ( x2 <= x1 && b2 ? x1 : x2) + 1; // max 9 operations
