给定两个日期范围,确定两个日期是否重叠的最简单或最有效的方法是什么?

例如,假设我们有由DateTime变量StartDate1到EndDate1和StartDate2到EndDate2表示的范围。


当前回答

我会的

StartDate1.IsBetween(StartDate2, EndDate2) || EndDate1.IsBetween(StartDate2, EndDate2)

IsBetween是这样的

    public static bool IsBetween(this DateTime value, DateTime left, DateTime right) {
        return (value > left && value < right) || (value < left && value > right);
    }

其他回答

简单的解决方案:

compare the two dates: 
    A = the one with smaller start date, B = the one with bigger start date
if(A.end < B.start)
    return false
return true

此处发布的解决方案不适用于所有重叠范围。。。

----------------------|-------A-------|----------------------
    |----B1----|
           |----B2----|
               |----B3----|
               |----------B4----------|
               |----------------B5----------------|
                      |----B6----|
----------------------|-------A-------|----------------------
                      |------B7-------|
                      |----------B8-----------|
                         |----B9----|
                         |----B10-----|
                         |--------B11--------|
                                      |----B12----|
                                         |----B13----|
----------------------|-------A-------|----------------------

我的工作解决方案是:

AND (
  ('start_date' BETWEEN STARTDATE AND ENDDATE) -- caters for inner and end date outer
  OR
  ('end_date' BETWEEN STARTDATE AND ENDDATE) -- caters for inner and start date outer
  OR
  (STARTDATE BETWEEN 'start_date' AND 'end_date') -- only one needed for outer range where dates are inside.
) 

这是我的解决方案,当值不重叠时返回真值:

X开始1Y端1

开始2B端2

TEST1: (X <= A || X >= B)
        &&
TEST2: (Y >= B || Y <= A) 
        && 
TEST3: (X >= B || Y <= A)


X-------------Y
    A-----B

TEST1:  TRUE
TEST2:  TRUE
TEST3:  FALSE
RESULT: FALSE

---------------------------------------

X---Y
      A---B

TEST1:  TRUE
TEST2:  TRUE
TEST3:  TRUE
RESULT: TRUE

---------------------------------------

      X---Y
A---B

TEST1:  TRUE
TEST2:  TRUE
TEST3:  TRUE
RESULT: TRUE

---------------------------------------

     X----Y
A---------------B

TEST1:  FALSE
TEST2:  FALSE
TEST3:  FALSE
RESULT: FALSE

这里还有一个使用JavaScript的解决方案。我的解决方案的特点:

将空值处理为无穷大假设下限是包含的,上限是不包含的。附带一系列测试

这些测试基于整数,但由于JavaScript中的日期对象是可比较的,因此您也可以添加两个日期对象。或者您可以输入毫秒时间戳。

代码:

/**
 * Compares to comparable objects to find out whether they overlap.
 * It is assumed that the interval is in the format [from,to) (read: from is inclusive, to is exclusive).
 * A null value is interpreted as infinity
 */
function intervalsOverlap(from1, to1, from2, to2) {
    return (to2 === null || from1 < to2) && (to1 === null || to1 > from2);
}

测验:

describe('', function() {
    function generateTest(firstRange, secondRange, expected) {
        it(JSON.stringify(firstRange) + ' and ' + JSON.stringify(secondRange), function() {
            expect(intervalsOverlap(firstRange[0], firstRange[1], secondRange[0], secondRange[1])).toBe(expected);
        });
    }

    describe('no overlap (touching ends)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [20,30], false);
        generateTest([20,30], [10,20], false);

        generateTest([10,20], [20,null], false);
        generateTest([20,null], [10,20], false);

        generateTest([null,20], [20,30], false);
        generateTest([20,30], [null,20], false);
    });

    describe('do overlap (one end overlaps)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [19,30], true);
        generateTest([19,30], [10,20], true);

        generateTest([10,20], [null,30], true);
        generateTest([10,20], [19,null], true);
        generateTest([null,30], [10,20], true);
        generateTest([19,null], [10,20], true);
    });

    describe('do overlap (one range included in other range)', function() {
        generateTest([10,40], [20,30], true);
        generateTest([20,30], [10,40], true);

        generateTest([10,40], [null,null], true);
        generateTest([null,null], [10,40], true);
    });

    describe('do overlap (both ranges equal)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [10,20], true);

        generateTest([null,20], [null,20], true);
        generateTest([10,null], [10,null], true);
        generateTest([null,null], [null,null], true);
    });
});

使用karma&jasmine&PhantomJS运行时的结果:

PhantomJS 1.9.8(Linux):执行20次成功(0.003秒/0.004秒)

在Microsoft SQL SERVER中-SQL函数

CREATE FUNCTION IsOverlapDates 
(
    @startDate1 as datetime,
    @endDate1 as datetime,
    @startDate2 as datetime,
    @endDate2 as datetime
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Overlap as int
SET @Overlap = (SELECT CASE WHEN  (
        (@startDate1 BETWEEN @startDate2 AND @endDate2) -- caters for inner and end date outer
        OR
        (@endDate1 BETWEEN @startDate2 AND @endDate2) -- caters for inner and start date outer
        OR
        (@startDate2 BETWEEN @startDate1 AND @endDate1) -- only one needed for outer range where dates are inside.
        ) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
    )
    RETURN @Overlap

END
GO

--Execution of the above code
DECLARE @startDate1 as datetime
DECLARE @endDate1 as datetime
DECLARE @startDate2 as datetime
DECLARE @endDate2 as datetime
DECLARE @Overlap as int
SET @startDate1 = '2014-06-01 01:00:00' 
SET @endDate1 =   '2014-06-01 02:00:00'
SET @startDate2 = '2014-06-01 01:00:00' 
SET @endDate2 =   '2014-06-01 01:30:00'

SET @Overlap = [dbo].[IsOverlapDates]  (@startDate1, @endDate1, @startDate2, @endDate2)

SELECT Overlap = @Overlap
