记住解决方案的一个简单方法是最小（结束）>最大（开始）

通过简单地确保一个范围在另一个范围之前或同时开始，可以大大简化基于范围之间的关系来检查大量条件的所有解决方案。如果需要，您可以在前面交换范围。

然后，如果第二个范围开始是：

小于或等于第一范围结束（如果包含范围，则包含开始时间和结束时间）；或小于（如果范围包括开始，不包括结束）。

例如（假设两端都包含），范围2只有四种可能性，其中一种是不重叠的（范围末尾的>表示范围结束的位置无关紧要）：

|-----|        range 1, lines below are all range 2.
|-->  :        overlap.
 |--> :        overlap.
      |--->    overlap (no overlap in exclusive-of-end case).
       |--->   no overlap.

第二个范围的端点根本不会影响结果。因此，在伪代码中，您可以执行以下操作（假设s<=e适用于所有范围-如果不适用，您也可以进行顶部交换）：

def overlaps(r1, r2):
    if r1.s > r2.s:
        swap r1, r2
    return r2.s <= r1.e

或者，一级限制递归选项：

def overlaps(r1, r2):
    if r1.s <= r2.s:
        return r2.s <= r1.e
    return overlaps(r2, r1)

如果范围在最后是排他的，则只需在返回的表达式中（在两个代码片段中）将<=替换为<即可。

这大大限制了您必须进行的检查的数量，因为您通过确保第一个范围不会在第二个范围之后开始，提前删除了一半的问题空间。

而且，由于“代码说话”，这里有一些Python代码在实际操作中显示了这一点，其中包含了相当多的测试用例。首先，InclusiveRange类：

class InclusiveRange:
    """InclusiveRange class to represent a lower and upper bound."""

    def __init__(self, start, end):
        """Initialisation, ensures start <= end.
        Args:
            start: The start of the range.
            end: The end of the range.
        """
        self.start = min(start, end)
        self.end = max(start, end)

    def __repr__(self):
        """Return representation for f-string."""
        return f"({self.start}, {self.end})"

    def overlaps(self, other):
        """True if range overlaps with another.
        Args:
            other: The other InclusiveRange to check against.
        """

        # Very limited recursion to ensure start of first range
        # isn't after start of second.

        if self.start > other.start:
            return other.overlaps(self)

        # Greatly simplified check for overlap.

        return other.start <= self.end

然后是一个测试用例处理程序，允许我们很好地呈现单个测试用例的结果：

def test_case(range1, range2):
    """Single test case checker."""

    # Get low and high value for "graphic" output.

    low = min(range1.start, range2.start)
    high = max(range1.end, range2.end)

    # Output ranges and graphic.

    print(f"r1={range1} r2={range2}: ", end="")
    for val in range(low, high + 1):
        is_in_first = range1.start <= val <= range1.end
        is_in_second = range2.start <= val <= range2.end

        if is_in_first and is_in_second:
            print("|", end="")
        elif is_in_first:
            print("'", end="")
        elif is_in_second:
            print(",", end="")
        else:
            print(" ", end="")

    # Finally, output result of overlap check.

    print(f" - {range1.overlaps(range2)}\n")

最后，如果需要，可以添加自己的测试用例：

# Various test cases, add others if you doubt the correctness.

test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 1), InclusiveRange(8, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 4), InclusiveRange(5, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 4), InclusiveRange(4, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 7), InclusiveRange(2, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 4), InclusiveRange(0, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 9), InclusiveRange(4, 5))

test_case(InclusiveRange(8, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 1))
test_case(InclusiveRange(5, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 4))
test_case(InclusiveRange(4, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 4))
test_case(InclusiveRange(2, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 7))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 4))
test_case(InclusiveRange(0, 9), InclusiveRange(0, 9))
test_case(InclusiveRange(4, 5), InclusiveRange(0, 9))

产生输出的运行：

r1=(0, 1) r2=(8, 9): ''      ,, - False
r1=(0, 4) r2=(5, 9): ''''',,,,, - False
r1=(0, 4) r2=(4, 9): ''''|,,,,, - True
r1=(0, 7) r2=(2, 9): ''||||||,, - True
r1=(0, 4) r2=(0, 9): |||||,,,,, - True
r1=(0, 9) r2=(0, 9): |||||||||| - True
r1=(0, 9) r2=(4, 5): ''''||'''' - True
r1=(8, 9) r2=(0, 1): ,,      '' - False
r1=(5, 9) r2=(0, 4): ,,,,,''''' - False
r1=(4, 9) r2=(0, 4): ,,,,|''''' - True
r1=(2, 9) r2=(0, 7): ,,||||||'' - True
r1=(0, 9) r2=(0, 4): |||||''''' - True
r1=(0, 9) r2=(0, 9): |||||||||| - True
r1=(4, 5) r2=(0, 9): ,,,,||,,,, - True

其中每条线具有：

这两个范围被评估；“范围空间”（从最低开始到最高结束）的图形表示，其中每个字符都是“范围空间中的值”：'仅表示第一个范围内的值；，仅指示第二范围内的值；|表示两个范围中的值；和表示两个范围中的值。重叠检查的结果。

您可以非常清楚地看到，只有在两个范围中都至少有一个值（即，一个|字符）时，才能在重叠检查中获得真值。其他情况都是假的。

如果您想添加更多测试用例，请随意使用任何其他值。

为了涵盖PHP/LaravelCarbon包中的所有重叠情况，您可以在Charles的答案中展开逻辑，如下所示。

if ( ($startTime1->between($startTime2, $endTime2, true) || $endTime1->between($startTime2, $endTime2, true)) || (($startTime1 <= $endTime2) && ($endTime2 <= $endTime1)) ){
//Complete Overlap, Partial Left Overlap, Partial Right Overlap. 
}

这将检查StartTime1是否在（StartTime2-EndTime2）范围之间，或者EndTime1是否位于（StartTime2-EndTime2的范围之间。

其余部分完全重叠，如其他答案所述。

这里有一个可以在本地使用的通用方法。

    // Takes a list and returns all records that have overlapping time ranges.
    public static IEnumerable<T> GetOverlappedTimes<T>(IEnumerable<T> list, Func<T, bool> filter, Func<T,DateTime> start, Func<T, DateTime> end)
    {
        // Selects all records that match filter() on left side and returns all records on right side that overlap.
        var overlap = from t1 in list
                      where filter(t1)
                      from t2 in list
                      where !object.Equals(t1, t2) // Don't match the same record on right side.
                      let in1 = start(t1)
                      let out1 = end(t1)
                      let in2 = start(t2)
                      let out2 = end(t2)
                      where in1 <= out2 && out1 >= in2
                      let totover = GetMins(in1, out1, in2, out2)
                      select t2;

        return overlap;
    }

    public static void TestOverlap()
    {
        var tl1 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 1:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 4:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl2 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 2, Name = "John", In = "1/1/08 5:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 6:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl3 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 3, Name = "Lisa", In = "1/1/08 7:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 9:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl4 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 4, Name = "Joe", In = "1/1/08 3:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl5 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 8:01pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var list = new List<TempTimeEntry>() { tl1, tl2, tl3, tl4, tl5 };
        var overlap = GetOverlappedTimes(list, (TempTimeEntry t1)=>t1.ID==1, (TempTimeEntry tIn) => tIn.In, (TempTimeEntry tOut) => tOut.Out);

        Console.WriteLine("\nRecords overlap:");
        foreach (var tl in overlap)
            Console.WriteLine("Name:{0} T1In:{1} T1Out:{2}", tl.Name, tl.In, tl.Out);
        Console.WriteLine("Done");

        /*  Output:
            Records overlap:
            Name:Joe T1In:1/1/2008 3:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 8:00:00 PM
            Name:Lisa T1In:1/1/2008 7:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 9:00:00 PM
            Done
         */
    }

下面的查询给出了提供的日期范围（开始和结束日期）与table_name中的任何日期（开始和终止日期）重叠的ID

select id from table_name where (START_DT_TM >= 'END_DATE_TIME'  OR   
(END_DT_TM BETWEEN 'START_DATE_TIME' AND 'END_DATE_TIME'))

答案对我来说太简单了，所以我创建了一个更通用的动态SQL语句，用于检查某人是否有重叠的日期。

SELECT DISTINCT T1.EmpID
FROM Table1 T1
INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.EmpID = T2.EmpID 
    AND T1.JobID <> T2.JobID
    AND (
        (T1.DateFrom >= T2.DateFrom AND T1.dateFrom <= T2.DateTo) 
        OR (T1.DateTo >= T2.DateFrom AND T1.DateTo <= T2.DateTo)
        OR (T1.DateFrom < T2.DateFrom AND T1.DateTo IS NULL)
    )
    AND NOT (T1.DateFrom = T2.DateFrom)
