Find the total area covered by two rectilinear rectangles in a 2D plane.
Each rectangle is defined by its bottom left corner and top right corner as shown in the figure.
Assume that the total area is never beyond the maximum possible value of int.
Solution:
Add the areas of 2 rectangles and subtract the overlapping area.
Code:
public class Solution {
public int computeArea(int A, int B, int C, int D, int E, int F, int G, int H) {
int A1 = (C - A) * (D - B);
int A2 = (G - E) * (H - F);
int left = Math.max(A,E);
int right = Math.min(C,G);
int ceiling = Math.min(D,H);
int floor = Math.max(B,F);
int overlap = 0;
if(right > left && ceiling > floor){
overlap = (right - left) * (ceiling - floor);
}
return A1 + A2 - overlap;
}
}
