Hi guys, am I missing something here? To me it seems like the solution for the overlaps(with:) solution has a small error. This is what it currently is:
func overlaps(with area: DeliveryArea) -> Bool {
distance(from: center, to: area.center)
return distance(from: center, to: area.center) >= (range + area.range)
}
It seems like it should be comparing with “<=” instead of “>=” right? Given the following areas:
let area1 = DeliveryArea(range: 2.5, center: Location(x: 2, y: 4))
let area2 = DeliveryArea(range: 2.5, center: Location(x: 2, y: 100))
The areas shouldn’t overlap, however, the current solution says it does.
Sorry if this has been brought up before and/or I’m using an older version of the solutions!
@bbpiepho Thanks very much for your question! I believe <= is correct, and the reason why is that it is trying to identify whether a particular section falls within a particular region or not. If the region is <=, it means that section touches the other region at some point, and thus, would return true. If you used your approach, the method would still work, but a return value of false would mean that the region overlaps (which would be a bit more confusing)
@syedfa ahh, I just realized I copy pasted the overlap function once I had already modified it! But it seems that your reply validates what I was trying to depict, so thank you!
