Question

Write a new method in the Rectangle class to test if a Point falls within the rectangle. For this exercise, assume that a rectangle at (0,0) with width 10 and height 5 has open upper bounds on the width and height, i.e. it stretches in the x direction from [0 to 10), where 0 is included but 10 is excluded, and from [0 to 5) in the y direction. So it does not contain the point (10, 2). These tests should pass:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rectangle and Point class is not provided in this question but was found online. Using that code as guidance I created the following method named contains. This method takes in a Point object and checks to see if the x-axis point is inside the parameters of the Rectangle class and then checks the same for the y-axis. If it is inside the Rectangle then the method returns true otherwise it returns false.

def contains(self, point):

return self.width > point.x >= self.corner.x and self.height > point.y >= self.corner.y
