• A reworking of the geeks for geeks overlap function to work with our tuples and top left origin
  
• def do_overlap(l1, r1, l2, r2):
    # If one rectangle is to the left of the other
    if l1[0] > r2[0] or l2[0] > r1[0]:
        return False

    # If one rectangle is above the other
    if r1[1] < l2[1] or r2[1] < l1[1]:
        return False

    return True
• Alternatively - if we are using dictionaries rather than tuples,
  
• def do_overlap(l1, r1, l2, r2):
  

      # If one rectangle is to the left of the other
      if l1.get('x') > r2.get('x') or l2.get('x') > r1.get('x'):
          return False
  
      # If one rectangle is above the other
      if r1.get('y') < l2.get('y') or r2.get('y') < l1.get('y'):
          return False
  
      return True
