pandas.Interval.overlaps — pandas 0.24.0rc1 documentation (original) (raw)

Interval. overlaps()

Check whether two Interval objects overlap.

Two intervals overlap if they share a common point, including closed endpoints. Intervals that only have an open endpoint in common do not overlap.

New in version 0.24.0.

Parameters: other : Interval The interval to check against for an overlap.
Returns: bool True if the two intervals overlap, else False.

Examples

i1 = pd.Interval(0, 2) i2 = pd.Interval(1, 3) i1.overlaps(i2) True i3 = pd.Interval(4, 5) i1.overlaps(i3) False

Intervals that share closed endpoints overlap:

i4 = pd.Interval(0, 1, closed='both') i5 = pd.Interval(1, 2, closed='both') i4.overlaps(i5) True

Intervals that only have an open endpoint in common do not overlap:

i6 = pd.Interval(1, 2, closed='neither') i4.overlaps(i6) False
