plot overlap

Question

I am trying to check instances where the plot does not overlap, but the way I am implement is apparently not working.
boolean check = false;
if(this.x>=plot.getX()+plot.getWidth()||plot.getX()>=this.x+this.width){
check = false;
}
else if(this.y>=plot.getY()+plot.getDepth()||plot.getY()>=this.y+this.depth) {
check = false;
}
else{
check = true;
}
return check;
}

Answer 1

You should take a look at something called AABB collision. It's basically checking if ob rectangle is inside another. You can find it in almkst every language and it's pretty simple.

Answer 2

Which case does not work ? if they are rectangles, I tested this and it was all ok
public static void main(String[] args) {
var a = new Rectangle(50,50,50,50); // x,y, width,depth
var b = new Rectangle();
int[][] test = // {x, xmax, result}
{{120,150,0},{ 80,150,1},{ 60, 80,1},{ 40, 80,1},{ 40,150,1},{ 20, 40,0}};
for (int[] tx: test) {
b.x = tx[0];
b.width = tx[1]-tx[0];
for (int[] ty: test) { // >>
b.y = ty[0];
b.depth = ty[1]-ty[0];
boolean res = a.overlaps(b);
String check = (res == ((tx[2]==1) && (ty[2]==1))) ? "ok": "wrong";
System.out.printf("%5b, %d, %d, %s\n", res, tx[2], ty[2], check );
} // >>
}
}
