The edge case

{
  "p1": {
    "x": -2,
    "y": 1
  },
  "p2": {
    "x": 2,
    "y": 1

Know the limits

• Returns [x, y] as in the original.

The function above is the implementation used by the lab. The lab validates JSON types and caps size before execution; include equivalent validation when accepting untrusted input in your application.

Keep exploring

• Convert degrees to radians — Multiply by π and divide by 180.
• Check if a rectangle contains another one — Compare corners: a contains b when b’s corners sit inside or on a’s edges.
• Check if a rectangle overlaps another one — Two rectangles overlap when they overlap on both axes.
