## Implementation

```javascript
function isInside({ point, rect }) { return point.x > rect.left && point.x < rect.right && point.y > rect.top && point.y < rect.bottom; }
```

## Input

```json
{
  "point": {
    "x": 5,
    "y": 5
  },
  "rect": {
    "left": 0,
    "top": 0,
    "right": 10,
    "bottom": 10
  }
}
```

## Expected output

```json
true
```

## Edge case

Input:
```json
{
  "point": {
    "x": 10,
    "y": 5
  },
  "rect": {
    "left": 0,
    "top": 0,
    "right": 10,
    "bottom": 10
  }
}
```
Output:
```json
false
```

## Limits

- Points on an edge are outside, as the edge case shows.

The lab validates types and size before calling this function. Add equivalent validation at your own trust boundary.
