Question

Create: A method called contains(x, y) – returns True if the point at x,y is contained within the Rectangle, false otherwise

Create: A method called intersects(otherRectangle) - returns True if this Rectangle intersects the otherRectangle, False otherwise

This is what I have thus far. please help!

class Rectangle(object):
__rectangleCount = 0
  
@staticmethod
def numRectangles():
return Rectangle.__rectangleCount
  
def __init__(self, x, y, width, height):
if width <= 0:
raise Exception("width must be a positive number")
if height <= 0:
raise Exception("height must be a positive number")
  
self.__x = x
self.__y = y
self.__width = width
self.__height = height
Rectangle.__rectangleCount += 1
   #self.__xbot = (x + width)
   #self.__ybot = (y + height)

def getHeight(self):
return self.__height
  
def getWidth(self):
return self.__width
  
def getX(self):
return self.__x
  
def getY(self):
return self.__y
  
def __str__(self):
return "Rectangle:x=" + str(self.__x) + ",y=" + str(self.__y) +
",width=" + str(self.__width) + ",height=" + str(self.__height)
  
def contains(self, x, y):
if self.__x < self.__width and self.__y < self.__height:
return True
else:
return False   
  
def intersects(self, otherRectangle):
   return True
