# pandas.Interval.overlaps

Interval.overlaps(other)

  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.

  Parameters:
    otherInterval

      Interval to check against for an overlap.

  Returns:
    bool

      True if the two intervals overlap.

  `IntervalIndex.overlaps`

    The corresponding method for IntervalIndex.

  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
