# pandas.IntervalIndex.is_overlapping

property IntervalIndex.is_overlapping

  Return True if the IntervalIndex has overlapping intervals, else False.

  Two intervals overlap if they share a common point, including closed endpoints. Intervals that only have an open endpoint in common do not overlap.

  Returns:
    bool

      Boolean indicating if the IntervalIndex has overlapping intervals.

    Check whether two Interval objects overlap.

  `IntervalIndex.overlaps`

    Check an IntervalIndex elementwise for overlaps.

  Examples

      >>> index = pd.IntervalIndex.from_tuples([(0, 2), (1, 3), (4, 5)])
      >>> index
      IntervalIndex([(0, 2], (1, 3], (4, 5]],
            dtype='interval[int64, right]')
      >>> index.is_overlapping
      True

  Intervals that share closed endpoints overlap:

      >>> index = pd.interval_range(0, 3, closed='both')
      >>> index
      IntervalIndex([[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3]],
            dtype='interval[int64, both]')
      >>> index.is_overlapping
      True

  Intervals that only have an open endpoint in common do not overlap:

      >>> index = pd.interval_range(0, 3, closed='left')
      >>> index
      IntervalIndex([[0, 1), [1, 2), [2, 3)],
            dtype='interval[int64, left]')
      >>> index.is_overlapping
      False
