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.

The corresponding method for IntervalArray.

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
