Java method to find the rectangle that is the intersection of two rectangles using only left bottom point, width and height?

Question

I have found the solution but wanted to ensure my logic is the most efficient. I feel that there is a better way. I have the (x,y) coordinate of the bottom left corner, heig

Answer 1

My variation of determining intersection of two rectangles in a small utility function.

//returns true when intersection is found, false otherwise.
//when returning true, rectangle 'out' holds the intersection of r1 and r2.
private static boolean intersection2(Rectangle r1, Rectangle r2,
        Rectangle out) {
    float xmin = Math.max(r1.x, r2.x);
    float xmax1 = r1.x + r1.width;
    float xmax2 = r2.x + r2.width;
    float xmax = Math.min(xmax1, xmax2);
    if (xmax > xmin) {
        float ymin = Math.max(r1.y, r2.y);
        float ymax1 = r1.y + r1.height;
        float ymax2 = r2.y + r2.height;
        float ymax = Math.min(ymax1, ymax2);
        if (ymax > ymin) {
            out.x = xmin;
            out.y = ymin;
            out.width = xmax - xmin;
            out.height = ymax - ymin;
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
