Question

Write a python function that accepts two integer values corresponding to the point (x, y). Check whether the point is within the rectangle centered at (0, 0) with width 20 and height 15. For example, (-9, 7) is inside the rectangle and (11, 4) is outside the rectangle, as shown in the figure. Return True if the point falls within the rectangle and False otherwise

#code

#returns True if x,y is within rectangle
def isInRect(x, y):
    #width and height of rectangle
    width=20
    height=15
    #since the rectangle is centered at (0,0), we just need to check if
    # -width/2 <= x <= width/2 and -height/2 <= y <= height/2
    if x>=(-width/2) and x<=(width/2) and y>=(-height/2) and y<=(height/2):
        #inside or in boundary
        return True
    #outside
    return False

#testing
print(isInRect(-9, 7)) #True
print(isInRect(11, 4)) #False

#output

True

False
