Implement CGRectContainsRect(rect1, rect2): return true if rect1 fully contains rect2, otherwise false.

Asked in the technical phone screen stage. First of two questions in an iOS phone screen.

Constraints

  • Each rectangle is represented as [x, y, width, height].
  • 1 <= width, height <= 10^9
  • -10^9 <= x, y <= 10^9
  • All values are integers or floating-point numbers.
