Rectangle Area

Problem Statement

Given the coordinates of two rectilinear rectangles in a 2D plane, return the total area covered by the two rectangles. The first rectangle is defined by its bottom-left corner (ax1, ay1) and its top-right corner (ax2, ay2). The second rectangle is defined by its bottom-left corner (bx1, by1) and its top-right corner (bx2, by2).

45

# Example 2

Input
ax1 = -2, ay1 = -2, ax2 = 2, ay2 = 2, bx1 = -2, by1 = -2, bx2 = 2, by2 = 2
