# --- Day 4: Camp Cleanup ---
# Space needs to be cleared before the last supplies can be unloaded from the
# ships, and so several Elves have been assigned the job of cleaning up
# sections of the camp. Every section has a unique ID number, and each Elf is
# assigned a range of section IDs.
# However, as some of the Elves compare their section assignments with each
# other, they've noticed that many of the assignments overlap. To try to
# quickly find overlaps and reduce duplicated effort, the Elves pair up and
# make a big list of the section assignments for each pair (your puzzle input).
# For example, consider the following list of section assignment pairs:
# 2-4,6-8
# 2-3,4-5
# 5-7,7-9
# 2-8,3-7
# 6-6,4-6
# 2-6,4-8
# For the first few pairs, this list means:
# Within the first pair of Elves, the first Elf was assigned sections 2-4
# (sections 2, 3, and 4), while the second Elf was assigned sections 6-8
# (sections 6, 7, 8).
# The Elves in the second pair were each assigned two sections.
# The Elves in the third pair were each assigned three sections: one got
# sections 5, 6, and 7, while the other also got 7, plus 8 and 9.
# This example list uses single-digit section IDs to make it easier to draw;
# your actual list might contain larger numbers. Visually, these pairs of
# section assignments look like this:
# .234..... 2-4
# .....678. 6-8
# .23...... 2-3
# ...45.... 4-5
# ....567.. 5-7
# ......789 7-9
# .2345678. 2-8
# ..34567.. 3-7
# .....6... 6-6
# ...456... 4-6
# .23456... 2-6
# ...45678. 4-8
# Some of the pairs have noticed that one of their assignments fully contains
# the other. For example, 2-8 fully contains 3-7, and 6-6 is fully contained by
# 4-6. In pairs where one assignment fully contains the other, one Elf in the
# pair would be exclusively cleaning sections their partner will already be
# cleaning, so these seem like the most in need of reconsideration. In this
# example, there are 2 such pairs.
# In how many assignment pairs does one range fully contain the other?

# --- Part Two ---
# It seems like there is still quite a bit of duplicate work planned. Instead,
# the Elves would like to know the number of pairs that overlap at all.
# In the above example, the first two pairs (2-4,6-8 and 2-3,4-5) don't
# overlap, while the remaining four pairs (5-7,7-9, 2-8,3-7, 6-6,4-6, and
# 2-6,4-8) do overlap:
# 5-7,7-9 overlaps in a single section, 7.
# 2-8,3-7 overlaps all of the sections 3 through 7.
# 6-6,4-6 overlaps in a single section, 6.
# 2-6,4-8 overlaps in sections 4, 5, and 6.
# So, in this example, the number of overlapping assignment pairs is 4.
# In how many assignment pairs do the ranges overlap?
