original prompt

consider a text file like this: 22-65,22-66 91-94,63-91 6-88,5-31 85-86,64-86 40-65,40-65 25-82,24-94

write an gnu-x86 assembly program that:

• reads a text file like this line by line and count how often one of the two ranges contains the other.
• accepts the filename via command line arg
• outputs the result using printf with a suitable string A range r1 contains the other r2 when the r1.lower <= r2.lower and r1.upper >= r2.upper the program needs to output how often that is the case in the entire file

add task 2 to c code:

can you add another check to the c code: it should now also check if one of the ranges overlaps the other. A range r1 overlaps the other r2 if:

• r1.lower == r2.lower
• r1.upper == r2.upper
• r1.lower > r2.lower and r1.lower <= r2.upper
• r1.upper < r1.upper r1.upper >= r2.lower ... sorry i failed to mention that the overlaps and containment should be counted separately
