[Tutor] overlapping tuples

[Narasimharao Nelluri]

Hi peter,

Thanks a lot for your inputs, i will work your inputs and let you know. For
the last question if there is independent over lap for ex: in below case
python should return [(5,7),(6,8)]

tuple_overlap([(0, 2), (1, 3), (5, 7), (6, 8)])

I tried different combinations as of i didn't get perfect solution.

Thanks
Narasimha.
