check if a coordinate in mapkit is contained in specific boudns in swift

To check if a coordinate is contained within a specific set of bounds in MapKit using Swift programming language, you can use the containsCoordinate method of the MKMapView class. This method takes a CLLocationCoordinate2D value as an argument and returns a Boolean value indicating whether the coordinate is within the specified bounds.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to use this method:

main.swift
let mapBounds = MKMapRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 10000, height: 10000)
let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194)

if MKMapRectContainsPoint(mapBounds, MKMapPointForCoordinate(coordinate)) {
    print("Coordinate is within bounds")
} else {
    print("Coordinate is not within bounds")
}

In this example:

• mapBounds is an MKMapRect object that represents the specific bounds that you want to check against.
• coordinate is a CLLocationCoordinate2D object that represents the coordinate that you want to check.
• The containsCoordinate method is invoked by calling MKMapRectContainsPoint, passing in the mapBounds and MKMapPointForCoordinate(coordinate) as arguments. This method returns a Boolean value indicating whether the coordinate is within the specified bounds.

Note that the MKMapPointForCoordinate method is used to convert the CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate to an MKMapPoint value, which is required by the MKMapRectContainsPoint method.
