Hi Saksham,
Always the higher suffix cidr will be in lower suffix cidr.
10.1.1.0/24 will have 256 addresses and 10.1.1.0/25 will have 128 addresses[1].
/25 will be completely in /24 but not wise versa.
The below are incorrect.
> isNetworkAWithinNetworkB("10.1.1.0/24", "10.1.1.0/25") returns true
> isNetworkAWithinNetworkB("10.1.1.0/22", "10.1.1.0/23") returns true
I think you can change isNetworkAWithinNetworkB method to compare respective ip
ranges for cidrs.
What about changing method name isNetworkACompletelyWithinNetworkB() ?
