Given a collection of intervals, merge all overlapping intervals.
For example,
Given
return
Given
[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18]
,return
[1,6],[8,10],[15,18]
.
Solution:
假设这些interval是有序的(也就是说先按起始点排序,然后如果起始点相同就按结束点排序),那么要把它们合并就只需要按顺序读过来,如果当前一个和结果集中最后一个有重叠,那么就把结果集中最后一个元素设为当前元素的结束点(不用改变起始点因为起始点有序,因为结果集中最后一个元素起始点已经比当前元素小了)。那么剩下的问题就是如何给interval排序,在java实现中就是要给interval自定义一个Comparator,规则是按起始点排序,然后如果起始点相同就按结束点排序。整个算法是先排序,然后再做一次线性遍历,时间复杂度是O(nlogn+n)=O(nlogn),空间复杂度是O(1),因为不需要额外空间,只有结果集的空间。
