【LeetCode】56. Merge Intervals

问题描述

https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-intervals/#/description

Given a collection of intervals, merge all overlapping intervals.

For example,
Given [1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18],
return [1,6],[8,10],[15,18].

数轴覆盖问题。

算法

将各条线段的start按从小到大排序，然后依次比较每条线段的end，看是否被前一段覆盖即可。

代码

public List<Interval> merge(List<Interval> intervals) {            List<Interval> res = new ArrayList<>();            if(intervals == null || intervals.isEmpty()) return res;            Collections.sort(intervals, new Comparator<Interval>(){                @Override                public int compare(Interval a, Interval b) {                    if(a.start < b.start) {                        return -1;                    } else if(a.start > b.start) {                        return 1;                    }                    return 0;                }            });            int start=intervals.get(0).start, end=intervals.get(0).end;            for(Interval it:intervals) {                if(it.start <= end) {                    end = Math.max(it.end, end);                } else {                    res.add(new Interval(start, end));                    start = it.start;                    end = it.end;                }            }            res.add(new Interval(start, end));            return res;        }
