Decode the Coding Interview in Python: Real-World Examples

DIY: The Skyline Problem

Explore how to compute the skyline silhouette of a city by processing building dimensions and coordinates. This lesson helps you understand how to implement an algorithm that generates lists of skyline points without redundant height entries, preparing you for related coding interview problems.

We'll cover the following...

Problem statement

Given a buildings list, you have to draw the skyline of the outer contour of the city. The citys’ skyline is formed by the silhouette of all of its buildings. Each building in this buildingslist consists of the following information:

  • lefti: The x-coordinate of the left edge of the building.
  • righti: The x-coordinate of the right edge
