Car Pooling

Understand how to determine if a car can complete multiple trips without exceeding its passenger capacity by analyzing intervals for pickups and drop-offs. This lesson teaches you to approach the car pooling problem with interval-based logic to handle overlapping trips and capacity checks effectively.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a car with a fixed number of seats, denoted by an integer capacity. The car only travels in one direction — eastward — and does not make any U-turns.

You are also provided with an array, trips, where each element trips[i] =[numPassengersi,fromi,toi]= [\text{numPassengers}_i, \text{from}_i, \text{to}_i] ...
