Interval List Intersections

Explore how to determine the intersection of two sorted lists of closed intervals. This lesson helps you learn to analyze interval boundaries, identify overlaps, and implement efficient solutions for coding interview problems involving interval intersections.

Statement

Given two lists of closed intervalsA closed interval [start, end] (with start <= end) includes all real numbers x such that start <= x <= end., intervalLista and intervalListb, return the intersection of the two interval lists.

Each interval in the lists has its own start and end time and is represented as [start, end]. Specifically:

  • intervalLista[i] = [starti, endi]

  • intervalListb[j] = [startj, endj]

The intersection of two closed intervals i and j is either:

  • An empty set, if they do not overlap, or

  • A closed interval [max(starti, startj), min(endi, endj)] if they do overlap.

Also, each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq ...
