Solution: The Skyline Problem

Explore how to solve the Skyline Problem by representing city skylines as merged outlines of buildings. Learn to apply the union-find pattern to efficiently combine overlapping building segments and generate the skyline shape. Understand the algorithm's implementation details and analyze its time and space complexity.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Imagine standing at a distance, viewing the skyline of a city. The skyline is the shape formed by all the buildings in the city when viewed together. Your task is to determine the shape of this skyline, given all the buildings’ position and height. Each building is represented by three values in the array buildings, where buildings[i]=[lefti, righti, heighti]buildings[i] = [left_i,~right_i,~ height_i] ...
