Solution: Car Pooling

Explore how to solve the car pooling problem by simulating passenger pickups and drop-offs along a timeline. Understand how to efficiently track passenger counts using a difference array approach, ensuring the car's capacity is never exceeded. This lesson helps you apply interval and prefix sum patterns to manage overlapping trip intervals and validate trip feasibility.

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] ...
