Solution: Find Right Interval

Explore how to use min heaps to efficiently find the right interval for each interval in a list. Understand the approach of processing intervals by their end times and using heaps to minimize comparisons. This lesson helps develop skills for dynamic data handling and optimization in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given an array of intervals where each interval is represented by a pair [starti,endi][start_i, end_i]. The startistart_i values are unique, meaning no two intervals begin at the same time.

The task is to find the right interval for each interval in the list. The right interval for an interval ii is an interval jj such that startj>=endistart_j >= end_i ...
