The Skyline Problem

Understand how to determine the skyline formed by multiple buildings given their positions and heights. Explore the union-find algorithm to combine building outlines into a single skyline, avoiding redundant horizontal lines. This lesson helps you develop coding interview skills by implementing an efficient solution to a classic computational geometry problem.

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 ...
