Solution: Merge Intervals

Explore the process of solving the merge intervals problem by sorting intervals and merging overlapping pairs. Understand how to optimize your solution using sorting to reduce complexity, then iteratively create a list of non-overlapping intervals. This lesson helps you implement an efficient approach to handle interval merging with a time complexity of O(n log n) and minimal space usage.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

We are given an array of closed intervalsclosedintervals called intervals, where each interval has a start time and an end time and is represented as intervals[i] = [starti, endi]. Your task is to merge all the overlapping intervalsOverlapping intervals are two or more intervals with at least one common point in time. and return an array of the resulting non-overlapping intervals that cover all the intervals in the input.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq intervals.length ...
