Solution: Interval List Intersections

Solution: Interval List Intersections

Let's solve the Interval List Intersections problem using the Merge Intervals pattern.

Statement

Given two lists of closed intervalsA closed interval [start, end] (with start <= end) includes all real numbers x such that start <= x <= end., intervalLista and intervalListb, return the intersection of the two interval lists.

Each interval in the lists has its own start and end time and is represented as [start, end]. Specifically:

  • intervalLista[i] = [starti, endi]

  • intervalListb[j] = [startj, endj]

The intersection of two closed intervals i and j is either:

  • An empty set, if they do not overlap, or

  • A closed interval [max(starti, startj), min(endi, endj)] if they do overlap.

Also, each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq intervalLista.length, intervalListb.length 1000\leq 1000

  • intervalLista.length ++ intervalListb.length ...
