Non-Overlapping Intervals Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 435.
Given an array of intervals intervals where intervals[i] = [start_i, end_i], return the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.
Example 1:
1
2
3
Input: intervals = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,3]]
Output: 1
Explanation: [1,3] can be removed and the rest of the intervals are non-overlapping.
Example 2:
1
2
3
Input: intervals = [[1,2],[1,2],[1,2]]
Output: 2
Explanation: You need to remove two [1,2] to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.
Example 3:
1
2
3
Input: intervals = [[1,2],[2,3]]
Output: 0
Explanation: You don't need to remove any of the intervals since they're already non-overlapping.
Constraints:
- 1 <= intervals.length <= 10^5
- intervals[i].length == 2
- -5 * 10^4 <= start_i < end_i <= 5 * 10^4
