Merge Intervals
Given a set of non-overlapping intervals, insert a new interval into the intervals (merge if necessary).
You may assume that the intervals were initially sorted according to their start times.
Example 1:
Given intervals [1,3],[6,9]
insert and merge [2,5]
would result in [1,5],[6,9]
.
Example 2:
Given [1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,10],[12,16]
, insert and merge [4,9]
would result in [1,2],[3,10],[12,16]
.
This is because the new interval [4,9]
overlaps with [3,5],[6,7],[8,10]
.
Make sure the returned intervals are also sorted.
public class Solution {
public ArrayList<Interval> insert(ArrayList<Interval> intervals, Interval newInterval) {
Interval current = newInterval;
int i = 0;
while (i < intervals.size()) {
Interval in = intervals.get(i);
if (in.end < current.start)
i++;
else if (in.start > current.end) {
intervals.add(i, current);
break;
} else {
current.start = Math.min(in.start, current.start);
current.end = Math.max(in.end, current.end);
intervals.remove(i);
}
}
if (i == intervals.size())
intervals.add(current);
return intervals;
}
}
