156.Merge Intervals-合并区间（容易题）

合并区间

1. 题目

   给出若干闭合区间，合并所有重叠的部分。

2. 样例

   给出的区间列表 => 合并后的区间列表：
   

3. 挑战

   O(n log n) 的时间和 O(1) 的额外空间。

4. 题解

先排序再合并。

/**
 * Definition of Interval:
 * public class Interval {
 *     int start, end;
 *     Interval(int start, int end) {
 *         this.start = start;
 *         this.end = end;
 *     }
 */

class Solution {
    /**
     * @param intervals: Sorted interval list.
     * @return: A new sorted interval list.
     */
    public class Solution {
    public ArrayList<Interval> merge(ArrayList<Interval> intervals) {
        if (intervals == null || intervals.size() <= 1) 
        {
            return intervals;
        }

        Collections.sort(intervals, new IntervalComparator());       

        ArrayList<Interval> result = new ArrayList<Interval>();
        Interval last = intervals.get(0);
        for (int i = 1; i < intervals.size(); i++) 
        {
            Interval curt = intervals.get(i);
            if (curt.start <= last.end )
            {
                last.end = Math.max(last.end, curt.end);
            }
            else
            {
                result.add(last);
                last = curt;
            }
        }

        result.add(last);
        return result;
    }

    private class IntervalComparator implements Comparator<Interval> 
    {
        public int compare(Interval a, Interval b) 
        {
            return a.start - b.start;
        }
    }
}
