2015.03.30 LeetCode Merge Intervals 解题记录

今天下午做了一道题。leetcode merge intervals 属于比较难的题目。 

首先用collections.sort 给list排序，然后用两个while loop来比较两个interval 的start， end 。 从而生成新的interal，再插入到新的list 返回结果。 

下面给出自己的代码：

/*
 50 Merge Intervals 
 
 https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-intervals/
 Given a collection of intervals, merge all overlapping intervals.

 For example,
 Given [1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18],
 return [1,6],[8,10],[15,18].

 *     int start;
 *     int end;
 *     Interval() { start = 0; end = 0; }
 *     Interval(int s, int e) { start = s; end = e; }
 * }
