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] in as [1,5],[6,9].

Example 2:

Given [1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,10],[12,16], insert and merge [4,9] in as [1,2],[3,10],[12,16].

This is because the new interval [4,9] overlaps with [3,5],[6,7],[8,10].

这道题的要求是给定一组非重叠且开始时间有序的间隔,在其中插入一个新的间隔。

当然,这道题可以借助Merge Intervals里面的代码,先将新的间隔加入到数组中,然后合并即可。时间复杂度是O(nlogn)。

事实上,也可以不排序,直接插入时间间隔,插入的时间间隔的位置可以分成三部分:

  • 插入位置左侧
  • 插入位置(有重叠或无重叠)
  • 插入位置右侧

这三个部分分别处理,只有在插入位置处理可能存在的情况即可。

时间复杂度:O(n)

空间复杂度:O(n)
