lintcdoe: Number of Airplanes in the Sky

Number of Airplanes in the Sky

30:00

Given an interval list which are flying and landing time of the flight. How many airplanes are on the sky at most?

Have you met this question in a real interview?

Notice

If landing and flying happens at the same time, we consider landing should happen at first.

For interval list [[1,10],[2,3],[5,8],[4,7]], return 3
