LeetCode OJ 57 Insert Interval [hard]

题目描述：

Given a set of non-overlappingintervals, insert a new interval into the intervals (merge if necessary).

You may assume thatthe intervals were initially sorted according to their start times.

Example 1:
Given intervals [1,3],[6,9], insertand 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 thenew interval [4,9] overlaps with [3,5],[6,7],[8,10].

理解:

给定一个区间组成的集合，插入衣蛾新的区间到集合中，合并需要合并的区间

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

分析：

将新的区间加入到区间集合中，再升序排序，按照题目56的方法进行合并；

解答：

public static class Interval {
    int start;
    int end;

    Interval() {
        start = 0;
        end = 0;
    }

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

public static List<Interval> insert(List<Interval> intervals, Interval newInterval) {
    List<Interval> ans = new ArrayList<>();
    intervals.add(newInterval);
    Collections.sort(intervals, new Comparator<Interval>() {
        @Override
        public int compare(Interval o1, Interval o2) {
            return Integer.compare(o1.start, o2.start);
        }
    });
    int start = intervals.get(0).start;
    int end = intervals.get(0).end;
    for (int i = 1; i < intervals.size(); i++) {
        if (end >= intervals.get(i).start) {
            end = Math.max(end, intervals.get(i).end);
        } else {
            ans.add(new Interval(start, end));
            start = intervals.get(i).start;
            end = intervals.get(i).end;
        }
    }
    ans.add(new Interval(start, end));
    return ans;
}
