Insert Interval

题目：

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].

Thoughts of This Problem

Quickly summarize 3 cases. Whenever there is intersection, created a new interval.

赞！！！

case 1 2，都是直接把new加入结果集中；

case3,是得到new和current的左端最小值，右端最大值，然后组合成一个interval加入结果集中

参考代码如下：

/**
 * Definition for an interval.
 * public class Interval {
 *     int start;
 *     int end;
 *     Interval() { start = 0; end = 0; }
 *     Interval(int s, int e) { start = s; end = e; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public ArrayList<Interval> insert(ArrayList<Interval> intervals, Interval newInterval) {
 
        ArrayList<Interval> result = new ArrayList<Interval>();
 
        for(Interval interval: intervals){
            if(interval.end < newInterval.start){
                result.add(interval);
            }else if(interval.start > newInterval.end){
                result.add(newInterval);
                newInterval = interval;        
            }else if(interval.end >= newInterval.start || interval.start <= newInterval.end){
                newInterval = new Interval(Math.min(interval.start, newInterval.start), Math.max(newInterval.end, interval.end));
            }
        }
 
        result.add(newInterval); 
 
        return result;
    }
}
