Given two lists of closed intervals, each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.
Return the intersection of these two interval lists.
(Formally, a closed interval [a, b]
(with a <= b
) denotes the set of real numbers x
with a <= x <= b
. The intersection of two closed intervals is a set of real numbers that is either empty, or can be represented as a closed interval. For example, the intersection of [1, 3] and [2, 4] is [2, 3].)
Example 1:
Input: A = [[0,2],[5,10],[13,23],[24,25]], B = [[1,5],[8,12],[15,24],[25,26]]
Output: [[1,2],[5,5],[8,10],[15,23],[24,24],[25,25]]
Reminder: The inputs and the desired output are lists of Interval objects, and not arrays or lists.
思路:跟Time Intersection一样,因为是有序的,可以直接打擂台的方式,扫描,start取最大值,end取最小值,如果start <= end就加入 res。否则,淘汰掉end在前面的那个interval;
class Solution {
public int[][] intervalIntersection(int[][] firstList, int[][] secondList) {
int a = 0; int b = 0;
List<int[]> list = new ArrayList<>();
while(a < firstList.length && b < secondList.length) {
int start = Math.max(firstList[a][0], secondList[b][0]);
int end = Math.min(firstList[a][1], secondList[b][1]);
if(start <= end) {
list.add(new int[] {start, end});
}
if(firstList[a][1] < secondList[b][1]) {
a++;
} else {
b++;
}
}
int[][] res = new int[list.size()][2];
for(int i = 0; i < res.length; i++) {
res[i][0] = list.get(i)[0];
res[i][1] = list.get(i)[1];
}
return res;
}
}
