问题:
Given a collection of intervals, find the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.
Note:
- You may assume the interval's end point is always bigger than its start point.
- Intervals like [1,2] and [2,3] have borders "touching" but they don't overlap each other.
Example 1:
Input: [ [1,2], [2,3], [3,4], [1,3] ] Output: 1 Explanation: [1,3] can be removed and the rest of intervals are non-overlapping.
Example 2:
Input: [ [1,2], [1,2], [1,2] ] Output: 2 Explanation: You need to remove two [1,2] to make the rest of intervals non-overlapping.
Example 3:
Input: [ [1,2], [2,3] ] Output: 0 Explanation: You don't need to remove any of the intervals since they're already non-overlapping.
解决:
① 先排序,再删除。根据每个区间的start来做升序排序,然后我们开始要查找重叠区间,判断方法是看如果前一个区间的end大于后一个区间的start,那么一定是重复区间,此时我们结果res自增1,我们需要删除一个,那么此时我们究竟该删哪一个呢,为了保证我们总体去掉的区间数最小,我们去掉那个end值较大的区间。
/**
* 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; }
* }
*/
class Solution { //5ms
public int eraseOverlapIntervals(Interval[] intervals) {
Arrays.sort(intervals, new Comparator<Interval>() {
@Override
public int compare(Interval o1, Interval o2) {//按照start升序排列
return o1.start - o2.start;
}
});
int count = 0;//记录要删除的个数
int last = 0;
int len = intervals.length;
for (int i = 1;i < len;i ++){
if (intervals[i].start < intervals[last].end){
count ++;
if (intervals[i].end < intervals[last].end) last = i;
}else {
last = i;
}
}
return count;
}
}
