Leetcode Insert Interval

OpenSoucre發表於2014-07-05

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].

 題目的意思:給定一個非重疊的區間,插入一個新的區間,如果區間與其他區間相交,則必須合併

注意題目有個假設,區間根據start時間進行了排序,所以自己不需要排序

struct Interval {
    int start;
    int end;
    Interval() : start(0), end(0) {}
    Interval(int s, int e) : start(s), end(e) {}
};

解題思路:設給定的區間為intervals,插入的區間為newInterval,只需要將newInterval與intervals相交的區間合併即可,

如果newInterval與intervals沒有相交的區間,則必須將newInterval插入到相應的位置

本題有三種情況

  (1)如果intervals[i].end < newInterval.start,說明intervals[i]與newInterval不相交,保留即可

  (2)如果intervals[i].start > newInterval.end, 說明intervals[i]與newInterval不相交,將newInterval插入即可,注意這時候其後面的intervals[i],都可以保留,這是由於本身區間是不想交的。

   (3)  如果intervals[i].start < newInterval.end,說明區間相交,合併區間,更新newInterval

class Solution {
public:
    vector<Interval> insert(vector<Interval> &intervals, Interval newInterval) {
        vector<Interval> res;
        for(int i = 0 ; i < intervals.size(); ++ i){
            if(intervals[i].end < newInterval.start) res.push_back(intervals[i]);
            else if(intervals[i].start > newInterval.end) {
                res.push_back(newInterval);
                newInterval = intervals[i];
            }else if(intervals[i].start <= newInterval.end ){
                newInterval.start = min(newInterval.start, intervals[i].start);
                newInterval.end =  max(newInterval.end, intervals[i].end);
            }
        }
        res.push_back(newInterval);
        return res;
    }
};
