Merge an Array With Overlapping Intervals
Merge overlapping intervals in an array of interval pairs.
We'll cover the following
Statement
We’re given an array of interval pairs as input where each interval has a start and end timestamp. The input array is sorted by starting timestamps. Merge the overlapping intervals and return a new output array.
Example
Consider the input array below. Intervals [1, 5], [3, 7], [4, 6], [6, 8] are overlapping, so they should be merged to one big interval [1, 8]. Similarly, intervals [10, 12] and [12, 15] are also overlapping and should be merged to [10, 15].
