Merge Intervals
Merge Intervals
Given a list of intervals, your task is to merge all overlapping intervals and output the resulting non-overlapping intervals sorted by their starting points. Two intervals ( [a, b] ) and ( [c, d] ) are considered overlapping if ( c \leq b ). You must output each merged interval as a pair of integers in ascending order of their start values.
For example, if the input intervals are:
( [1, 4] ) and ( [2, 5] ), then they overlap and should be merged into ( [1, 5] ).
This is a classical interval merging problem that requires you to sort the intervals first and then combine the overlapping ones.
inputFormat
The first line of input contains an integer ( n ), representing the number of intervals. Each of the following ( n ) lines contains two space-separated integers representing the start and end of an interval.
outputFormat
Output the merged intervals sorted by their starting point. Each line of output should contain two space-separated integers representing the start and end of the merged interval.## sample
