Insert Interval

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].

思路:

分3种情况讨论:

首先,如果插入的元素的start一直大于上一个的结束end,那么说明还没找到要插入的位置;

如果找到要插入的位置,即有start小于end。如果要插入的元素的end也小于找到要插入点的start,说明没有交集,直接将元素插入,设置标志位用来控制该新插入的元素只插入一次。

否则,如果插入的元素与后一个区间有交集,则将新插入的元素与后一个区间合并成新的要插入的元素,继续重复上面的过程。记得要判断flag看要插入的元素是否插入了。

C++实现代码:

#include<iostream>#include<vector>#include<algorithm>using namespace std;struct Interval{    int start;    int end;    Interval():start(0),end(0) {}    Interval(int s,int e):start(s),end(e) {}};class Solution{public:    vector<Interval> insert(vector<Interval> &intervals, Interval newInterval)    {        vector<Interval> ret;        if(intervals.empty())        {            ret.push_back(newInterval);            return ret;        }        int flag=0;        int i;        for(i=0; i<(int)intervals.size(); i++)        {            if(newInterval.start>intervals[i].end)            {                ret.push_back(intervals[i]);            }            else if(newInterval.end<intervals[i].start)            {                if(flag==1)                    ret.push_back(intervals[i]);                else                {                    flag=1;                    ret.push_back(newInterval);                    ret.push_back(intervals[i]);                }            }            else            {                newInterval.start=min(newInterval.start,intervals[i].start);                newInterval.end=max(newInterval.end,intervals[i].end);            }        }        if(flag==0)            ret.push_back(newInterval);        return ret;    }};int main(){    Solution s;    Interval a1(1,2);    Interval a2(3,5);    Interval a3(6,7);    Interval a4(8,10);    Interval a5(12,16);    vector<Interval> intervals= {a1,a2,a3,a4,a5};    Interval newInternal= {0,0};    vector<Interval> result=s.insert(intervals,newInternal);    for(auto a:result)        cout<<"[ "<<a.start<<" , "<<a.end<<" ]"<<endl;}

运行结果:
