Contained Interval in C++
Suppose we have a two-dimensional list of intervals where each interval has two values [start, end]. We have to find whether there's an interval which contains another interval.
So, if the input is like [[2,4],[5,11],[5,9],[10,10]], then the output will be true as [5,11] is containing [5,9].
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
sort the array v
Define one 2D array ret
for each interval it in v −
if ret is empty, then −
insert it at the end of ret
otherwise when last element of ret >= it[0], then −
return true
Otherwise
insert it at the end of ret
return false
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
class Solution {
public:
bool static cmp(vector<int> &a, vector<int> &b) {
return a[1] == b[1] ? a[0] > b[0] : a[1] < b[1];
}
bool solve(vector<vector<int>> &v) {
sort(v.begin(), v.end(), cmp);
vector<vector<int>> ret;
for (auto &it : v) {
if (ret.empty())
ret.push_back(it);
else if (ret.back()[0] >= it[0])
return true;
else
ret.push_back(it);
}
return false;
}
};
main() {
Solution ob;
vector<vector<int>> v = {{2,4},{5,11},{5,9},{10,10}};
cout << (ob.solve(v));
}Input
{{2,4},{5,11},{5,9},{10,10}}Output
