986. Interval List Intersections

Medium

You are given two lists of closed intervals, firstList and secondList, where firstList[i] = [starti, endi] and secondList[j] = [startj, endj]. Each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.

Return the intersection of these two interval lists.

A closed interval [a, b] (with a <= b) denotes the set of real numbers x with a <= x <= b.

The intersection of two closed intervals is a set of real numbers that are either empty or represented as a closed interval. For example, the intersection of [1, 3] and [2, 4] is [2, 3].

Example 1:

Input: firstList = [[0,2],[5,10],[13,23],[24,25]], secondList = [[1,5],[8,12],[15,24],[25,26]]

Output: [[1,2],[5,5],[8,10],[15,23],[24,24],[25,25]]

Example 2:

Input: firstList = [[1,3],[5,9]], secondList = []

Output: []

Constraints:

• 0 <= firstList.length, secondList.length <= 1000
• firstList.length + secondList.length >= 1
• 0 <= starti < endi <= 109
• endi < starti+1
• 0 <= startj < endj <= 109
• endj < startj+1

Solution

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Solution {
    public int[][] intervalIntersection(int[][] firstList, int[][] secondList) {
        ArrayList<int[]> list = new ArrayList<>();
        int i = 0;
        int j = 0;
        while (i < firstList.length && j < secondList.length) {
            int start = Math.max(firstList[i][0], secondList[j][0]);
            int end = Math.min(firstList[i][1], secondList[j][1]);
            if (start <= end) {
                list.add(new int[] {start, end});
            }
            if (firstList[i][1] > end) {
                j++;
            } else {
                i++;
            }
        }
        return list.toArray(new int[0][]);
    }
}
