题目地址:https://leetcode.com/problems/non-overlapping-intervals/description/

题目描述:

Given a collection of intervals, find the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.

Note:

  1. You may assume the interval's end point is always bigger than its start point.
  2. Intervals like [1,2] and [2,3] have borders "touching" but they don't overlap each other.

Example 1:

Input: [ [1,2], [2,3], [3,4], [1,3] ]

Output: 1

Explanation: [1,3] can be removed and the rest of intervals are non-overlapping.

Example 2:

Input: [ [1,2], [1,2], [1,2] ]

Output: 2

Explanation: You need to remove two [1,2] to make the rest of intervals non-overlapping.

Example 3:

Input: [ [1,2], [2,3] ]

Output: 0

Explanation: You don't need to remove any of the intervals since they're already non-overlapping.

题目大意

给出了一些区间,求最少需要移除多少个区间才能保证所有的区间不重叠。如果两个区间的起始点与终点重复,不认为是重叠。

解题方法

看到区间最值题一般想到排序+贪心。这个题和452. Minimum Number of Arrows to Burst Balloonsopen in new window挺相似。

这个题的做法也不难,这么思考:我们尽量移除那些覆盖最广的区间。

先对所有区间的起点进行排序,然后进行遍历,如果新的区间起点比老的区间终点小的话,说明有重叠,需要移除区间,移除哪个区间呢?当然是终点最靠后的终点。

我们使用last指针指向上个保留下来的节点,如果intervals[i].end < intervals[last].end,则代表新的区间终点更靠前,所以使用第i个节点代表last,也就是说移除了上面的那个last。然后统计移除了多少次区间即可。

时间复杂度是O(nlogn + n),空间复杂度是O(1).

代码如下:

# Definition for an interval.
# class Interval(object):
#     def __init__(self, s=0, e=0):
#         self.start = s
#         self.end = e

class Solution(object):
    def eraseOverlapIntervals(self, intervals):
        """
        :type intervals: List[Interval]
        :rtype: int
        """
        if not intervals: return 0
        intervals.sort(key = lambda x : x.start)
        last = 0
        res = 0
        for i in range(1, len(intervals)):
            if intervals[last].end > intervals[i].start:
                if intervals[i].end < intervals[last].end:
                    last = i
                res += 1
            else:
                last = i
        return res
