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]
.
