Non overlapping intervals

class Solution:
    def eraseOverlapIntervals(self, intervals: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        intervals.sort(
            key=lambda x: x[1]
        )
        res = 0
        currend = -math.inf
        for i in intervals:
            if currend <= i[0]:
                currend = i[1]
            else:
                res += 1
        return res

Non-overlapping Intervals

Difficulty: Medium


Given an array of intervals intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], return the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.

 

Example 1:

Input: intervals = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,3]]
Output: 1
Explanation: [1,3] can be removed and the rest of the intervals are non-overlapping.

Example 2:

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

Example 3:

Input: intervals = [[1,2],[2,3]]
Output: 0
Explanation: You don't need to remove any of the intervals since they're already non-overlapping.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= intervals.length <= 105
  • intervals[i].length == 2
  • -5 * 104 <= starti < endi <= 5 * 104
