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: []

Solution

class Solution {
    fun intervalIntersection(firstList: Array<IntArray>, secondList: Array<IntArray>): Array<IntArray> {
        val list = ArrayList<IntArray>()
        var i = 0
        var j = 0
        while (i < firstList.size && j < secondList.size) {
            val start = firstList[i][0].coerceAtLeast(secondList[j][0])
            val end = firstList[i][1].coerceAtMost(secondList[j][1])
            if (start <= end) {
                list.add(intArrayOf(start, end))
            }
            if (firstList[i][1] > end) {
                j++
            } else {
                i++
            }
        }
        return list.toTypedArray()
    }
