Insert an interval between an array of intervals


In this problem statement we have to insert a given interval between a given array of intervals. 

Insert Interval Leetcode

Approach:- Here we Insert the given interval in the array and then we use the same approach as we used in merge interval Leetcode question


 class Pair {

int x;

int y;
Pair(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}

class Solution {
public int[][] insert(int[][] intervals, int[] newInterval) {
ArrayList<Pair> p = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i=0;i<intervals.length;i++) {
p.add(new Pair(intervals[i][0], intervals[i][1]));
}
p.add(new Pair(newInterval[0], newInterval[1]));

Collections.sort(p, (Pair a, Pair b) -> {
return a.x - b.x;
});

Stack<Pair> st = new Stack<>();
st.push(p.get(0));
for(int i=1;i<p.size();i++) {
Pair pp = st.pop();
if(p.get(i).x > pp.y) {
st.push(pp);
st.push(p.get(i));
} else {
int sm = pp.x;
int gt = Math.max(pp.y, p.get(i).y);
st.push(new Pair(sm, gt));
}
}

int[][] ans = new int[st.size()][2];
int y = st.size() - 1;
while(st.size() > 0) {
Pair pp = st.pop();
ans[y][0] = pp.x;
ans[y][1] = pp.y;
y--;
}

return ans;
}
}
