Merge Intervals
Practice this coding question on Coding Gurukul.
Problem statement
A studio receives room reservations as closed time intervals. Merge reservations that overlap or touch at an endpoint. Return the resulting disjoint intervals in increasing start-time order.
Input format
First line: n. Next n lines: start end.
Output format
Print the number of merged intervals, then one start end pair per line, sorted by start.
Constraints
1 <= n <= 100000; 0 <= start <= end <= 1000000000.
Sample input
4 5 8 1 3 3 6 10 12
Sample output
2 1 8 10 12
