Interval List Intersections

Given two lists ofclosedintervals, each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.

Return the intersection of these two interval lists.

(Formally, a closed interval[a, b](witha <= b) denotes the set of real numbersxwitha <= x <= b. The intersection of two closed intervals is a set of real numbers that is either empty, or can be represented as a closed interval. For example, the intersection of [1, 3] and [2, 4] is [2, 3].)

Example 1:

Input: 
A = 
[[0,2],[5,10],[13,23],[24,25]]
, B = 
[[1,5],[8,12],[15,24],[25,26]]
Output: 
[[1,2],[5,5],[8,10],[15,23],[24,24],[25,25]]
Reminder: 
The inputs and the desired output are lists of Interval objects, and not arrays or lists.

Note:

0 <= A.length < 1000
0 <= B.length < 1000
0 <= A[i].start, A[i].end, B[i].start, B[i].end < 10^9

分析

two pointer

A,B各捡一段取maxhead和Mintail。不为空就是交集，加入res

然后哪个end小放弃那段，一样小一起放弃

class Solution:
    def intervalIntersection(self, A: List[List[int]], B: List[List[int]]) -> List[List[int]]:

        res = []
        a = b = 0
        while a<len(A) and b <len(B):
            tail = min(A[a][1], B[b][1])
            head = max(A[a][0], B[b][0])
            if head <= tail:
                res.append([head,tail]) #有交集就加入
            #哪个end小就放弃，一样的话一起放弃
            if A[a][1] == tail:
                a += 1
            if B[b][1] == tail:
                b += 1
        return res
