| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Description |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +<!-- description:start --> |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +<p>Given an array of intervals <code>intervals</code> where <code>intervals[i] = [start<sub>i</sub>, end<sub>i</sub>]</code>, return <em>the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping</em>.</p> |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +<p><strong>Note</strong> that intervals which only touch at a point are <strong>non-overlapping</strong>. For example, <code>[1, 2]</code> and <code>[2, 3]</code> are non-overlapping.</p> |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +<p> </p> |
| 25 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +<pre> |
| 28 | +<strong>Input:</strong> intervals = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,3]] |
| 29 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 1 |
| 30 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> [1,3] can be removed and the rest of the intervals are non-overlapping. |
| 31 | +</pre> |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p> |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +<pre> |
| 36 | +<strong>Input:</strong> intervals = [[1,2],[1,2],[1,2]] |
| 37 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 2 |
| 38 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> You need to remove two [1,2] to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping. |
| 39 | +</pre> |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p> |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +<pre> |
| 44 | +<strong>Input:</strong> intervals = [[1,2],[2,3]] |
| 45 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 0 |
| 46 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> You don't need to remove any of the intervals since they're already non-overlapping. |

| 62 | +<!-- solution:start --> |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +### Solution 1: Sorting + Greedy |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +We first sort the intervals in ascending order by their right boundary. We use a variable $\textit{pre}$ to record the right boundary of the previous interval and a variable $\textit{ans}$ to record the number of intervals that need to be removed. Initially, $\textit{ans} = \textit{intervals.length}$. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Then we iterate through the intervals. For each interval: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- If the left boundary of the current interval is greater than or equal to $\textit{pre}$, it means that this interval does not need to be removed. We directly update $\textit{pre}$ to the right boundary of the current interval and decrement $\textit{ans}$ by one; |
| 71 | +- Otherwise, it means that this interval needs to be removed, and we do not need to update $\textit{pre}$ and $\textit{ans}$. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Finally, we return $\textit{ans}$. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +The time complexity is $O(n \times \log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(\log n)$, where $n$ is the number of intervals. |

| 79 | +#### Python3 |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +```python |
| 82 | +class Solution: |
| 83 | + def eraseOverlapIntervals(self, intervals: List[List[int]]) -> int: |
| 84 | + intervals.sort(key=lambda x: x[1]) |
| 85 | + ans = len(intervals) |
| 86 | + pre = -inf |
| 87 | + for l, r in intervals: |
| 88 | + if pre <= l: |
| 89 | + ans -= 1 |
| 90 | + pre = r |
| 91 | + return ans |
| 92 | +``` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +#### Java |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +```java |
| 97 | +class Solution { |
| 98 | + public int eraseOverlapIntervals(int[][] intervals) { |
| 99 | + Arrays.sort(intervals, (a, b) -> a[1] - b[1]); |
| 100 | + int ans = intervals.length; |
| 101 | + int pre = Integer.MIN_VALUE; |
| 102 | + for (var e : intervals) { |
| 103 | + int l = e[0], r = e[1]; |
| 104 | + if (pre <= l) { |
| 105 | + --ans; |
| 106 | + pre = r; |
| 107 | + } |
| 108 | + } |
| 109 | + return ans; |
| 110 | + } |
| 111 | +} |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +#### C++ |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +```cpp |
| 117 | +class Solution { |
| 118 | +public: |
| 119 | + int eraseOverlapIntervals(vector<vector<int>>& intervals) { |
| 120 | + ranges::sort(intervals, [](const vector<int>& a, const vector<int>& b) { |
| 121 | + return a[1] < b[1]; |
| 122 | + }); |
| 123 | + int ans = intervals.size(); |
| 124 | + int pre = INT_MIN; |
| 125 | + for (const auto& e : intervals) { |
| 126 | + int l = e[0], r = e[1]; |
| 127 | + if (pre <= l) { |
| 128 | + --ans; |
| 129 | + pre = r; |
| 130 | + } |
| 131 | + } |
| 132 | + return ans; |
| 133 | + } |
| 134 | +}; |
