{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "1222", "questionFrontendId": "1288", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Remove Covered Intervals", "titleSlug": "remove-covered-intervals", "content": "

Given an array intervals where intervals[i] = [li, ri] represent the interval [li, ri), remove all intervals that are covered by another interval in the list.

\n\n

The interval [a, b) is covered by the interval [c, d) if and only if c <= a and b <= d.

\n\n

Return the number of remaining intervals.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: intervals = [[1,4],[3,6],[2,8]]\nOutput: 2\nExplanation: Interval [3,6] is covered by [2,8], therefore it is removed.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: intervals = [[1,4],[2,3]]\nOutput: 1\n
