[LeetCode] Insert Interval

Given a set of non-overlapping intervals, insert a new interval into the intervals (merge if necessary).

You may assume that the intervals were initially sorted according to their start times.

Example 1:

Given intervals

[1,3],[6,9]

, insert and merge

[2,5]

in
as

[1,5],[6,9]

.

Example 2:

Given

[1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,10],[12,16]

, insert and merge

[4,9]

in
as

[1,2],[3,10],[12,16]

.

This is because the new interval

[4,9]

overlaps with

[3,5],[6,7],[8,10]

.
