Activity Selection vs Meeting Rooms

Different questions

These problems look similar but ask different things:

Problem	Goal	Approach
Activity Selection	Max non-overlapping	Sort by end, greedily select
Meeting Rooms I	Any overlap?	Sort by start, check adjacent
Meeting Rooms II	Min rooms for all	Count max simultaneous

Recognize which question is being asked. The algorithm changes based on the goal. Mixing them up is a common interview mistake.
