Looking ahead

You have learned the major interval patterns:

1.1. Merge overlapping intervals (sort by start)

2.2. Insert and merge (three-phase approach)

3.3. Find intersections (two-pointer)

4.4. Remove covered intervals (sort and track max)

5.5. Cover a range (greedy extension) In the next section, I will show you greedy problems on arrays: jump games, gas station, and more. If you learn these patterns, you will recognize interval problems instantly in interviews.
