Day 11 Problem
Intervals is my own personal nightmare

Hello and welcome back brave human being,
Before we dive deep into the problem, I want to remind you: that these interviews are not easy.
They take deliberate practice and dedication, I spent my whole undergrad studying LeetCode and felt completely overwhelmed.
My intention with these emails is to make these problems digestible and show you that with the right insights a Medium problem becomes Easier 😉 .
This is your reminder to not quit.
Day 11: 57. Insert Interval
You have a sorted list of non-overlapping intervals, each defined by a start and end point. Now, you're given a new interval. Your task is to insert this new interval into the existing list while keeping it sorted.
Let's set an example…
Input: intervals = [[1,3],[6,9]], newInterval = [2,5]
Output: [[1,5],[6,9]]
Remember the array is already sorted!
Need help remembering how to merge intervals? -
Remember: One LeetCode problem a day keeps unemployment away!
Cheers to your success,
Denisse
