The size of an interval is defined as * the number of integers it contains, or more formally righti - lefti + 1. * * You are also given an integer array queries. The answer to the j^th query is the size of the * smallest interval i such that lefti <= queries[j] <= righti. If no such interval exists, the answer * is -1. * * Return an array containing the answers to the queries. * * Example 1: * * Input: intervals = [[1,4],[2,4],[3,6],[4,4]], queries = [2,3,4,5] * Output: [3,3,1,4] * Explanation: The queries are processed as follows: * - Query = 2: The interval [2,4] is the smallest interval containing 2. The answer is 4 - 2 + 1 = 3. * - Query = 3: The interval [2,4] is the smallest interval containing 3. The answer is 4 - 2 + 1 = 3. * - Query = 4: The interval [4,4] is the smallest interval containing 4. The answer is 4 - 4 + 1 = 1. * - Query = 5: The interval [3,6] is the smallest interval containing 5. The answer is 6 - 3 + 1 = 4. * * Example 2: * * Input: intervals = [[2,3],[2,5],[1,8],[20,25]], queries = [2,19,5,22] * Output: [2,-1,4,6] * Explanation: The queries are processed as follows: * - Query = 2: The interval [2,3] is the smallest interval containing 2. The answer is 3 - 2 + 1 = 2. * - Query = 19: None of the intervals contain 19. The answer is -1. * - Query = 5: The interval [2,5] is the smallest interval containing 5. The answer is 5 - 2 + 1 = 4. * - Query = 22: The interval [20,25] is the smallest interval containing 22. The answer is 25 - 20 + * 1 = 6. * * Constraints: * * 1 <= intervals.length <= 10^5 * 1 <= queries.length <= 10^5 * queries[i].length == 2 * 1 <= lefti <= righti <= 10^7 * 1 <= queries[j] <= 10^7 ******************************************************************************************************/ class Solution { public: vector minInterval(vector>& intervals, vector& queries) { set> s; vector> iQueries; for(int i=0; i < queries.size(); i++) { iQueries.push_back({queries[i], i}); } sort(intervals.begin(), intervals.end()); sort(iQueries.begin(), iQueries.end()); vector result(queries.size(), -1); int i = 0, len = intervals.size(); for(auto& iq: iQueries) { int q = iq[0]; int idx = iq[1]; while( i < len && intervals[i][0] <= q) { s.insert({intervals[i][1] - intervals[i][0] + 1, intervals[i][1]}); i++; } while( !s.empty() ) { auto it = s.begin(); if ( (*it)[1] >= q ) break; s.erase(s.begin()); } if ( !s.empty() ) { auto it = s.begin(); result[idx] = (*it)[0]; } } return result; } };
