56. Merge Intervals

Medium

Given an array of intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], merge all overlapping intervals, and return an array of the non-overlapping intervals that cover all the intervals in the input.

Example 1:

Input: intervals = [[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18]]

Output: [[1,6],[8,10],[15,18]]

Explanation: Since intervals [1,3] and [2,6] overlaps, merge them into [1,6].

Example 2:

Input: intervals = [[1,4],[4,5]]

Output: [[1,5]]

Explanation: Intervals [1,4] and [4,5] are considered overlapping.

    public function merge($intervals) {
        array_multisort($intervals);
        $res = [$intervals[0]];
        $k = 0;

            $start = $intervals[$i][0];
            $end = $intervals[$i][1];
            $last_interv = end($res);
            if ($start <= $last_interv[1]) {
                $res[$k] = [$last_interv[0], max($end, $last_interv[1])];
            } else {
                $res[] = $intervals[$i];
                $k++;
            }
        }
        return $res;
