📌 Problem Overview
Section titled “📌 Problem Overview”Given an array of meeting time intervals [[start, end]], determine if a person could attend all meetings.
Examples & Constraints
Section titled “Examples & Constraints”Example 1:
- Input:
intervals = [[0,30],[5,10],[15,20]] - Output:
false
Example 2:
- Input:
intervals = [[7,10],[2,4]] - Output:
true
Constraints:
0 <= intervals.length <= 10^4
💡 Approach & Intuition
Section titled “💡 Approach & Intuition”Sort by start time, check if intervals[i][0] < intervals[i-1][1].

- Iterate & Evaluate: Process the input according to the boundary conditions.
- Update & Return: Compute the optimal answer and return early or at termination.
