花花酱 LeetCode 1353. Maximum Number of Events That Can Be Attended

Given an array of events where events[i] = [startDayi, endDayi]. Every event i starts at startDayiand ends at endDayi.

You can attend an event i at any day d where startTimei <= d <= endTimei. Notice that you can only attend one event at any time d.

Return the maximum number of events you can attend.

Example 1:

Input: events = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4]]
Output: 3
Explanation: You can attend all the three events.
One way to attend them all is as shown.
Attend the first event on day 1.
Attend the second event on day 2.
Attend the third event on day 3.

Example 2:

Input: events= [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,2]]
Output: 4

Example 3:

Input: events = [[1,4],[4,4],[2,2],[3,4],[1,1]]
Output: 4

Example 4:

Input: events = [[1,100000]]
Output: 1

Example 5:

Input: events = [[1,1],[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[1,5],[1,6],[1,7]]
Output: 7

Constraints:

• 1 <= events.length <= 10^5
• events[i].length == 2
• 1 <= events[i][0] <= events[i][1] <= 10^5

Solution: Greedy

Sort events by end time, for each event find the first available day to attend.

Time complexity: O(sum(endtime – starttime)) = O(10^10)
Space complexity: O(max(endtime – starttime) = O(10^5)

We can use a TreeSet to maintain the open days and do a binary search to find the first available day.

Time complexity: O(nlogd)
Space complexity: O(d)
