arraysorting

Problem Statement

Given an array intervals where intervals[i] = [l _i , r _i ] represent the interval [l _i , r _i ) , remove all intervals that are covered by another interval in the list.

The interval [a, b) is covered by the interval [c, d) if and only if c <= a and b <= d .

Return the number of remaining intervals .

Examples

Example 1
Input: intervals = [[1,4],[3,6],[2,8]]
Output: 2
Interval [3,6] is covered by [2,8], therefore it is removed.
Example 2
Input: intervals = [[1,4],[2,3]]
Output: 1

Constraints

1 <= intervals.length <= 1000
intervals[i].length == 2
0 <= l _i < r _i <= 10 ^5
All the given intervals are unique .
