Points within an interval
Question
Suppose you are given P
, which is list of j
integer intervals, where j
is the number of intervals. The intervals are in a format [a, b]
.
Given an integer z
, can you return the number of overlapping intervals for point z
?
For example:
#Input:
P = [[0, 2], [3, 7], [4, 6], [7, 8], [1 ,5]]
z = 5
#Output:
# 3
# At z = 5, there are 3 intervals that overlap. The intervals are: [3, 7], [4, 6], and [1, 5]
