Problem Statement

Given an array of intervals representing ‘N’ appointments, find out if a person can attend all the appointments.

Example 1:

Appointments: [[1,4], [2,5], [7,9]]
Output: false
Explanation: Since [1,4] and [2,5] overlap, a person cannot attend both of these appointments.

Example 2:

Appointments: [[6,7], [2,4], [13, 14], [8,12], [45, 47]]
Output: true
Explanation: None of the appointments overlap, therefore a person can attend all of them.

Example 3:

Appointments: [[4,5], [2,3], [3,6]]
Output: false
Explanation: Since [4,5] and [3,6] overlap, a person cannot attend both of these appointments.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= intervals.length <= 10<sup>4</sup>
  • intervals[i].length == 2
  • 0 <= start<sub>i</sub> < end<sub>i</sub> <= 10<sup>6</sup>
