Interval Scheduling
Interval Scheduling is a problem in computer science and operations research that involves selecting a maximum number of non-overlapping intervals from a set of intervals. Each interval is defined by a start time and an end time, and the goal is to choose intervals such that no two intervals overlap in time.
This problem is commonly solved using a greedy algorithm, which sorts the intervals by their end times and iteratively selects the next interval that starts after the last selected interval ends. This approach ensures an optimal solution, maximizing the number of intervals that can be scheduled without conflicts.
