Remove Covered Intervals

Given an array intervals where intervals[i] = [li, ri] represents the interval [li, ri), 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.

Example 1
1-----4
    3-----6
  2-----------8
Inputintervals = [[1,4],[3,6],[2,8]]
Output2
Interval [3,6] is covered by [2,8], therefore it is removed.
Example 2
1-----4
  2-3
Inputintervals = [[1,4],[2,3]]
Output1
Interval [2,3] is covered by [1,4], so only one interval remains.

Constraints

  • 1 <= intervals.length <= 1000
  • intervals[i].length == 2
  • 0 <= li < ri <= 10^5
  • All the given intervals are unique.
