Maximum Length of Pair Chain
You are given an array of n pairs pairs where pairs[i] = [lefti, righti] and lefti < righti.
A pair p2 = [c, d] follows a pair p1 = [a, b] if b < c. A chain of pairs can be formed in this fashion.
Return the length of the longest chain which can be formed.
You do not need to use up all the given intervals. You can select pairs in any order.
Example 1
Input
pairs = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4]]Output
2The longest chain is [1,2] -> [3,4].
Example 2
Input
pairs = [[1,2],[7,8],[4,5]]Output
3The longest chain is [1,2] -> [4,5] -> [7,8].
Constraints
- n == pairs.length
- 1 <= n <= 1000
- -1000 <= lefti < righti <= 1000
