Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a set of intervals, write the algorithm in pseudocode to solve the scheduling problem using the greedy approach.

💡 Hint: Consider which intervals to filter out at each step.

Challenge 2 Hard

If there are n intervals, analyze the steps your algorithm takes through a worst-case scenario. What is the implication of this for its complexity?

💡 Hint: Think about how many times you’d check for overlaps in strict conflict scenarios.
