2494. Merge Overlapping Events in the Same Hall πŸ”’

Description

Table: HallEvents

+-------------+------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+------+
| hall_id     | int  |
| start_day   | date |
| end_day     | date |
+-------------+------+
This table may contain duplicates rows.
Each row of this table indicates the start day and end day of an event and the hall in which the event is held.

 

Write a solution to merge all the overlapping events that are held in the same hall. Two events overlap if they have at least one day in common.

Return the result table in any order.

The result format is in the following example.

 

Example 1:

Input: 
HallEvents table:
+---------+------------+------------+
| hall_id | start_day  | end_day    |
+---------+------------+------------+
| 1       | 2023-01-13 | 2023-01-14 |
| 1       | 2023-01-14 | 2023-01-17 |
| 1       | 2023-01-18 | 2023-01-25 |
| 2       | 2022-12-09 | 2022-12-23 |
| 2       | 2022-12-13 | 2022-12-17 |
| 3       | 2022-12-01 | 2023-01-30 |
+---------+------------+------------+
Output: 
+---------+------------+------------+
| hall_id | start_day  | end_day    |
+---------+------------+------------+
| 1       | 2023-01-13 | 2023-01-17 |
| 1       | 2023-01-18 | 2023-01-25 |
| 2       | 2022-12-09 | 2022-12-23 |
| 3       | 2022-12-01 | 2023-01-30 |
+---------+------------+------------+
Explanation: There are three halls.
Hall 1:
- The two events ["2023-01-13", "2023-01-14"] and ["2023-01-14", "2023-01-17"] overlap. We merge them in one event ["2023-01-13", "2023-01-17"].
- The event ["2023-01-18", "2023-01-25"] does not overlap with any other event, so we leave it as it is.
Hall 2:
- The two events ["2022-12-09", "2022-12-23"] and ["2022-12-13", "2022-12-17"] overlap. We merge them in one event ["2022-12-09", "2022-12-23"].
Hall 3:
- The hall has only one event, so we return it. Note that we only consider the events of each hall separately.
