Data Stream as Disjoint Intervals

Problem Statement

Given a data stream input of non-negative integers a1, a2, ..., an, summarize the numbers seen so far as a list of disjoint intervals.

Implement the SummaryRanges class:

  • SummaryRanges() Initializes the object with an empty stream.
  • void addNum(int value) Adds the integer value to the stream.
  • int[][] getIntervals() Returns a summary of the integers in the stream currently as a list of disjoint intervals [starti, endi]. The answer should be sorted by starti.

Example 1:

Input
["SummaryRanges", "addNum", "getIntervals", "addNum", "getIntervals", "addNum", "getIntervals", "addNum", "getIntervals", "addNum", "getIntervals"]
[[], [1], [], [3], [], [7], [], [2], [], [6], []]
Output
[null, null, [[1, 1]], null, [[1, 1], [3, 3]], null, [[1, 1], [3, 3], [7, 7]], null, [[1, 3], [7, 7]], null, [[1, 3], [6, 7]]]

Explanation
SummaryRanges summaryRanges = new SummaryRanges();
summaryRanges.addNum(1); // arr = [1]
summaryRanges.getIntervals(); // return [[1, 1]]
summaryRanges.addNum(3); // arr = [1, 3]
summaryRanges.getIntervals(); // return [[1, 1], [3, 3]]
summaryRanges.addNum(7); // arr = [1, 3, 7]
summaryRanges.getIntervals(); // return [[1, 1], [3, 3], [7, 7]]
summaryRanges.addNum(2); // arr = [1, 2, 3, 7]
summaryRanges.getIntervals(); // return [[1, 3], [7, 7]]
summaryRanges.addNum(6); // arr = [1, 2, 3, 6, 7]
summaryRanges.getIntervals(); // return [[1, 3], [6, 7]]
