Non-overlapping Intervals

Problem Statement

Given an array of intervals intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], return the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping. Note that intervals which only touch at a point are non-overlapping. For example, [1, 2] and [2, 3] are non-overlapping.

Examples

# Example 1

Input
intervals = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,3]]

1

# Example 2

Input
intervals = [[1,2],[1,2],[1,2]]
Output
2

# Example 3

Input
intervals = [[1,2],[2,3]]
Output
0

Constraints

1 <= intervals.length <= 10^5
intervals[i].length == 2
-5 * 10^4 <= start_i < end_i <= 5 * 10^4
