Problem
Given an array of intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], merge all overlapping intervals, and return an array of the non-overlapping intervals that cover all the intervals in the input.
Examples
Explanation: Since intervals [1,3] and [2,6] overlap, merge them into [1,6].
Explanation: Intervals [1,4] and [4,5] are considered overlapping.
Explanation: Intervals [1,4] and [4,7] are considered overlapping.
Constraints
1 <= intervals.length <= 10^4
intervals[i].length == 2
0 <= starti <= endi <= 10^4
