Problem
You are implementing a program to use as your calendar. We can add a new event if adding the event will not cause a triple booking.
A triple booking happens when three events have some non-empty intersection (i.e., some moment is common to all the three events.).
The event can be represented as a pair of integers startTime and endTime that represents a booking on the half-open interval [startTime, endTime), the range of real numbers x such that startTime <= x < endTime.
Implement the MyCalendarTwo class:
MyCalendarTwo() Initializes the calendar object.
boolean book(int startTime, int endTime) Returns true if the event can be added to the calendar successfully without causing a triple booking. Otherwise, return false and do not add the event to the calendar.
Examples
Constraints
- 0 <= start < end <= 10^9
- At most 1000 calls will be made to book.
