There are some spherical balloons spread in two-dimensional space. For each balloon,
provided input is the start and end coordinates of the horizontal diameter.
Since it-s horizontal, y-coordinates don-t matter, and hence the x-coordinates of start
and end of the diameter suffice. The start is always smaller than the end.
An arrow can be shot up exactly vertically from different points along the x-axis.
A balloon with xstart and xend bursts by an arrow shot at x if xstart ≤ x ≤ xend.
There is no limit to the number of arrows that can be shot. An arrow once shot keeps traveling up infinitely.
Given an array points where points[i] = [xstart, xend],
return the minimum number of arrows that must be shot to burst all balloons.
Example 1:
Input: points = [[10,16],[2,8],[1,6],[7,12]]
Output: 2
Explanation: One way is to shoot one arrow for example at x = 6 (bursting the balloons [2,8] and [1,6]) and another arrow at x = 11 (bursting the other two balloons).
Example 2:
Input: points = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]
Output: 4
Example 3:
Input: points = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5]]
Output: 2
Example 4:
Input: points = [[1,2]]
Output: 1
Example 5:
Input: points = [[2,3],[2,3]]
Output: 1
