<prompt> Kwa mfano, kama input ni 1,3,2,6,8,10,15,18, pato lazima kuwa 1,6,8,10,15,18.  <response>: To solve this problem, we can sort the intervals based on their starting points. Then, we can iterate through the sorted intervals and check if the current interval overlaps with the next interval. If it does, we merge them into a single interval. Otherwise, we add the current interval to the merged intervals list.Heres the Python code to implement this approach:def merge_intervalsintervals: intervals sortedintervals sort by starting point merged intervals0 for interval in intervals1:: if interval0 merged-11: if current interval overlaps with previous merged-11 maxmerged-11, interval1 merge them else: merged.appendinterval add current interval to merged list return merged
