Question

How to create an efficient java code using Greedy algorithm to solve the problem?

Covering Segments by Points Problem: We are given a sequence of n intervals
[₁,₁],... [ln, n] on x-axis. Find a set of points of minimum size such that
each segment [li, ri] contains a point, i.e., there exists a point x from this set
such that l¡ ≤ x ≤ r¡, for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n. In other words, find the minimum
number of points on x-axis needed to cover all given intervals.
