    Default Overlapping multiple periods

    Hi!

    I have a problem writing a code that will give me needed results.
    Here is my problem. I would appriciate any help.

    I have these three periods:
    - 1.1.2010 - 31.10.2010
    - 1.2.2010 - 31.5.2010
    - 1.3.2010 - 31.12.2010

    Graphicaly it looks like this:
         |------------|
                  |-------------------|
    |---------------------|

    In result i would like to have sections defined by dates and a number of overlapping periods like this:
    1.1.2010 - 31.1.2010 (1)
    1.2.2010 - 28.2.2010 (2)
    1.3.2010 - 31.5.2010 (3)
    1.6.2010 - 31.10.2010 (2)
    1.11.2010 - 31.12.2010 (1)

    Number in brackets means number of overlapping periods.
    I'm getting a headache solving this problem.
    Please help!

    Default Re: Overlapping multiple periods

    I'm not quite clear at what the goal is, but perhaps something like a Segment Tree data structure might help?
