Minimum Number of Arrows to Burst Balloons

Medium🎙 Interview me on this

🧠 Before you code — what pattern fits?

Balloons are intervals [xstart, xend] on the x-axis. An arrow shot at x bursts every balloon with xstart ≤ x ≤ xend. Return the minimum number of arrows to burst all balloons.

[[10,16],[2,8],[1,6],[7,12]] → 2

[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]] → 3
