                                    <p>my idea is as follows :</p>

<p>merge_intervals([(1, 4), (2, 6), (8, 10), (12, 19)])</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>=&gt; [(1,2,3,4),(2,3,4,5,6),(8,9,10),(12,13,14,....,19)] #using range</p>
  
  <p>=&gt; [1,2,3,4 , 2,3,4,5,6 , 8,9,10 , 12,13,...,19] #using slice</p>
  
  <p>=&gt; [1,2,3,4,5,6, 8,9,10 ,12,13,14,...19] #using set</p>
  
  <p>=&gt; [(1, 6), (8, 10), (12, 19)] #...</p>
</blockquote>

                                    <p>我看不懂你的思路，解释解释？顺便给你个顶吧</p>

                                    <p>Your idea is right and easier to understand.
I set "start" and "end" to record the range . If the current range contains next range,go on. If they are adjacent or across ,“end” will change. </p>

                                    <p>fail on merge_intervals([(5,7),(4,8)]) </p>

<p>your answer is [(5, 8)]</p>

<p>right answer is [(4, 8)]</p>

                                    <p>oh, I ignore that precondition</p>

<p>intervals == sorted(intervals, key=lambda x: x[0]) # sorted by 1st element of the tuples
interval[0] &lt;= interval[1]</p>

<p>You are lucky.</p>
