Identifying the maximum overlap pattern
Some specific problems can be solved using the line sweep technique to find maximum overlapping intervals. These are generally easy or medium problems where we are given an array of intervals, and finding the maximum overlap partially or entirely solves the problem. If the problem statement or its solution follows the generic template below, it can be solved by applying the maximum overlapping intervals pattern.
Template:
Given an array of intervals, find the maximum overlap between them
Given an array of intervals, find the maximum overlap between them
