# 1272. Remove Interval



T: O(n)

S: O(n)

```java
class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> removeInterval(int[][] intervals, int[] toBeRemoved) {
        List<List<Integer>> res = new ArrayList<>();
        
        for (int[] interval : intervals) {
            // no overlap
            if (toBeRemoved[0] > interval[1] || interval[0] > toBeRemoved[1]) { 
                res.add(Arrays.asList(interval[0], interval[1]));
            } else {
                // overlap case  will auto be => toBeRemoved[0] < interval[1] && interval[0] < toBeRemoved[1]
                if (toBeRemoved[0] >  interval[0]) { // toBeRemoved[0] < interval[1], so it only needs compare left start
                    res.add(Arrays.asList(interval[0], toBeRemoved[0])); // left non overlap 
                }
                if (interval[1] > toBeRemoved[1]) { // interval[0] < toBeRemoved[1], so it only needs compare right end
                    res.add(Arrays.asList(toBeRemoved[1], interval[1])); // right non overlap 
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
}

/*

for each intervals to compare with toBeRemoved

remain the non-overlaping part, add to res

a is interval
if b is toBeRemoved

3. these two also work in 2.
   a 
|     |        =>  [a.start, b.start)
    |   b  |
    
        a
     |    |    =>  [b.end, a.end)
|   b   |


2. 
so this is why two if, we can remove b into 2 parts
   a
|         |    =>  [a.start,b.start), [b.end, a.end)  => can treat by case 1, 2 seperaly
   |  b |


     a
   |   |
 |     b   |   => [] => no handle

 1.  
 first exclue no-overlapping case, so directly add |a|
 | a |
        |.b |  => [a]
        
          | a |
    |.b |       => [a]
