In this HackerRank Real Estate Broker problem solution You are a real estate broker in ancient Knossos. You have m unsold houses, and each house j has an area, xj, and a minimum price, yj. You also have n clients, and each client i want a house with an area greater than ai and a price less than or equal to pi.
Each client can buy at most one house, and each house can have at most one owner. What is the maximum number of houses you can sell?
