Leetcode Non-overlapping intervals problem solution

YASH PAL,

In this Leetcode Non-overlapping intervals problem solution we have Given an array of intervals intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], return the minimum number of intervals you need to remove to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.
