There is a long and thin painting that can be represented by a number line. You are given a 0-indexed 2D integer array paint of length n, where paint[i] = [starti, endi]. This means that on the ith day you need to paint the area betweenstarti and endi.
Painting the same area multiple times will create an uneven painting so you only want to paint each area of the painting at most once.
Return an integer array worklog of length n, where worklog[i] is the amount of new area that you painted on the ith day.
Example 1:
Input: paint = [[1,4],[4,7],[5,8]]
Output: [3,3,1]
Explanation:
On day 0, paint everything between 1 and 4.
The amount of new area painted on day 0 is 4 - 1 = 3.
On day 1, paint everything between 4 and 7.
The amount of new area painted on day 1 is 7 - 4 = 3.
On day 2, paint everything between 7 and 8.
Everything between 5 and 7 was already painted on day 1.
The amount of new area painted on day 2 is 8 - 7 = 1.
Example 2:
Input: paint = [[1,4],[5,8],[4,7]]
Output: [3,3,1]
Explanation:
On day 0, paint everything between 1 and 4.
The amount of new area painted on day 0 is 4 - 1 = 3.
On day 1, paint everything between 5 and 8.
The amount of new area painted on day 1 is 8 - 5 = 3.
On day 2, paint everything between 4 and 5.
Everything between 5 and 7 was already painted on day 1.
The amount of new area painted on day 2 is 5 - 4 = 1.
Example 3:
Input: paint = [[1,5],[2,4]]
Output: [4,0]
Explanation:
On day 0, paint everything between 1 and 5.
The amount of new area painted on day 0 is 5 - 1 = 4.
On day 1, paint nothing because everything between 2 and 4 was already painted on day 0.
The amount of new area painted on day 1 is 0.
Constraints:
1 <= paint.length <= 105
paint[i].length == 2
0 <= starti < endi <= 5 * 104

Thinking
Each day paints an interval; we need the newly painted length. Endpoints and days both reach \(10^5\), so painting cell by cell is quadratic. We need range coverage and a covered-length query.
A segment tree stores how many cells in a range are painted, with a lazy βpaint allβ tag. The dayβs answer is the interval length minus the queried covered count, after which the interval is marked painted.
Shift coordinates to start at \(1\), and \(\texttt{query}\) then \(\texttt{modify}\) for each day.
