🌟 Additional Notes (if any):
Alternative approach
Sort the intervals by their start times to analyze when overlaps happen.
Track how many intervals overlap at any point:
Use the idea of "event points": Mark when each interval starts and ends.
Increase the count when an interval starts and decrease it when it ends.
Determine the maximum overlap at any point: The maximum number of overlapping intervals at the same time tells you the minimum number of groups needed.
