Algorithm Description

The Interval Scheduling algorithm is a classic greedy approach for selecting the maximum number of non-overlapping intervals (or activities) from a set of intervals.
The strategy is:

Sort all intervals by their finishing times.

Iteratively select the interval that finishes earliest and is compatible with the previously chosen intervals.

Continue until no more intervals can be chosen.

This greedy method is optimal for interval scheduling problems, as it guarantees the maximum number of compatible activities.
