#P3190. Stall Reservations
Stall Reservations
Description
Oh those picky N (1 <= N <= 50,000) cows! They are so picky that each one will only be milked over some precise time interval A..B (1 <= A <= B <= 1,000,000), which includes both times A and B. Obviously, FJ must create a reservation system to determine which stall each cow can be assigned for her milking time. Of course, no cow will share such a private moment with other cows.
Help FJ by determining:
- The minimum number of stalls required in the barn so that each cow can have her private milking period
- An assignment of cows to these stalls over time
Input
Line 1: A single integer, N
Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 describes cow i's milking interval with two space-separated integers.
Output
Line 1: The minimum number of stalls the barn must have.
Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 describes the stall to which cow i will be assigned for her milking period.
