Merge Overlapping Sessions | Dataford Interview Questions

Implement a function to merge overlapping learning sessions given their start and end times.

Use def merge_learning_sessions(sessions):, where sessions is a list of [start, end] pairs. Return a new list of merged intervals sorted by start time. Sessions that overlap or touch, such as [1, 3] and [3, 5], must be merged. An empty input returns an empty list.

Constraints

0 <= len(sessions) <= 1000
Each session contains exactly two integers, start and end
start <= end for every session
-10^9 <= start, end <= 10^9
The returned intervals must be sorted by start time

Function Signature

def merge_learning_sessions(sessions):
