2 * [452] Minimum Number of Arrows to Burst Balloons
3 *
4 * There are some spherical balloons taped onto a flat wall that represents the XY-plane. The balloons are represented as a 2D integer array points where points[i] = [xstart, xend] denotes a balloon whose horizontal diameter stretches between xstart and xend. You do not know the exact y-coordinates of the balloons.
5 * Arrows can be shot up directly vertically (in the positive y-direction) from different points along the x-axis. A balloon with xstart and xend is burst by an arrow shot at x if xstart <= x <= xend. There is no limit to the number of arrows that can be shot. A shot arrow keeps traveling up infinitely, bursting any balloons in its path.
6 * Given the array points, return the minimum number of arrows that must be shot to burst all balloons.
7 *  
8 * Example 1:
9 * 
10 * Input: points = [[10,16],[2,8],[1,6],[7,12]]
11 * Output: 2
12 * Explanation: The balloons can be burst by 2 arrows:
13 * - Shoot an arrow at x = 6, bursting the balloons [2,8] and [1,6].
14 * - Shoot an arrow at x = 11, bursting the balloons [10,16] and [7,12].
15 * 
16 * Example 2:
17 * 
18 * Input: points = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]
19 * Output: 4
20 * Explanation: One arrow needs to be shot for each balloon for a total of 4 arrows.
21 * 
22 * Example 3:
23 * 
24 * Input: points = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5]]
25 * Output: 2
26 * Explanation: The balloons can be burst by 2 arrows:
27 * - Shoot an arrow at x = 2, bursting the balloons [1,2] and [2,3].
28 * - Shoot an arrow at x = 4, bursting the balloons [3,4] and [4,5].
29 * 
30 *  
31 * Constraints:
32 * 
33 * 	1 <= points.length <= 10^5
34 * 	points[i].length == 2
35 * 	-2^31 <= xstart < xend <= 2^31 - 1
36 *
