Body
I came across an interview question: "Given life times of different elephants. Find the period when maximum number of elephants were alive." For example: Input: <code>[5, 10]</code>, <code>[6, 15]</code>, <code>[2, 7]</code> Output: <code>[6,7]</code> (3 elephants) I wonder if this problem can be related to the Longest substring problem for 'n' number of strings, such that each string represents the continuous range of a time period. For e.g: <code>[5,10] <=> 5 6 7 8 9 10</code> If not, what can be a good solution to this problem ? I want to code it in C++. Any help will be appreciated.

1. COHere's a hint: draw the real number line, and mark above it the "life lines" of the elephants. Notice that you only care which points open an inteval, which close an interval, and their order.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
