Many scheduling problems can be solved using greedy algorithms. A classic problem is as follows: Given n events with their starting and ending times, find a schedule that includes as many events as possible. It is not possible to select an event partially. For example, consider the following events: event A B C D A starting time ending time 3 5 9 8 In this case the maximum number of events is two. For example, we can select events B and D as follows: B 1 2 3 6 C D
