<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-arrows-to-burst-balloons/">452. Minimum Number of Arrows to Burst Balloons</a></h2><h3>Medium</h3><hr><div><p>There are some spherical balloons taped onto a flat wall that represents the XY-plane. The balloons are represented as a 2D integer array <code>points</code> where <code>points[i] = [x<sub>start</sub>, x<sub>end</sub>]</code> denotes a balloon whose <strong>horizontal diameter</strong> stretches between <code>x<sub>start</sub></code> and <code>x<sub>end</sub></code>. You do not know the exact y-coordinates of the balloons.</p>

<p>Arrows can be shot up <strong>directly vertically</strong> (in the positive y-direction) from different points along the x-axis. A balloon with <code>x<sub>start</sub></code> and <code>x<sub>end</sub></code> is <strong>burst</strong> by an arrow shot at <code>x</code> if <code>x<sub>start</sub> &lt;= x &lt;= x<sub>end</sub></code>. There is <strong>no limit</strong> to the number of arrows that can be shot. A shot arrow keeps traveling up infinitely, bursting any balloons in its path.</p>

<p>Given the array <code>points</code>, return <em>the <strong>minimum</strong> number of arrows that must be shot to burst all balloons</em>.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> points = [[10,16],[2,8],[1,6],[7,12]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The balloons can be burst by 2 arrows:
- Shoot an arrow at x = 6, bursting the balloons [2,8] and [1,6].
- Shoot an arrow at x = 11, bursting the balloons [10,16] and [7,12].
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> points = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
<strong>Explanation:</strong> One arrow needs to be shot for each balloon for a total of 4 arrows.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> points = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The balloons can be burst by 2 arrows:
- Shoot an arrow at x = 2, bursting the balloons [1,2] and [2,3].
- Shoot an arrow at x = 4, bursting the balloons [3,4] and [4,5].
