Insert Interval

Given a set of non-overlapping intervals, insert a new interval into the intervals (merge if necessary).
You may assume that the intervals were initially sorted according to their start times.
Example 1:
Given intervals [1,3],[6,9], insert and merge [2,5] in as [1,5],[6,9].
Example 2:
Given [1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,10],[12,16], insert and merge [4,9] in as [1,2],[3,10],[12,16].
This is because the new interval [4,9] overlaps with [3,5],[6,7],[8,10].

Solution: For example 2:
1. compare [1,2] with [4,9], then insert [1,2];
2. merge [3,5] with [4,9], get newInterval = [3,9];
3. merge [6,7] with [3,9], get newInterval = [3,9];
4. merge [8,10] with [3,9], get newInterval = [3,10];
5. compare [12,16] with [3,10], insert newInterval [3,10], then all the remaining intervals...
