# Generic interval map

Implement the library file **`src/lib.rs`** exposing a generic structure that maps integer
intervals to values:

```rust
pub struct IntervalMap<T> { /* ... */ }

impl<T> IntervalMap<T> {
    pub fn new() -> Self;
    pub fn insert(&mut self, start: i64, end: i64, value: T);
    pub fn get(&self, point: i64) -> Option<&T>;
    pub fn get_all(&self, point: i64) -> Vec<&T>;
}
```

Intervals are **half-open**: `[start, end)` covers every `p` with `start <= p < end`.

- **`insert(start, end, value)`** records that the half-open interval `[start, end)` maps to
  `value`. If `start >= end` the range is empty and the call is a **no-op**. Intervals may overlap.
- **`get(point)`** returns the value of the **most recently inserted** interval that covers `point`,
  or `None` if no interval covers it. (Newest insert wins on overlap.)
- **`get_all(point)`** returns references to the values of **all** intervals covering `point`,
  ordered **most-recently-inserted first**. Empty `Vec` if none cover it.

The structure is generic over the value type `T` (no trait bounds required). Values are owned by the
map; `get`/`get_all` return borrows.

Tests live in `tests/` and use `challenge::IntervalMap`.

    let mut m = IntervalMap::new();
    m.insert(0, 10, "a");

    assert_eq!(m.get(0), Some(&"a")); // start is inclusive

Proposed solution
Looking at the requirements, I need to implement a generic interval map that:
1. Stores intervals as half-open ranges `[start, end)`
2. Handles overlapping intervals (newest insert wins for `get`)
3. Returns all covering intervals in reverse insertion order for `get_all`

Here's my implementation:

```rust
#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct IntervalMap<T> {
    intervals: Vec<(i64, i64, T)>,
}

impl<T> IntervalMap<T> {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        IntervalMap {
            intervals: Vec::new(),
        }
    }

    pub fn insert(&mut self, start: i64, end: i64, value: T) {
        // Only insert if the interval is valid (start < end)
        if start < end {
            self.intervals.push((start, end, value));
        }
    }

    pub fn get(&self, point: i64) -> Option<&T> {
        // Iterate in reverse order to find the most recently inserted interval
        for i in (0..self.intervals.len()).rev() {
            let (start, end, _) = &self.intervals[i];
            if *start <= point && point < *end {
                return Some(&self.intervals[i].2);
            }
        }
        None
    }

    pub fn get_all(&self, point: i64) -> Vec<&T> {
        let mut result = Vec::new();
        
        // Iterate in reverse order to get most-recently-inserted first
        for i in (0..self.intervals.len()).rev() {
            let (start, end, _) = &self.intervals[i];
            if *start <= point && point < *end {
                result.push(&self.intervals[i].2);
            }
        }
        
        result
    }
}

impl<T> Default for IntervalMap<T> {
    fn default() -> Self {
        Self::new()
    }
}
```

The implementation:
- Uses a `Vec` to store intervals as tuples `(start, end, value)`
- `insert` only adds valid intervals (where `start < end`)
- `get` iterates in reverse to find the most recent interval covering the point
- `get_all` collects all covering intervals in reverse insertion order (most recent first)
- Implements `Default` for convenience
