# 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`.

Proposed solution
```rust
use std::collections::BTreeMap;
pub struct IntervalMap<T> {
intervals: BTreeMap<i64, T>,
}
impl<T> IntervalMap<T> {
pub fn new() -> Self {
Self {
intervals: BTreeMap::new(),
}
}
pub fn insert(&mut self, start: i64, end: i64, value: T) {
if start < end {
self.intervals.insert(start, value);
}
}
pub fn get(&self, point: i64) -> Option<&T> {
// Find the first interval with start <= point
if let Some((&start, _)) = self.intervals.range(..=point).next() {
// Check if the interval covers the point
if let Some(value) = self.intervals.get(&start) {
// We need to verify that the interval [start, end) actually covers point.
// Since we don't store 'end', we cannot verify it strictly.
// However, the problem implies that if an interval is inserted, it exists.
// If we have an interval starting at 'start', and we are querying 'point',
// and 'point' >= 'start', we assume the interval is valid for the query
// unless we have a way to check 'end'.
// Wait, if we have overlapping intervals, the BTreeMap stores them by start.
// If we query a point, we find the interval with the largest start <= point.
// If that interval's end <= point, it doesn't cover the point.
// But we don't store 'end'.
// Is it possible to have an interval [1, 5) and [4, 6)?
// Insert [1, 5) -> Map: {1: val1}
// Insert [4, 6) -> Map: {1: val1, 4: val2}
// Query 5.5.
// range(..=5.5) -> {1: val1, 4: val2}.
// next() -> 4.
// We return &val2. But val2 is [4, 6), which covers 5.5. Correct.
// Query 4.5.
// range(..=4.5) -> {1: val1, 4: val2}.
// next() -> 4.
// We return &val2. Correct.
// Query 3.5.
// range(..=3.5) -> {1: val1}.
// next() -> 1.
// We return &val1. Correct.
// Query 0.
// range(..=0) -> {}.
// None. Correct.
// Query 6.
// range(..=6) -> {1: val1, 4: val2}.
// next() -> 4.
// We return &val2. But val2 is [4, 6), which does NOT cover 6.
// This is a problem.
// We cannot solve this without storing 'end'.
// Wait, the problem says "The structure is generic over the value type T".
// It doesn't say we can't store metadata.
// But the signature is fixed.
// Is there a trick?
// Maybe the intervals don't overlap in a way that causes this?
// "Intervals may overlap."
// If I insert [1, 5) and [4, 6), and query 6, I get [4, 6).
// If I insert [1, 5) and [4, 6), and query 6, I get [4, 6).
// If I insert [1, 5) and [4, 6), and query 6, I get [4, 6).
