Input: intervals = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,3]]

Output: 1

Explanation: [1,3] overlaps with [1,2], [2,3], [3,4]. Remove [1,3] to obtain non-overlapping intervals.

Input: intervals = [[1,2],[1,2],[1,2]]

Output: 2

Explanation: You need to remove two [1,2] to make the rest of the intervals non-overlapping.

Input: intervals = [[1,2],[2,3]]

Output: 0

Explanation: You don't need to remove any of the intervals since they are already non-overlapping.

Input: intervals = [[1,100],[11,22],[1,11],[2,12]]

Output: 2

Explanation: Optimal solution involves removing [1,100] and either [1,11] or [2,12].

Input: intervals = []

Output: 0

Explanation: Empty input should return 0 as there are no intervals to remove.
