Event Scheduling

You are given a list of events, where each event is defined by its start and end times. Your task is to consolidate overlapping events into a single event that spans the earliest start time to the latest end time of the overlapping events. The input format consists of two lines: the first line contains the integer n (the number of events), and the second line contains n pairs of integers representing the start and end times of each event. Output the consolidated list of events as pairs of start and end times. Each pair should be printed on a new line. Example: Input: 5 1 3 2 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 Output: 1 4 5 8 9 10
