Overlapping Time Ranges
You are given a list of time ranges, and each range is represented by two integers [start, end].
Your task is to identify how many pairs of time ranges overlap with each other.
A pair of ranges [a, b] and [c, d] overlap if max(a, c) < min(b, d).
Input format:
- The first line contains an integer n, the number of time ranges.
- The next n lines each contain two integers, start and end of each range.
Output format:
- Print the number of overlapping pairs of ranges.
Example:
Input:
4
1 5
2 6
8 10
3 9
Output:
3
