Meeting Room Schedule

In an office, meeting rooms need to be scheduled without overlapping to maximize their utility. Given a list of meetings, each defined by a start and end time, your task is to generate all valid combinations of meeting schedules that can fit within one meeting room. Each meeting room can hold one meeting at a time, and meetings cannot overlap. Input Format: - The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 15), the number of meetings. - The next n lines each contain two integers, start_time and end_time, where 0 ≤ start_time < end_time ≤ 24. Output Format: - Print each valid schedule combination, one per line, showing the meetings by their indices. If no valid schedules exist, print 'No valid schedules exist.' Example: Input: 4 1 3 2 5 4 6 5 8 Output: [[0, 2], [0, 3]] [[1, 2]]
