Solves the Activity Selection Problem using a greedy algorithm by selecting
the maximum number of non-overlapping activities from a list of activities.

Parameters:
activities (list[tuple[int, int]]): A list of tuples where each tuple contains

"""
The Activity Selection Problem is a classic problem in which a set of activities,
each with a start and end time, needs to be scheduled in such a way that
the maximum number of non-overlapping activities is selected.
This is a greedy algorithm where at each step,
we choose the activity that finishes the earliest
and does not conflict with previously selected activities.
