Program to find in which interval how many tasks are worked on in Python
Suppose we have a list of intervals where each interval is like [start, end) and we also have a list of strings called types. Now for a given i, the intervals[i] shows the times someone worked on the job types[i] from [start, end). Two intervals of the same type never overlap or touch. So we have to find a sorted merged list where each item has [start, end, num_types], indicates from start to end, num_types number of tasks were being worked on.
So, if the input is like intervals = [ [0, 3], [5, 7], [0, 7] ] types = ["problem solving", "news","game play"], then the output will be [[0, 3, 2], [3, 5, 1],[5, 7, 2]], as we have these few types of work being done: Between [0, 3) "problem solving" and "game play", between [3, 5) "game play", and between [5, 7) "news" and "game play".
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
ev := a new list
for each interval start end pair (s, e) in intervals, do
insert (s, 1) at the end of ev
insert (e, −1) at the end of ev
sort the list ev
cnt := 0, last := −1
ans := a new list
for each time and increment parameter of events (t, inc) in ev, do
if t is not same as last and cnt is not same as 0, then
cnt := cnt + inc
last := t
return ans
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
Example
class Solution: def solve(self, intervals, jobs): ev = [] for s, e in intervals: ev.append((s, 1)) ev.append((e, −1)) ev.sort() cnt = 0 last = −1 ans = [] for t, inc in ev: if t != last and cnt != 0: ans.append([last, t, cnt]) cnt += inc last = t return ans ob = Solution() intervals = [ [0, 3], [5, 7], [0, 7] ] types = ["problem solving", "news", "game play"] print(ob.solve(intervals, types))
Input
[[0, 3],[5, 7],[0, 7]], ["problem solving", "news", "game play"]
Output
[[0, 3, 2], [3, 5, 1], [5, 7, 2]]
