Project 1 - Algorith Implementation

• Patrick Valera - pvalera@csu.fullerton.edu
• Jimmie Gilmer III - JGilmer@csu.fullerton.edu

Instructions to run the program

1. Write user inputs in the input.txt file.
2. Run Project1_starter.py. The script will read 10 sets of inputs from the input.txt file.
3. View the output of the algorithm in the output.txt file.

Notes

• Input.txt file already contains 10 sets of inputs that can be edited for testing purposes.
• To avoid missing txt file error when running the script, run the following command from the root folder.

python3 Project1_starter.py
or
python Project1_starter.py

Format for the input

• First line reads the number of members
• Second line read the minimum minutes required
• Rest of the reads will be the busy schedule and available time of each member
• [00:00] is used to indicate that a member doesnt have a busy schedule

Example

2                                  # 2 members
30                                 # 30 minutes minimum
[07:00,08:30],[12:00,13:00]        # Member 1's busy scheule
[08:00,12:00]                      # Member 1's login-logout interval
[07:00,08:30],[12:00,13:00]        # Member 2's busy scheule
[13:00,20:00]                      # Member 2's login-logout interval

2                                  # 2 members
30                                 # 30 minutes minimum
[00:00]                            # Member 1 Empty busy schedule
[08:00,12:00]                      # Member 1's login-logout interval
[00:00]                            # Member 2 Empty busy schedule
[13:00,20:00]                      # Member 2's login-logout interval
