There are 2 ways to represent a schedule. The first is a matrix of times and states, the second is a list of timeframes.
The matrix is an object of days in which, for each day, the matrix is a list of quarter-hour intervals. Each interval has a boolean value indicating whether the quarter has an active or inactive timeframe.
You can find the input matrices in the input folder.
The timeframes are a list of objects with a start and end time.
You can find the output timeframes in the output folder.
The value false in the matrix determines that the timeframe is active, and the value true determines that the timeframe is inactive. Only the active timeframes should be returned.
The problem is to convert each matrix in the input folder to a list of timeframes corresponding to the same timeframe in the output folder.
The (incomplete) matrix for monday can be:
{
"00:00": false,
"00:15": false,
"00:30": false,
"00:45": true,
"01:00": true,
"01:15": false,
"01:30": false,
"01:45": false,
"02:00": false,
// Each remaining interval has the value true
}The output for monday should be:
[
{
"from": null,
"to": "00:45",
},
{
"from": "01:15",
"to": "02:15",
}
]- The code should be written in PHP
- When the starttime of an entry in the timeframe is "00:00", the value "from" should be
null. - When the endtime of an entry in the timeframe is "24:00", the value "to" should be
null. - (Optional): The code should be tested
Like a math exam, the result is not important, the path to get to the result is.
