portal_interview Summary Choice of Data Structure/Model I decided to use a function to simulate a class in JavaScript to have easier access to the individual pieces of data Using an array, I stored each of the events into the array to allow for simple access through indexing the array This model allows me to loop through the array, while accessing the data using the 'this' to access members of the class The Algorithm The algorithm I used was a simple algorithm that loops through the array to check against every other taskEvent in the array Using the start time, in 24 hour/military time, I then calculate if there will be an overlap in the time If the start time + duration of the first event is greater than the start time of the second event, then there is an overlap There is also an overlap if the start time of the first event is greater than the start time of the second event but less than the end time Potential Edge Cases Potential edge cases were ones that arose from the time. If I had kept the time in the original format, there would be more complicated calculations required to determine conflicts This was solved using the 24 Hour time model Another edge case was an event overlapping with itself, which was easily taken care of with a simple if statement
