The application reads a file with event data in the format
and generates a schedule with multiple tracks containing events as per the constrainsts described in the problem.
The algorithm used creates the schedule by calculating the optimal number of tracks required. It then populates events in the track by sorting them in descending order by duration and adds them to the most populated track in which it can fit.
The number of events in the track decides its population.
#Usage
node index.js <filename>The file data.txt contains the sample list of events.
