Lightbulb Intro
With this mission I want to start a series of missions with light bulbs. They will help you understand the concept of processes and evaluation of the processes’ performance. Instead of light bulbs, in real life, there may be equipment, the effectiveness of which must be calculated, or workers who go to work, and their wages must be calculated.
The first mission is quite simple. There is a light bulb, which by default is off, and a button, by pressing which the light bulb switches its state. This means that if the light bulb is off and the button is pressed, the light turns on, and if you press it again, it turns off.
(Everything is easy. I am sure that if you’ve got to this mission, you should understand, but just in case I’m adding a visual.)
The function input is an array of datetime objects - this is the date and time of pressing the button. Your task is to determine how long the light bulb has been turned on.
Input: A list of datetime objects
Output: A number of seconds as an integer.
Example:
sum_light([
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 10, 0 , 0),
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 10, 10 , 10),
]) == 610
sum_light([
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 10, 0 , 0),
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 10, 10 , 10),
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 11, 0 , 0),
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 11, 10 , 10),
]) == 1220
sum_light([
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 10, 0 , 0),
datetime(2015, 1, 12, 10, 0 , 1),
]) == 1
Precondition:
- The array of pressing the button is always sorted in ascending order
- The array of pressing the button has no repeated elements (which means the result should always be bigger than 0)
- The amount of elements is always even (the light will eventually be off)
- The minimum possible date is 1970-01-01
- The maximum possible date is 9999-12-31
CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.
In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)
Install CheckiO Client first:
pip3 install checkio_client
Configure your tool
checkio --domain=py config --key=
Sync solutions into your local folder
checkio sync
(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)
checkio serv -d
Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon
checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium
Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
