Hey everyone, I have to group event times together and can’t think of the best way to do it. I have two arrays of values. The first are start times and the second is end times. I need to group a collection of start and end times together if the gap time between each group’s end time and start time is less than than some given value. For example, with a max gap time of 5, and start times of [5, 7, 17, 21, 35, 37] and end times of [12, 9, 22, 23, 38, 41], i need to group start time as such: {[5, 7, 17, 21], [35, 37]}, while end times should look like this: {[12, 9, 22, 23], [38, 41]}. This occurs like this: {[5]}, {[12]} since event 1 has the earliest start time, it is stored first, the the other event’s start times are checked to see if they are within gap time from the first event’s end time. This leads to these start times: {[5, 7, 17]}, and these end times: {[12, 9, 22]}. Then again, the other event’s are checked to see if their start times are within the gap time of the group’s maximum end time (in this case 22). Accordingly, the new start times are {[5, 7, 17, 21]}, and end time are {[12, 9, 22, 23]}. The new group’s end time is 23. Now no other event’s have start times within the gap time. So this process repeats with the remaining events. Thank you everyone!
