I've develope a "simple" function to calculate the difference between 2 dates, and the time that they are interpolated.
I need it to: I arrive to a site at a hour (my_from), I go out from the site at a hour (my_to). Some friend arrive at the site at a hour (his_from) and let it at a hour (his_to) If I stay in the site after he arrives and before he goes out, the "probability" of match is 1, if I let the site after he arrives, the probability of match is 0... You can see the samples in the documentation. I need to know if this is a good way to do, and if compare all the kinds of matching (I've found 6). This is the code: def time_match(self, my_from, my_to, his_from, his_to): """ I've found 6 general kinds of time matching. It's better to explain it with graphics: (my_from)--A--(my_to) ------------------------- (his_from)--B--(his_to) """ # |-A-| |-A-| # -------------------- or -------------------- # |--B--| |--B--| if my_to < his_from or his_to < my_from: return 0 # |--A--| # -------------------- # |------B-------| elif my_from >= his_from and my_to <= his_to: return 1 # |-----A-------| # -------------------- # |-B-| elif my_from < his_from and my_to > his_to: my_diff_to_reuse = diff_in_seconds(my_from, my_to) diff = my_diff_to_reuse - self.diff_in_seconds(his_from, his_to) return (diff / my_diff_to_reuse) # |---A---| # -------------------- # |---B---| elif my_from <= his_from and my_to <= his_to: diff = self.diff_in_seconds(his_from, my_to) return (diff / self.diff_in_seconds(my_from, my_to)) # |---A---| # -------------------- # |---B---| elif my_from >= his_from and my_to >= his_to: diff = self.diff_in_seconds(my_from, his_to) return (diff / self.diff_in_seconds(my_from, my_to)) # If I'm here I have a problem return 0 def diff_in_seconds(date1, date2): # Initial from: http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/304/ timedelta = date2 - date1 diff = timedelta.days*24*3600 + timedelta.seconds return abs(float(diff)) Thanks! -- Please, don't send me files with extensions: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt and/or .pptx http://mirblu.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
