Hi everyone,
I've been trying to figure out a simple algorithm on how to combine a
list of parts that have 1D locations that overlap into a non-
overlapping list. For example, here would be my input:
part name location
a 5-9
b 7-10
c 3-6
d 15-20
e 18-23
And here is what I need for an output:
part name location
c.a.b 3-10
d.e 15-23
I've tried various methods, which all fail. Does anyone have an idea
how to do this?
Thank you very much!
Jay
I haven't tried but could you adapt this:-
data = [ 1, 4,5,6, 10, 15,16,17,18, 22, 25,26,27,28]
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (i,x):i-x):
print map(itemgetter(1), g)
