README

This is a project that can diff several different week-long schedules to find the intersection. It outputs the results in a 7 by 24 (7 days by 24 hours) matrix. 

For example, the file 'teamtimes' in this directory contains 5 week-long schedules. One of those schedules looks like this:

Mon. 6:00 - 9:00 PM, Tues. 6:00 - 9:00 PM, Wed. 6:00 - 9:00 PM, Thurs. 6:00 - 9:00 PM, Fri. 3:00 - 6:00 PM, Fri. 6:00 - 9:00 PM, Sat. 12 Noon - 3:00 PM, Sat. 3:00 - 6:00 PM, Sun. 3:00 - 6:00 PM

Several of these schedules can be listed out, each separated by a newline character, and provided as input to the program. The program is written in java. This is what the command line should look like if the 'teamtimes' file is used:

$ javac TimeDiff.java
$ java TimeDiff teamtimes
Intersection of hours available:
(first column is 1 AM, last is midnight)
	123456789012345678901234
Mon:	000000000000000000000000
Tues:	000000000000000000000000
Wed:	000000000000000000000000
Thurs:	000000000000000000000000
Fri:	000000000000000000000000
Sat:	000000000000000001000000
Sun:	000000000000001111000000

The matrix is made up of zeros and ones where one means the corresponding hour block is described in each schedule of the list, and zero means there is some schedule in the list that does not have that hour described. The input file must exactly adhere to the syntax in the 'teamtimes' example file. Any number of schedules may be listed.
