Excerisce description

We create a new startuo for conference planning. Now we need an automated way for creating the conference schedule.

Preconditions:

• Talks should be imported from a CSV
• Talks are either 30 or 50 min long
• There is a lunch break between 12 and 13 o'clock each day

Solution:

The solution should generate a conference plan that minimizes empty slots and breaks between talks. Each day should feature a talk starting at 9 o'clock and another talk ending at 17 o'clock. The output should be a table that lists all talks for all days.

Instrucions

In this repository the following files can be found:

• A .py file : script.py.
• A .py file: talks.py defining the classes related to the talks.
• A .py file: conference.py defining conference class.
• A .csv file: conferences.csv with a sample list of talks.

To run this program please enter the following command on the terminal:

python script.py --path [PATH_TO_CSV_FILE]

Two assumptions have been considered to develop the solution:

1. A talk ending just before the lunch break or before of the end of the conference day does not have a reserved cleaning slot, hence those were not applied.

2. Break time was considered only the time where it was not possible to fit a new talk. Cleaning slots or lunch break were not considered as such.
