After working around eight and a half hours on the c++ script for this sorter, how I call it, I’ve finally made the platform from which I’ll build everything else.
How it works? Well, basically, you input the path to your .txt file containing all the info you want to input, the info being in the form of a lot of users, each user having his for lines, first: being the name, second: time of day, third: type of training and fourth: some exceptions that may exist for the said user.
Next, the script reads the file and creates a list with all the users and their info. After that it creates a long string that contains all the users, sorted into days of the week and times of days. It calculates it so it uses the least hours of day per week, and so that everyone has the same amount of appointments as it says in the file.
For good measure, I have a function to count how many times each user appears in the string, so I know if there is an error.
That’s all for now (the segmentation errors took a lot of time…), and I’ll keep working and posting about this project! :D
