Are you available?

The Problem

Dan, president of a Large company could use your help. He wants to implement a system that will switch all his devices into offline mode depending on his meeting schedule. When he's at a meeting and somebody texts him, he wants to send an automatic message informing that he's currently unavailable and the time when he's going to be back.

What To Do

Your task is to write a helper function checkAvailability that will take 2 arguments:

• schedule, which is going to be a nested array with Dan's schedule for a given day. Inside arrays will consist of 2 elements - start and finish time of a given appointment,
• currentTime - is a string with specific time in hh:mm 24-h format for which the function will check availability based on the schedule.
  • If no appointments are scheduled for currentTime, the function should return true. If there are no appointments for the day, the output should also be true
  • If Dan is in the middle of an appointment at currentTime, the function should return a string with the time he's going to be available.

Examples

checkAvailability([["09:30", "10:15"], ["12:20", "15:50"]], "11:00"); should return true

checkAvailability([["09:30", "10:15"], ["12:20", "15:50"]], "10:00"); should return "10:15"

If the time passed as input is equal to the end time of a meeting, function should also return true. checkAvailability([["09:30", "10:15"], ["12:20", "15:50"]], "15:50"); should return true

You can expect valid input for this kata

Given Code

def check_availability(schedule, current_time):
    pass

Solution

def check_availability(schedule, current_time):
    for t in schedule:
        start, finish = t[0], t[1]
        if int(start[:2]) <= int(current_time[:2]) <= int(finish[:2]) and int(current_time[3:]) < int(finish[3:]):
            return t[1]
    else:
        return True
