如何检查循环范围的重叠(每年重叠的周期)

How to check for overlap of cyclic ranges (overlapping yearly recurring periods)

我正在尝试寻找一种优雅的算法来检查两个年度重复周期是否重叠。该期间与年份无关,但可以预期年份始终是闰年。

例如,时间段 A =(3 月 1 日至 5 月 1 日)和时间段 B =(4 月 1 日至 9 月 1 日)重叠。 此外,期间 A =(10 月 1 日至 2 月 1 日)和期间 B =(1 月 1 日至 3 月 1 日)重叠。

然而,我发现这比我预期的要难。复杂性来自于跨越年末的时期。

我有一个可行的解决方案(请参阅下面的 doesOverlap(A,B) 方法),但我发现它令人困惑。

# for the rest of the MWE context code, see further
# WORKING, but a bit convulted
def doesOverlap(A, B):  
    '''returns True if yearly period A and B have overlapping dates'''
    # list to track if day in year is part of a period A
    # (this could probably be done a bit cheaper with a dictionary of tuples, but not relevant for my question)
    yeardayCovered = [False for x in range(366)]  # leap year

    # mark the days of A
    for d in range(A.start, A.start + A.length):
        yeardayCovered[d % 366] = True

    # now check each of the days in B with A
    for d in range(B.start, B.start + B.length):
        if yeardayCovered[d % 366]:
            return True
    return False

我相信应该可以用更少的检查和更优雅的方式来做到这一点。我尝试将其中一个开始日期设置为零偏移量,应用一些模运算符,然后进行常规(非循环)范围重叠检查(Algorithm to detect overlapping periods)。但我还没有得到它适用于我所有的测试用例。

#NOT WORKING CORRECTLY!!
def doesOverlap(A, B):   
    '''determines if two yearly periods have overlapping dates'''
    Astart = A.start
    Astop = A.stop
    Bstart = B.start
    Bstop = B.stop

    # start day counting at Astart, at 0
    offset = Astart
    Astart = 0
    Astop = (Astop - offset) % 366
    Bstart = (Bstart - offset) % 366
    Bstop = (Bstop - offset) % 366

    # overlap?
    # 
    return (Astart <= Bstop and Bstart <= Astop)

注意:我已经完成了 Python 中的代码,但理想情况下,解决方案不应过于 Python 具体(即不使用通常只是开箱即用的功能在 Python 中可用,但在 C 或 C# 中不可用)

# MWE (Minimal Working Example)

import datetime
import unittest


class TimePeriod:
    def __init__(self, startDay, startMonth, stopDay, stopMonth):
        self.startDay = startDay
        self.startMonth = startMonth

        self.stopMonth = stopMonth

    def __repr__(self):
        return "From " + str(self.startDay) + "/" + str(self.startMonth) + " to " + \
            str(self.stopDay) + "/" + str(self.stopMonth)

    def _dayOfYear(self, d, m, y=2012):
        '''2012 = leap year'''
        date1 = datetime.date(year=y, day=d, month=m)
        return date1.timetuple().tm_yday

    @property
    def start(self):
        '''day of year of start of period, zero-based for easier modulo operations! '''
        return self._dayOfYear(self.startDay, self.startMonth) - 1

    @property
    def stop(self):
        '''day of year of stop of period, zero-based for easier modulo operations! '''
        return self._dayOfYear(self.stopDay, self.stopMonth) - 1

    @property
    def length(self):
        '''number of days in the time period'''
        _length = (self.stop - self.start) % 366 + 1
        return _length

def doesOverlap(A, B):
    # code from above goes here


class TestPeriods(unittest.TestCase):
    pass


def test_generator(a, b, c):
    def test(self):
        self.assertEqual(doesOverlap(a, b), c)
    return test

if __name__ == '__main__':

    #some unit tests, probably not complete coverage of all edge cases though
    tests = [["max", TimePeriod(1, 1, 31, 12), TimePeriod(1, 1, 1, 1), True],
             ["BinA", TimePeriod(1, 3, 1, 11), TimePeriod(1, 5, 1, 10), True],

    for i, t in enumerate(tests):

您可以将跨年末的时间段分成两部分,然后将两者进行比较。这将导致不需要任何 Python 特定功能的非常简单的递归函数:

def overlap(start_a, stop_a, start_b, stop_b):
    if start_a > stop_a:
        return overlap(start_a, 365, start_b, stop_b) or overlap(0, stop_a, start_b, stop_b)
    elif start_b > stop_b:
        return overlap(start_a, stop_a, start_b, 365) or overlap(start_a, stop_a, 0, stop_b)
    else:
        return start_a <= stop_b and start_b <= stop_a

def doesOverlap(A, B):
    return overlap(A.start, A.stop, B.start, B.stop)
def overlap(a0, a1, b0, b1):
    # First we "lift" the intervals from the yearly "circle"
    # to the time "line" by adjusting the ending date if
    # ends up before starting date...
    if a1 < a0: a1 += 365
    if b1 < b0: b1 += 365

    # There is an intersection either if the two intervals intersect ...
    if a1 > b0 and a0 < b1: return True

    # ... or if they do after moving A forward or backward one year
    if a1+365 > b0 and a0+365 < b1: return True
    if a1-365 > b0 and a0-365 < b1: return True

    # otherwise there's no intersection
    return False
