Problem
You are given a 2D 0-indexed array of strings, access_times
, with size n
. For each i
where 0 <= i <= n - 1
, access_times[i][0]
represents the name of an employee, and access_times[i][1]
represents the access time of that employee. All entries in access_times
are within the same day.
The access time is represented as four digits using a 24-hour time format, for example, "0800"
or "2250"
.
An employee is said to be high-access if he has accessed the system three or more times within a one-hour period.
Times with exactly one hour of difference are not considered part of the same one-hour period. For example, "0815"
and "0915"
are not part of the same one-hour period.
Access times at the start and end of the day are not counted within the same one-hour period. For example, "0005"
and "2350"
are not part of the same one-hour period.
Return a list that contains the names of high-access employees with any order you want.
Example 1:
Input: access_times = [["a","0549"],["b","0457"],["a","0532"],["a","0621"],["b","0540"]] Output: ["a"] Explanation: "a" has three access times in the one-hour period of [05:32, 06:31] which are 05:32, 05:49, and 06:21. But "b" does not have more than two access times at all. So the answer is ["a"].
Example 2:
Input: access_times = [["d","0002"],["c","0808"],["c","0829"],["e","0215"],["d","1508"],["d","1444"],["d","1410"],["c","0809"]] Output: ["c","d"] Explanation: "c" has three access times in the one-hour period of [08:08, 09:07] which are 08:08, 08:09, and 08:29. "d" has also three access times in the one-hour period of [14:10, 15:09] which are 14:10, 14:44, and 15:08. However, "e" has just one access time, so it can not be in the answer and the final answer is ["c","d"].
Example 3:
Input: access_times = [["cd","1025"],["ab","1025"],["cd","1046"],["cd","1055"],["ab","1124"],["ab","1120"]] Output: ["ab","cd"] Explanation: "ab" has three access times in the one-hour period of [10:25, 11:24] which are 10:25, 11:20, and 11:24. "cd" has also three access times in the one-hour period of [10:25, 11:24] which are 10:25, 10:46, and 10:55. So the answer is ["ab","cd"].
