# Working Week Completion

I work a standard nine to five. Monday through Friday. I take a half hour for lunch from 12:30 to 13:00.

Write me a program which, when run, calculates the percentage of the working week that I have completed at the current moment.

Rules

• Only count time actually spent working. I am punctual and do not work over lunch.
• No input. You may obtain information like current time/date however is convenient.
• The working week is considered complete from end-of-day Friday to midnight between Sunday and Monday.
• Timezone is the local timezone.
• Output should be a decimal number, eg 66.25498, percentage symbol optional.
• The program should be reasonably future-proof. It should be able to cope with leap years.
• Output resolution should be a second or better. I like to watch the kettle boil.
• Code golf. Shortest code wins.
• What's your time zone? System local? GMT? Oh, and is that midnight between Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday? – Ilmari Karonen Aug 16 '12 at 15:50
• I updated the rules. Local time, and the Sunday/Monday midnight. – skeevey Aug 16 '12 at 15:55
• Are you earning wages during lunch break? – DavidC Aug 16 '12 at 20:07
• I don't think that would make a difference? – skeevey Aug 16 '12 at 20:48
• if you are at lunch, you are not working, therefore, I guessed at a 37.5 hour work week – SeanC Aug 16 '12 at 20:51

Now I'm nitpicking... Your update added a char (0) that isn't necessary! – Gaffi Aug 21 '12 at 21:19 • my excuse is I haven't been at work after 5:00 for quite a while :D – SeanC Aug 21 '12 at 21:21 ## Perl, 124 chars OK, simple first solution to set the par: say(($p=((($s,$m,$h,@t)=localtime)[6]+6)%7*20+(($h+=$m/60+$s/3600-9)<0?0:$h<3.5?$h:$h<4?3.5:$h<8?$h-.5:7.5)*8/3)<100?$p:100)


Run with perl -M5.010 to enable the Perl 5.10+ say feature. Resolution is one second; if one minute resolution is acceptable, the +$s/3600 part can be deleted for a total length of 116 chars. This solution uses localtime to get the day of week and the time of day, so it should work regardless of year changes, leap days or any other calendar peculiarities, at least as long as the seven day week cycle doesn't change. DST changes during the workday would slightly confuse it, but those basically never happen anyway, presumably precisely because that would lead to way too much confusion. (For testing convenience, note that localtime accepts a Unix timestamp as an optional argument.) # Mathematica 169 168 212 214 211 218 210 190 chars Long-winded, by code golf Standards. The following takes into account working weeks crossing month or year boundaries, as well as leap years. It reckons time worked according to hours and minutes. I couldn't think of a way to avoid spelling out the days of the week.

My method had some left-over syntax from an earlier version that used n, so it couldn't be modified. – Gaffi Aug 22 '12 at 17:10 ## R, 115 chars ---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7---------8---------9---------0---------1---------2 T=as.POSIXlt(Sys.time()-86400);z=T$h+T$mi/60-9;D=function(x,M)min(M,max(0,x));D(((D(z,8)-D(z-3.5,.5))/7.5+T$w)/5,1)


Here is a one-week simulation:

## Ruby, 191116,115 113

The logic is stolen from Fraxtils Python solution.

t=Time.now
d=t.wday
m=[0,t.hour*2+t.min/3e1-18].max
p d<1?100:20*[5,(d-1+[15,m-[8,[7,m].max].min+7].min/15)].min


If you want to test the code with the unit test, you need this 143 character solution:

class Time
def r
m=[0,hour*2+min/3e1-18].max
d=wday
d<1?100:20*[5,(d-1+[15,m-[8,[7,m].max].min+7].min/15)].min
end
end
p Time.now.r


Not the shortest and most efficient code, but with a unit test ;)

The 191 characters include the newlines (I could make it a one-liner, just replace each newline with a ;).

class Time
def r
i=0
d{|t|i+=t.w}
i/1350.0
end
def d
t=dup
yield t-=1 until t.strftime('%w%T')=='109:00:00'
end
def w
h=hour
wday<1||wday>5||h<9||h>16||h==12&&min>29?0:1
end
end
p Time.now.r


And the testcode:

require 'test/unit'
class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_mo
assert_equal( 20, Time.new(2012,8,13,20).r) #monday
end
def test_tue
assert_equal( 40, Time.new(2012,8,14,20).r) #tuesday
end
def test_wed_morning
assert_equal( 40, Time.new(2012,8,15,7).r)
end
def test_wed
assert_equal( 60, Time.new(2012,8,15,20).r)
end
def test_thu
assert_equal( 80, Time.new(2012,8,16,20).r)
end
def test_fri
assert_equal(100, Time.new(2012,8,17,20).r)
end
def test_sat
assert_equal(100, Time.new(2012,8,18,20).r)
end
def test_sun
assert_equal(100, Time.new(2012,8,19,20).r)
end
def test_middle
assert_equal(50, Time.new(2012,8,15,13,15).r)
end
end

Meh third attempt is weak sauce but I think I've gotten the logic right.

• This doesn't work. At a quick glance of the output, there are no long periods of time where the percentage remains the same, which should be the case between each day's 5:00 PM to the following day's 9:00 AM, as well as each 12:30-1:00 PM interval. It also outputs negative numbers and numbers greater than 100 at times. – Fraxtil Aug 17 '12 at 17:34
• Oh, shame on me. You're absolutely right. Mulligan. – chucksmash Aug 17 '12 at 17:39
• @Fraxtil I think I've edged you out by a hair – chucksmash Aug 17 '12 at 21:25
• This appears to have a range of 0 to 37.5. It does pause during the appropriate intervals, though. – Fraxtil Aug 18 '12 at 6:24
• Oh I had it set to print out the number of hours for debugging. I forgot to change it over to % for answer. I'm guessing I won't be able to do that in 2 characters so I guess you got me after all – chucksmash Aug 20 '12 at 14:06
