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.

    \$\begingroup\$ What's your time zone? System local? GMT? Oh, and is that midnight between Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday? \$\endgroup\$ Aug 16, 2012 at 15:50
  • \$\begingroup\$ I updated the rules. Local time, and the Sunday/Monday midnight. \$\endgroup\$

Python 3, 132

from datetime import*
t=datetime.now().timetuple()
m=max(0,t[3]*2+t[4]/30-18)
print(20*min(5,(t[6]+min(15,m-min(8,max(7,m))+7)/15)))

The resolution is one minute, or 2/45 of a percent. That's more than enough IMO.

paste into A2:A4

=(WEEKDAY(A2,3)*7.5+IF(A3<0,0,IF(A3>TIME(8,0,0),7.5,(A3-IF(A3>.1875,TIME(0,30,0),0))*24)))/37.5

format the cell A4 as % to get the correct format

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. Mathematica returns day of week as a 3 character string, which has to be converted to a number.

h = Plus @@ {#1, #2/60, #3/3600} & @@ Take[DateList[], -3]; 100*Min[37.5, (StringTake[DateString[], 3] /. {"Mon" -> 0, "Tue" -> 1, "Wed" -> 2 , "Thu" -> 3, "Fri" -> 4, _ -> 5})*7.5 + Which[h < 12.5, Max[0, h - 9], h < 13, 4, True, 4 + Min[h - 13, 4]]]/37.5

De-golfed

(* d returns {year, mo, day, h, m, s}   *)
d = DateList[]

(* finished Days: hours worked *)
f = (StringTake[DateString[],  3] /. {"Mon" -> 0, "Tue" -> 1, "Wed" -> 2 , "Thu" -> 3, "Fri" -> 4, _ -> 5})*7.5

(* time of day in hours *)
h = Plus @@ {#1, #2/60} & @@ Take[d, -3]

(* today: hours Worked. It also computes hours for Sat and Sunday but does not use 
them in the final tabulation, which has a maximum of 37.5. *)
t = Which[h < 12.5, Max[0, h - 9], h < 13, 4, _, 4 + Min[h - 13, 4]]

(* hours Worked in week *)
tot = Min[37.5, f + t]

(* % of working week completed *)
100*tot/37.5

Formatted to run from the immediate window. Thanks to Sean Cheshire for pointing out a 10-char improvement!

n=(Now-Int(Now))*24:a=(Weekday(Now,3)*7.5+IIf(n>17,7.5,IIf(n>9,IIf(n<12.5,n,IIf‌​(n>13,n-.5,n))-9,0)))/37.5:MsgBox Format(IIf(a>1,1,a),".0%")

  • \$\begingroup\$ use n=n*24, and it can be reduced more. my fight with it produced this: n=(Now-Int(Now))*24:a=(Weekday(Now,3)*7.5+IIf(n>17,7.5,IIf(n>9,IIf(n<12.5,n,IIf(n>13,n-.5,n))-9,0)))/37.5:MsgBox Format(IIf(a>1,1,a),".0%") @ 139 \$\endgroup\$

Here is a one-week simulation:

week.frac <- function(t) {

Ruby, 191 116,115 113

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

Python 2 130 chars

from datetime import*
t=datetime.now().timetuple();
m=min
a=max
n=t[3]+t[4]/60.0
print m(17,a(9,n))-9-(a(0,m(.5,n-12.5)))+7.5*m(t[6],4)

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

    \$\begingroup\$ 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. \$\endgroup\$
