Hi Mark, Part of the problem statement sounds a little unusual to me, so I need to push on it to confirm. How do we know that there are only two files at a time that we need to manage?
The naming convention described in the problem: --- The naming convention of the files is as follows: TYYYYDDDHHMMSS, where: T= one character satellite code YYYY = 4 digit year DDD = Julian date HH = 2-digit hour MM = 2-digit minute SS = 2-digit second --- allows for multiple collisions on the key TYYYYDDD. But without additional information, having more than two collisions seems a likely possibility to me! is there some other convention in play that prevents >2 collisions from occurring? The real world can be a bit dirty, so what happens if there are more? Is that an error? Good luck to you! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
