Problem Statement for "ForumPostEasy"

Problem Statement

In this problem we are using 24-hour time. That is, the first second of each day is 00:00:00 and the last second of each day is 23:59:59.

You are visiting an online forum. Whenever there is a post that has been made strictly less than 24 hours ago, the forum displays a human-readable message stating when it was made. There are three types of messages:

  • "few seconds ago", which means the post is made between 0 and 59 seconds ago, inclusive.
  • "X minutes ago", where X is an integer between 1 and 59, inclusive, which means the post is made between X minutes and X minutes 59 seconds ago, inclusive.
  • "X hours ago", where X is an integer between 1 and 23, inclusive, which means the post is made between X hours and X hours 59 minutes 59 seconds ago, inclusive.

You are given the String[]s exactPostTime and showPostTime, both with the same number of elements. For each valid index i you know the following information:

  • Post i was made strictly less than 24 hours ago.
  • The exact time of day when post i was made is exactPostTime[i].
  • The human-readable string currently displayed by the forum software about post i is showPostTime[i].

Given all the information above, what is the current time?

Return the answer in the format "HH:MM:SS". If there are multiple solutions, return the one that comes first lexicographically. If the information given to you is self-contradictory and there is no solution, return "impossible" instead.

Definition

Class:
ForumPostEasy
Method:
getCurrentTime
Parameters:
String[], String[]
Returns:
String
Method signature:
String getCurrentTime(String[] exactPostTime, String[] showPostTime)
(be sure your method is public)

Notes

  • The lexicographically smaller of two equally-long strings is the one that has a character with a smaller ASCII value at the first index at which they differ.

Constraints

  • exactPostTime will contain between 0 and 50 elements, inclusive.
  • Each element of exactPostTime will be formatted as HH:MM:SS where HH is a two-digit integer between 00 and 23, inclusive, and both MM and SS are two-digit integers between 00 and 59, inclusive.
  • exactPostTime and showPostTime will contain same number of elements.
  • Each element of showPostTime will have one of the formats described in problem statment.

Examples

  1. {"12:12:12"}

    {"few seconds ago"}

    Returns: "12:12:12"

    The current time is somewhere between 12:12:12 and 12:13:11, inclusive. The returned time is the lexicographically smallest one out of all these times.

  2. {"23:23:23","23:23:23"}

    {"59 minutes ago","59 minutes ago"}

    Returns: "00:22:23"

    Both posts were made on the previous day. The current time is a bit after midnight.

  3. {"00:10:10","00:10:10"}

    {"59 minutes ago","1 hours ago"}

    Returns: "impossible"

    Two posts made in the same second cannot have two different human-readable strings.

  4. {"11:59:13","11:13:23","12:25:15"}

    {"few seconds ago","46 minutes ago","23 hours ago"}

    Returns: "11:59:23"

    The post made at 12:25:15 was posted yesterday at that time of day.

  5. {}

    {}

    Returns: "00:00:00"
