Q: Optimizing finding the total time elapsed

Ali HamzeI have to find the total time elapsed between a set of intervals. Test Cases: int[][] test = {{10, 14}, {4, 18}, {19, 20}, {19, 20}, {13, 20}}; int[][] test2 = {{1, 3}, {3, 6}}; answer(test) == 16 answer(test2) == 5 Both of the tests pass, but I get a "time limit exceeded". How can I get this...

Formatting SQL is hard :|
 
One small thing is to remove the if check, and just do doors[x] = !doors[x]. It will remove the comparison check. However, for better review, the codereview site is a good choice. — KevinO 46 secs ago

Well I was going to try my hand at a code golf challenge with SQL, for fun, and because it looked table-like; but it turns out, even golfed to the max, SQL is still hundreds or thousands of bytes more code than even common languages like JavaScript

codereview.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/55887 @rolfl why would you approve this edit...?
First, it's way too minor...
 
@Quill Just the function to break the string up on delimiters is huge, though, that's not even counting doing anything with the values, which I'm still working on
 
Second, did you see the changes? The first change undoes a point I'm making. The second change is this:
We really want to approve that edit?
 
What... I'd reject that as harmful
 
12:42 AM
I rejected as clearly conflicting with the author's intent
since
I'm the author, and the first of the two changes conflicted with my intent (and made it read quite confusingly)
 
FTR I'd reject/rollback as well

If your code works, I'd warmly recommend you post it (not just snippets!) on Code Review, where VBA reviewers will address every single issue with your code, from indentation, naming and comments to performance and efficiency, and overall structure and design.

Welcome to CR!

12:36 PM
@rolfl I'm only making the same deal out of it that you or others do when people inappropriately improve edits. The only reason I'm doing it for this one and not others is because I don't pay that much attention in general, but got notified on this one because it was my answer.
It was an unacceptable approve vote on that edit.
Especially when we consider the edit at the bottom.
 
If that's the way you feel, open a meta question.
 
Because that's what you've done every time you've seen someone behave in a way you felt inappropriately in the review queue, right?
 
@nhgrif - 2 people ar eneeded to approve an edit. The system worked. I was not trying to stick it to you, or anything malicious. If you are so sensitive about these things, then you have to count to 10, and move on.
 
I don't think you were trying to stick it to me.
 
I see you have done 34 reviews of all queues in your profile - that's probably allows for a 100% success rate.
I have made more than 1 mistake in the thousands of reviews I have done, sure.
If you feel inclined to make a big deal of it OK.
 
12:40 PM
Yes. And just as I've seen you plenty of times call out other people in this chat for their mistakes in the review queue, I'm giving you the same medicine.
If you don't like this sort of medicine, then maybe this sort of medicine shouldn't be dished out in this chat.
I'm not giving you anything you've not given anyone else.
 
So, you're saying I am an arsehole for calling people out in chat, which makes you an arese too?
 
The approval was clearly wrong. When you tried to defend it as "okay" is when it became a bigger deal.
 
OMG, seriously>?
 
No. If you would have left it at "Oh, I missed that bottom part, sorry." it would have been done.
 
Did I say the approval was right?
Grow up.
 
12:41 PM
umm...
guys. I think you should both take a step back
 
So, I take it you won't be criticizing others actions in the review queue from now on?
 
and take a deep breath
 
Because that's all I've done.
 
@nhgrif no it's not
 
Nothing that I haven't seen you do plenty of times.
Why can't you take your own medicine?
seriously
 
12:42 PM
but You both seem to be a little too emotional for the good of this discussion
 
@Vogel612 - I am not emotional about this, just surprised
 
maybe. I just come in and see two monkeys flinging something closely resembling insults at each other
 
I guess that's about right..... apparently I have been offending @nhgrif for a number of years, "calling people out in chat", and today is the day he thought he would call me on it by feeding me my own medicine.
Like, you're such a jerk, I can be one too.... right?
If he really cared about review queue quality, he would do more of them

A: Revert new syntax highlighting

HynesBased on this overwhelming feedback, I reverted the colors from the other day, though I did slightly brighten the previous "maroon" color that was being used just to help differentiate from black. The adjustment is small. This is now live on production.

But I liked the new highlighting :(
 
So comment you liked it :P
 
"Maroon" - My favorite color!!! — Maroun Maroun 5 hours ago
 
Perhaps there will be a new iteration.
 
Eh, not too worried about it
People in general don't like change
 
2:31 PM
Let’s face the facts: the syntax highlighting is a slap in the face of the developer anyway, highlighting some arbitrary keywords not matching any programming language correctly and then highlighting the other words just based on the case of the first letter, regardless of the semantic. AFAIK, the standard answer to all issues is “we are using that 3rd party highlighter and can’t change anything about it”. For a site addressing programmers for several years now, that’s a lame excuse… — Holger yesterday

@Mat'sMug Axe to grind much eh?
 
@Phrancis Not necessarily, could be a not-so-subtle reminder it's a flawed system.
Comments can sound overly venomous without being intended as such.
 
All systems are flawed, always
 
Well, the syntax highlighting is pathetic.
 
2:47 PM
I think it's actually reasonably good, all things considered (especially that it has to match every language, with regex)
The alternative is to make syntax trees for every programming language, ever and then bring all those together
Sounds like a lot of work for precious little reward
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT c.name SEPARATOR ",") AS categories
Group concat might be one of the few redeeming features of MySQL
 
@Phrancis stuff
 
Oh is that the same thing as stuff?
 
not really, but you can use stuff to simulate a group_concat
 
Ok
 
I do admit that MySQL's group_concat is simpler
 
2:57 PM
Syntax sugar
Doesn't make up for the fact that MySQL is horrible in general, though :D
 
+13/-4 ...I wonder...
is it bad that I'm hoping for two more upvotes on a misleading answer?
 
@Mat'sMug Yes.
