Exclusive Time of Functions

Explore how to compute the exclusive time each function runs in a single-threaded CPU by analyzing execution logs. Understand how to use stack-based algorithms to track function start and end times, handle preemptions, and accurately sum exclusive execution durations. This lesson deepens your comprehension of stack applications in timing-related coding problems, preparing you to solve similar coding interview challenges with confidence.

Statement

We are given an integer number, n, representing the number of functions running in a single-threaded CPU, and an execution log, which is essentially a list of strings. Each string has the format {function id}:{"start" | "end"}:{timestamp}, indicating that the function with function id either started or stopped execution at the time identified by the timestamp value. Each function has a unique ID between ...
