Exclusive Time of Functions

Understand how to calculate the exclusive time of functions from logs in a single-threaded CPU environment. Learn to use stack-based patterns to track function start and end times, handling preemptions accurately. This lesson helps you master problem-solving techniques essential for coding interviews involving execution logs and time calculations.

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 ...
