Solution: Exclusive Time of Functions

Explore how to calculate the exclusive time of functions given start and end logs in a single-threaded CPU context. Understand the stack-based approach to accurately track execution times, handle nested calls, and implement efficient parsing to solve timing problems involving function execution logs.

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 $0$ and $n-1$ . Compute the exclusive time of the functions in the program.

Note: The exclusive time is the sum of the execution times for all the calls to a specific function.

Constraints:

$1 \leq$ n $\leq 100$
