Prime Dates


Problem Statement :


In this challenge, the task is to debug the existing code to successfully execute all provided test files.

Given two dates each in the format dd-mm-yyyy, you have to find the number of lucky dates between them (inclusive). To see if a date is lucky,

Firstly, sequentially concatinate the date, month and year, into a new integer  erasing the leading zeroes.
Now if x is divisible by either 4 or 7, then we call the date a lucky date.

For example, let's take the date "02-08-2024". After concatinating the day, month and year, we get x = 2082024. As x is divisible by 4 so the date "02-08-2024" is called a lucky date.

Debug the given function findPrimeDates and/or other lines of code, to find the correct lucky dates from the given input.

Note: You can modify at most five lines in the given code and you cannot add or remove lines to the code.

Input Format

Input Format

The only line of the input contains two strings u and v denoting the two dates following the format dd-mm-yyyy. Consider, d is the day number, m is the month number and y is the year number.

Note: Here  m = 01 means January, m = 02 means February,  m = 03 means March and so on and all the dates follow the standard structure of English calender including the leap year.

Constraints


1  <=  d1, d2  <= 31
1  <=  m1, m2  <= 12
1000  <=   y1, y2   <=  9999


Output Format

For each test cases, print a single integer the number of lucky dates between u and v in a single line.

In   Python3  :






import re

    if year % 400 == 0:
        month[2] = 29
    elif year % 100 == 0:
        month[2] = 28

        month[2] = 29
    else:
        month[2] = 28

    month[9] = 30
    month[10] = 31
    month[11] = 30
    month[12] = 31

    storeMonth()
    result = 0

    while(True):
        x = d1
        x = x * 100 + m1
        x = x * 10000 + y1
        if x % 4 == 0 or x % 7 == 0:
            result = result + 1
        if d1 == d2 and m1 == m2 and y1 == y2:
            break
        updateLeapYear(y1)

            m1 = m1 + 1
            d1 = 1
            if m1 > 12:
                y1 =  y1 + 1
                m1 = 1
    return result;

for i in range(1, 15):
    month.append(31)

line = input()
date = re.split('-| ', line)
d1 = int(date[0])
m1 = int(date[1])
y1 = int(date[2])
d2 = int(date[3])
m2 = int(date[4])
y2 = int(date[5])

result = findPrimeDates(d1, m1, y1, d2, m2, y2)

Find the Running Median

The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.

Minimum Average Waiting Time

Tieu owns a pizza restaurant and he manages it in his own way. While in a normal restaurant, a customer is served by following the first-come, first-served rule, Tieu simply minimizes the average waiting time of his customers. So he gets to decide who is served first, regardless of how sooner or later a person comes. Different kinds of pizzas take different amounts of time to cook. Also, once h
