Question
a) Design an efficient
[Important instruction: Create an arbitrary list of 10 lectures starting times and their corresponding ending times to provide full explanation of how your proposed
algorithm should work step by step]
b) Implement your efficient algorithm using Python

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose you have a set of n lectures that need to be scheduled in classrooms. Each lecture
has fixed start and end times. You would like to use as few classrooms as possible to
schedule all lectures.
For example:
Lectures 1
2
3
4
5
9:00 11:00 11:00
Starts: 9:00 9:00
Ends:
2:00
10:30 12:30 10:30 12:30
These lectures can be scheduled in 3 classrooms.

The greatest common divisor, if it exists, will be the remaining non-zero value."arrow_forward
