#2446 - Determine if Two Events Have Conflict

Easy • View on LeetCode • View on GitHub

Problem Description

You are given two arrays of strings that represent two inclusive events that happened on the same day, event1 and event2, where:

event1 = [startTime1, endTime1] and
event2 = [startTime2, endTime2].

Event times are valid 24 hours format in the form of HH:MM.

A conflict happens when two events have some non-empty intersection (i.e., some moment is common to both events).

Return true if there is a conflict between two events. Otherwise, return false.

Solution

/**
 * @param {string[]} event1
 * @param {string[]} event2
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var haveConflict = function(event1, event2) {
  const [start1, end1] = event1;
  const [start2, end2] = event2;
  return start1 <= end2 && start2 <= end1;
};
