How can I efficiently compare each value in an array with each other value?












0















I have an array called entriesFinal that contains arrays with a start time, end time, and duration.



I want to push these entries to an empty array called ganttData, adding on a couple of extra fields.



Some of the entries in entriesFinal overlap, and I don't want these in ganttData.



Below is my current implementation which is functionally perfect, but the execution time is too long.



N.B. forEachAsync is a custom method that is functionally equivalent to a regular forEach, but works asynchronously.



let invalidEntries = 

await forEachAsync(entriesFinal, async entry1 => {
await forEachAsync(entriesFinal, async entry2 => {

if(entry1 != entry2){
let invalidStart = entry2.startTime.isBetween(entry1.startTime, entry1.endTime)
let invalidEnd= entry2.endTime.isBetween(entry1.startTime, entry1.endTime)
if(invalidStart || invalidEnd){
invalidEntries.push(entry2)
}
}

})
})

await forEachAsync(entriesFinal, async entry => {

if(!invalidEntries.includes(entry)){
ganttData.push({
name: channel.name,
label: label,
startTime: entry.startTime.format("DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"),
endTime: entry.endTime.format("DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"),
duration: entry.duration
})
}

})


Is there a more efficient way of excluding the overlapping entries? This whole sequence is inside a wider loop which runs ~1500 times, hence my need to minimize the execution time of this process.

  • did you compare the time with regular for(;;) loop? function calls have pretty big overhead depending on the browser optimizations

    if you sort entries by startTime, you'll only need to compare an entry with the previous one, not with all others.

  • @Slai are you talking about the isBetween() function? If so, I am using moment.js for the dates and isBetween() is a built-in function

    functions in general have more overhead than native JavaScript, but my guess is that the custom forEachAsync has even more overhead stackoverflow.com/questions/43821759/…
