Schedule Generator
Hello there! This is the standalone repository for the schedule generator from my school-management-api project.
The algorithm reads student requests and generates a timetable for all requested classes and fills them with students, giving the students their own schedules.
The algorithm has been moved out of tinker.py into its own python script. Version 1 and 2 are removed and the script can be found in the /scheduleGenerator folder. The algorithm has come a long way; using real 2018 course selection data from my school, enabling me to better test the script. V3 has a entirely different approach from V1 and V2, that you can read about at the top of the function in generator.py. The function is broken up into 6 steps, each step is labeled within the function with a comment, giving a brief explination of what that step contributes to the algorithm.
This is the output after running it with the following command
$ ./tinker.py
A more in depth error log can be read with the additional argument
$ ./tinker.py errors
