Store Hour Formatting Exercise

Purpose

The purpose of this problem is to dynamically reproduce the store hour display style that is commonly seen on the front door of businesses.

Examples

The basic example is when every day has a unique time

Monday: 1:00 - 5:00
Tuesday: 2:00 - 5:00
Wednesday: 3:00 -5:00
...

Then we want to group days together

Monday: 1:00 - 5:00
Tuesday, Wednesday: 2:00 - 5:00
...

But we shouldn't group days that aren't consecutive

Monday: 1:00 - 5:00
Tuesday: 2:00 - 5:00
Wednesday: 1:00 - 5:00
...

Multiple days get grouped diferently

Monday: 1:00 - 5:00
Tuesday - Thursday: 2:00 - 5:00
...

Other further considerations

  • Some days may be missing from the provided list
  • The days may be out of order
  • Some days may have a time range but be inactive
