Check two times falls between two times python-CodePudding

Want to check whether two times falls in between to another to time

Checking time is between start=2 pm and end=3 pm

ex :1
t1=12 PM
T2=2.30 PM

here 0.5 hours falls in that time

ex :2
t1=2.0 pm
t2=4 pm

here 1 hours fall in that time

ex : 3 
t1=12
t2=5pm

here 2 hours fall in that time

I want the code to check whether t1 and t2 falls in between start and end

Looks like that should be something like this

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def _range(t1, t2):
    t1 = datetime.strptime(t1, '%I %p')
    t2 = datetime.strptime(t2, '%I %p')
    
    if start <= t1 <= end and start <= t2 <= end:
        return True
    else:
        return False

So now

_range('12.30 PM', '2.30 PM')) is True
_range('12 PM', '5 PM')) is False
_range('2.30 PM', '4 PM')) is True

Correct me if I am wrong since I got confused by your question. But based on how I understand it, you simply want to know whether two times fall in between two other times.

Try to use the DateTime module in Python like this:

from datetime import datetime, time

# Start time
start = time(hour=14, minute=0)  # 2 PM

# End time
end = time(hour=15, minute=0)  # 3 PM

# Check if time1 falls in the range
time1 = time(hour=12, minute=0)  # 12 PM
if start <= time1 <= end:
    print("Time1 falls in the range")
else:
    print("Time1 does not fall in the range")

# Check if time2 falls in the range
time2 = time(hour=14, minute=30)  # 2:30 PM
if start <= time2 <= end:
    print("Time2 falls in the range")
else:
    print("Time2 does not fall in the range")

# Check if time3 falls in the range
time3 = time(hour=16, minute=0)  # 4 PM
if start <= time3 <= end:
    print("Time3 falls in the range")
else:
    print("Time3 does not fall in the range")

This code will check whether each of the three times (time1, time2, and time3) falls in the range between start and end. The output will be:

Time1 does not fall in the range
Time2 falls in the range
Time3 does not fall in the range
