Qube Cinemas Challenge 2019

Qube delivers the movie content to theatres all around the world. There are multiple delivery partners to help us deliver the content.

Delivery partners specify the rate of delivery and cost in following manner (All costs are in paise):

Table 1:

Theatre	Size Slab (in GB)	Minimum cost	Cost Per GB	Partner ID
T1	0-200	2000	20	P1
T1	200-400	3000	15	P1
T3	100-200	4000	30	P1
T3	200-400	5000	25	P1
T5	100-200	2000	30	P1
T1	0-400	1500	25	P2

First row allows 0 to 200 GB content to be sent to theatre T1 with the rate 20 paise per GB. However, if total cost comes less than minimum cost, minimum cost (2000 paise) will be charged.

NOTE:

• Multiple partners can deliver to same theatre

• Write programs in any language you want. Feel free to hold the datasets in whatever data structure you want, but try not to use external databases - as far as possible stick to your langauage without bringing in MySQL/Postgres/MongoDB/Redis/Etc.

• We've provided a CSV partners.csv with the list of all partners, theatres, content size, minimum cost and cost per GB. Please use the data mentioned there for this program instead of data given in Table 1 and 2. The codes you see in csv may be different from what you see in tables, so please always use the codes in the CSV. This Readme is only an example.

This challenge consist of two problems. Aim to solve atleast Problem Statement 1.

Problem Statement 1

Given a list of content size and Theatre ID, Find the partner for each delivery where cost of delivery is minimum. If delivery is not possible, mark that delivery impossible.

Use the data given in partners.csv.

Input: A CSV file input.csv. Each row containing delivery ID, size of delivery and theatre ID.

Expected Output: A CSV output.csv. Each row containing delivery ID, indication if delivery is possible (true/false), selected partner and cost of delivery.

Sample Scenarios (Based on above table 1):

INPUT:

D1, 100, T1
D2, 300, T1
D3, 350, T1

OUTPUT:

D1, true, P1, 2000
D2, true, P1, 4500
D3, true, P1, 5250

---

INPUT:

D1, 70, T1
D2, 300, T1

OUTPUT:

D1, true, P2, 1750
D2, true, P1, 4500

---

INPUT:

D1, 70, T3
D2, 300, T1

OUTPUT:

D1, false, "", "" 
D2, true, P1, 4500

Problem Statement 2

Each partner specifies the maximum capacity they can serve, across all their deliveries in following manner:

Table 2:

Partner ID	Capacity (in GB)
P1	500
P2	300

We have provided capacities.csv which contain ID and capacities for each partner.

Given a list of content size and Theatre ID, Assign deliveries to partners in such a way that all deliveries are possible (Higher Priority) and overall cost of delivery is minimum (i.e. First make sure no delivery is impossible and then minimise the sum of cost of all the delivery). If delivery is not possible to a theatre, mark that delivery impossible. Take partner capacity into consideration as well.

Use partners.csv and capacities.csv.

Input: Same as Problem statement 1.

Expected Output: Same as Problem statement 1.

Sample Scenario (Based on above table 1 and 2):

INPUT:

D1, 100, T1
D2, 240, T1
D2, 260, T1

OUTPUT:

D1, true, P2, 2500
D2, true, P1, 3600
D3, true, P1, 3900

Explanation: Only partner P1 and P2 can deliver content to T1. Lowest cost of delivery will be achieved if all three deliveries are given to partner P1 (100*20+240*15+260*15 = 9,500). However, P1 has capacity of 500 GB and total assigned capacity is (100+240+260) 600 GB in this case. Assigning any one of the delivery to P2 will bring the capacity under 500. Assigning the D1, D2 and D3 to P2 is increasing the total cost of delivery by 500 (100*25+240*15+260*15-9500), 2400 (100*20+240*25+260*15-9500) and 2600 (100*20+240*15+260*25-9500) respectively. Hence, Assigning D1 to P2.
