About the Case Study

We have an extensive interview process which means that we don’t hurry while hiring and it ensures the
right fit for both- the candidate and the employer.

This case study is the part of an interview process and it pretty much represents the kind of tasks you’d be
doing on a daily basis at LogiNext. The problem statement in this interview aims to test your technical skills
and how you approach a problem.

You’re free to use the Internet and reference materials. This is obvious but still no plagiarism, give the case
study your best creative shot! At LogiNext, we have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism and other
violations of our ethics policy. Ethics violations of any kind are taken seriously and may result in dismissal
from our program as well legal proceedings including claim to damages. The best way you can keep
yourself.

Imagine that you have been given the task of managing the food delivery network of a restaurant RoofTop
in New York. You need to help them deliver the orders to their customers by assigning the delivery boys to
each order.

Assume that the city consists of N customers who want to order their lunch today from RoofTop. You have
a total of M drivers and need to cater to the customers ordering food. Each customer has two parameters
associated with them, O and T, denoting the time at which a customer orders a meal and the travel time
from RoofTop restaurant to the destination of this particular customer. Each delivery boy can only deliver
one order at a time and as soon as the delivery boy gets free, he must start delivering other orders.

The lowest index delivery boy must be allocated first for the delivery, The status of the delivery boy while
delivering the order should be "Busy". If all the delivery boys are busy at the time of order placement then
show the message "No Food :-(".

Annotations:

N - Number of customer orders (The customers are enumerated from C1, C2 to CN) M - Number of delivery
boys (The drivers are enumerated from D1, D2 to DM)
O - Order placement time
T - Travel time from restaurant to customer

Input:
Total number of customer orders (N) - 6 Total number of drivers (M) - 2

If 1st Customer's order placement time is 1 and it takes 10 minutes to travel from restaurant to customer
then (O, T) -> (1, 10)
