Well, one of the best batch scheduling strategies with regard to
several criteria is "shortest remaining processing time first".
Operating systems don't use it much in practice since few jobs
volunteer the information in advance.

just to add a little sparkling to it - "SORT BY FINISHING TIME and
eliminate overlaps"

So do something rather than add to the mess. Set followups and
complain that the OP didn't do that in the first place. Maybe next
time he will.

Hello, any help appreciated with following problem. I figured out the algorithm (I think), just having trouble proving it is optimal. Suppose we are given n tasks each of which takes 1 unit time to complete. Suppose further that each task has a deadline by which it is expected to finish. IF a task is not finished by the deadline, a standard penalty of $10 is applied. The problem is to find a schedule of the tasks that minimizes the...

re: 4.2.1 Regular Expression Syntax http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html *?, +?, ?? Adding "?" after the qualifier makes it perform the match in non-greedy or minimal fashion; as few characters as possible will be matched. the regular expression module fails to perform non-greedy matches as described in the documentation: more than "as few characters as possible"

the '*' and '+' don't seem to be greedy.. they will consume less in order to match a string: ('aa', 'ab') this is the sort of behaviour i'd expect from '(a+?)(ab)' a+ should greedily consume a's at the expense of the string not matching
