Program to help me choose classes

leroyjenkens

Hello, does anyone know of any website that has a program that lets me type in all the classes I want to take and type in the times and days for them, and then the program arranges them in ways that don't overlap so I can visually see what classes I will be able to take that semester?

I was thinking about making a program that did exactly this. I gave up after thinking about it for a little bit because of the large number of possibilities that would have to be presented. If you wish to take 5 classes and each has 4 possible time slots that's 4⁵ = 1024 possible combinations. A computer could certainly handle this, but how would you present it to the user?

I thought about having the program calculate things like total gaps between classes and days per week of class, but realized it was a lot easier just to put the choices in a text file and start arranging them into the most logical combinations. This is the kind of thing humans are very good at, compared to computers.

Out of all those combinations though, there would only be a couple of combinations where there's no overlapping of times. I don't know how to make programs, so I have no idea how hard it would be. You'd think something like that would already exist.
