The problem

You are given several logs, where each log contains a unique ID and timestamp. Timestamp is a string that has the following format: Year:Month:Day:Hour:Minute:Second, for example, 2017:01:01:23:59:59.

Example

Input
["LogSystem", "put", "put", "put", "retrieve", "retrieve"]
Output
[null, null, null, null, [3, 2, 1], [2, 1]]
Explanation
LogSystem logSystem = new LogSystem();

Python solution

Python
class LogSystem:
    def __init__(self):
        self.logs = []
        self.d = {
            "Year": 4,
            "Month": 7,
            "Day": 10,
            "Hour": 13,
            "Minute": 16,
            "Second": 19,
        }

    def put(self, id: int, timestamp: str) -> None:
        self.logs.append((id, timestamp))

    def retrieve(self, start: str, end: str, granularity: str) -> List[int]:
        i = self.d[granularity]
        return [id for id, ts in self.logs if start[:i] <= ts[:i] <= end[:i]]


# Your LogSystem object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = LogSystem()
# obj.put(id,timestamp)
# param_2 = obj.retrieve(start,end,granularity)
