Allocate A Pair Of Numbers

Overview

This Pre-Built consists of a JST document that finds the first available consecutive pair of numbers from a given starting integer, a given ending integer, and a given array of already allocated integers (allocated).

For instance, a range is defined by start and end values: ex: 0 through 255. These values are assumed for the following examples.

Example 1: allocated: [12,200,199,0,2,4,100,101,150]. The output from this JST is an object containing the next available consecutive pair of numbers availible in the range. { "assigned": [5,6] }.

Example 2: allocated: [187,19,0,1,2,18,10,140] The output for this JST will be { "assigned": [3,4] }.

In case the range is all allocated, the output object will be: { "assigned": false }

Example use cases when this JST can be used: an array of ports, an array of IP addresses (can only handle 1 quadrant: 0-255), etc.

Estimated Run Time: depends on the size of the array. usually within second(s)
