There are some confusing points in terminology now. At the moment, term 'hour' and 'time' are used without clear definition. Therefore, I would like to introduce some new terms and definitions to make it clear.
Time is a moment in a day which can be represented in HH:mm format. e.g.) 16:30
Hour WILL NOT have any meaning other than time unit which is equal to 60 minutes.
Period is an unit interval between two times. Each of days in a week has same number of periods. e.g.) Second period on Wednesday.
(Course) Class is a set of consecutive periods in one day. A course has 0+ classes. It is possible for a course to have more than one class in a day. A class may also have its location data.
e.g.) Course 'Software Engineering' has two classes: one at 16:00~17:30 on Tuesday, and another at 10:30~12:00 on Thursday.
Free period(s) in a timetable is the number of in-between periods without classes.
Free hour(s) in a timetable is the amount of free periods which is represented in hours.
