Odd behaviour when adding Date[] into Date[][] in Typescript/Javascript [duplicate]

So I need to calculate a set of time intervals like this: [8:00 - 8:10] I decided to use a Date type for this and wrote this piece of code to test things:

let todaysDate = new Date();
let startTime: Date = new Date(todaysDate.setHours(5, 0, 0));
let endTime: Date = new Date(todaysDate.setHours(6, 0, 0));
let start : number = startTime.getTime();
let interval: number = 600000;

let firstTime = new Date(startTime.getTime());
let secondTime = new Date(startTime.getTime() + interval);

let timeIntervalsArray: Date[][] = [];

while (secondTime.getTime() < endTime.getTime()) {
    firstTime.setTime(start);
    secondTime.setTime(firstTime.getTime() + interval);

    const times: Date[] = [firstTime, secondTime];
    timeIntervalsArray.push(times);
    start += interval;
}

console.log(timeIntervalsArray);

But when logging the timeIntervalsArray variable I get that all variables in array are the same:

[LOG]: 
[[Date: "2023-04-22T05:50:00.722Z", Date: "2023-04-22T06:00:00.722Z"], 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:50:00.722Z", Date: "2023-04-22T06:00:00.722Z"], 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:50:00.722Z", Date: "2023-04-22T06:00:00.722Z"], 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:50:00.722Z", Date: "2023-04-22T06:00:00.722Z"], 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:50:00.722Z", Date: "2023-04-22T06:00:00.722Z"], 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:50:00.722Z", Date: "2023-04-22T06:00:00.722Z"]]

I managed to fix this behavior by changing this line: const times: Date[] = [firstTime, secondTime]; to this: const times: Date[] = [new Date(firstTime), new Date(secondTime)];

But I don't understand how this works, as if I log as such:

while (secondTime.getTime() < endTime.getTime()) {
    firstTime.setTime(start);
    secondTime.setTime(firstTime.getTime() + interval);

    //Logging firstTime
    console.log(firstTime);
    console.log('As new date', new Date(firstTime));
    //

    const times: Date[] = [firstTime, secondTime];
    timeIntervalsArray.push(times);
    start += interval;
}

I get the same Data object:

[LOG]: Date: "2023-04-22T05:00:00.718Z" 
[LOG]: "As new date",  Date: "2023-04-22T05:00:00.718Z"

What is more odd - when logging the timeIntervalsArray itself:

while (secondTime.getTime() < endTime.getTime()) {
    firstTime.setTime(start);
    secondTime.setTime(firstTime.getTime() + interval);

    //Logging timeInterval
    console.log(timeIntervalsArray);
    //
    
    const times: Date[] = [firstTime, secondTime];
    timeIntervalsArray.push(times);
    start += interval;
}

Fist iteration : [LOG]: [] -> array is empty 
Second iteration : 
[LOG]: [[Date: "2023-04-22T05:10:00.241Z", Date: "2023-04-22T05:20:00.241Z"]] 
-> array has one element - [Date: "2023-04-22T05:10:00.241Z", Date: "2023-04-22T05:20:00.241Z"]

Third iteration : 
[LOG]: [[Date: "2023-04-22T05:20:00.241Z", Date: "2023-04-22T05:30:00.241Z"], 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:20:00.241Z", Date: "2023-04-22T05:30:00.241Z"]] 
-> the fist element has been changed to 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:20:00.241Z", Date: "2023-04-22T05:30:00.241Z"]
but it was 
[Date: "2023-04-22T05:10:00.241Z", Date: "2023-04-22T05:20:00.241Z"]

Can somebody explain this behavior because I am out of ideas...

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
