For day one, how do I take all my input numbers and put it into code?

urban locust For day one, how do I take all my input numbers and put it into code?

save/download it as a text file, then open that file using with open(...) as file: and use one either of A, B, C (the with line is required no matter which you go for) to read it```py
with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
# A
for line in file:
...
# B
data = file.read()
# C
data = file.readlines()

#

see the channel description though

urban locust Dec 3, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

Ah I see, thanks

#

I should've read the description first, sorry

None

#

Not really that helpful imo

tepid cairn Dec 3, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

I'd like not having to download or copy+paste the input file, at least. A few commonly used utility functions will be nice to have as well, but thats sort of where more-itertools comes in

flat sequoia Dec 3, 2022, 9:02 PM

I just have a simple run script that checks what day it is and runs the right file

Yeah I find that most often all I use of aoc_helper is fetch() (part of the template), extract_ints() (imported by default in the template), lazy_submit() (part of the template), and the fluent utils (list, iter, range, irange, imported by default in the template)

flat sequoia Dec 3, 2022, 9:05 PM

Is it that hard to type [int(x) for x in f.read().splitlines()] or something

scripts and other things to help with AoC tasks you don't want to waste time on, like downloading the inputs

tepid cairn Dec 3, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

urban locust What is an AoC helper?

a script/library that'll automatically fetch inputs and submit solutions for you, mixed in with some other utilities

urban locust Dec 3, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

Ah, cool

broken cradle Dec 3, 2022, 10:40 PM

I've managed to setup mine so I just need to run pdm test and it'll run the solutions for the current day

#

idk if I want to take the time to figure out how to make it actually test it against examples though

long egret Dec 3, 2022, 10:42 PM

i'm going all out with it

it'll have a CLI for it, fetch the inputs for you, and submit for you as well

oh The wc utility displays the number of lines, words, and bytes contained in each input file, or standard input (if no file is specified) to the standard output. A line is defined as a string of characters delimited by a ⟨newline⟩ character. Characters beyond the final ⟨newline⟩ character will not be included in the line count.

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

open magnet I've tried day 4 puzzle too many times and now it doesnt tell me if im too high ...

If not, heres my code. Works for the sample data but not mine https://paste.pythondiscord.com/awunejuyuz

open magnet Dec 4, 2022, 3:40 PM

elfin timber strip is optional on the aoc inputs but yes

Shouldn’t you strip the ‘\n’ from each line?

hidden musk Dec 4, 2022, 3:40 PM

#

if you split on "\n" that happens

elfin timber Dec 4, 2022, 3:40 PM

#

open magnet Shouldn’t you strip the ‘\n’ from each line?

isnt that the split function

#

strip removes whitespace from the start and end of the string

#

and the AoC inputs dont have any whitespace

#

at the start and end

hidden musk Dec 4, 2022, 3:41 PM

#

but there is sometimes a spurious newline at the end

elfin timber Dec 4, 2022, 3:41 PM

hidden musk but there is sometimes a spurious newline at the end

ah fair
idk ive done 4 of them so far and didnt use .strip and it worked but ur probs right then 4 isnt the best sample size

It is, model trains like that, it's just gotten good at it

rapid wolf Dec 4, 2022, 4:15 PM

it is more or less a bruteforce. The AI cannot consistently produce a solution, just sometimes manages and then you get a good placement

just trying algorithms until something sticks

polar sand Dec 4, 2022, 4:29 PM

Luckily dev jobs don't have small clearly defined problems as their everyday job and instead you have clients in non-technical roles and you have to go back and forth with them to try and clearly define project requirements

Well here is what gpt-3 thinks about this 😂

GPT-3 thoughts on the subject

"It is generally not considered ethical to use a large language model like me to solve competitive challenges or contests that require original thought or creativity. These challenges are typically designed to test the skills and abilities of the participants, and using a language model like me to generate answers or solutions would give an unfair advantage over other participants who are solving the challenges on their own.

Furthermore, using a language model like me to solve competitive challenges could potentially violate the terms of service or rules of the contest, and could result in disqualification or other consequences. It is important to respect the rules and guidelines of the contest, and to compete fairly and honestly.

In general, it is best to avoid using a language model like me to solve competitive challenges, and to focus on using your own skills and abilities to solve the challenges in a fair and ethical manner."

there might be a lot of sweaty cs underclassmen actually hmm

i haven't really interacted with them tho

compact wasp Dec 4, 2022, 6:41 PM

cs is either the most cracked people in the school or someone who couldn't decide on a major

torn thorn Dec 4, 2022, 6:42 PM

fr

#

too competitive for colleges 😔

compact wasp Dec 4, 2022, 6:42 PM

cs is one of the few fields that's easy to start before college

torn thorn Dec 4, 2022, 6:42 PM

i mean

buisness you can self startup

compact wasp Dec 4, 2022, 6:43 PM

for other stems, you generally don't have access to lab equipment

torn thorn Dec 4, 2022, 6:47 PM

other half is actually dealing with real world stuff :L

#

i guess tldr a lot of things you do with computers is easy to start pre college

#

or don't need physical equipment

compact wasp Dec 4, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

cs is one of the easiest to get into, but ironically, that's exactly what makes it the most competitive

torn thorn Dec 4, 2022, 6:49 PM

brilliantly summed up kek

#

i still do think like business is easy to get started in with startups

#

idk if i worded that right

#

maybe why it's also really popular

business is also competitive, idk about the academic aspect of it, but in the real world…

torn thorn Dec 4, 2022, 6:51 PM

academically it is pretty competitive

one of the "hot" majors afaik

alongside engineering and cs

If you used an installer for python from the website, you can run the uninstaller to remove everything. If you installed python from the windows store you can uninstall it from the app mangager within windows. If you are wanting to uninstall individual packages, I personally don't know how to do that.
