do i have to use a file?
yeah that's the best way in my opinion

you're right that line 2 does draw your attention to something, but it doesn't illustrate that you should be interpreting the digits on that line as ||823|| and not as ||8wo3|| - it doesn't illustrate that it should be interpreted as ||3 digits and not 2||

it's the first entry that has items with characters that overlap

It's academic because it will never occur in the input, but it should be 11 (sixteen -> 16, 161 -> 11)

I don't see this in the docs. The docs state: ||re.findall(): Return all non-overlapping matches of pattern in string, as a list of strings or tuples|| and there's no ||re flag that does this||. I think you have to use ||lookahead in the regular expression itself, right?||

you don't have to, but that's one option, yes

another option is ||scanning the string twice, once forwards and once backwards (and reversing the patterns in the backwards case)||

Is anyone trying this out in Groovy? I can't get this to even set the puzzle input to a variable ```groovy

No one told me about this
edgy hearth
ya you just open filename and readline thats it
minor ivy
ez lets fuckin go
minor ivy
So in my IDE do I make a file with the input it gave me??
minor ivy
i use pycharm
edgy hearth
def trebuchet(filename):
with open(filename, "r") as f:
treb = f.readlines()
trebuchet("/Users/PATH//puzzle.txt")
minor ivy
I know how to open the files from the time I made a web scraper let me send you mine
edgy hearth
Have it like this
edgy hearth
control save it and move to your pycharm then find path with right clicjk
minor ivy
```py
def trebuchet(filename):
with open(filename, "r") as f:
treb =...
What is "with"?
Never seen this before
covert arrow
!with
marsh currentBOT
minor ivy
that seems useless
I just did ```py
def trebuchet(file):
total = 0
open(file.txt, 'r').read()
trebuchet()
thats mine
covert arrow
well, it can't hurt to ensure that your file is always closed
minor ivy
I dont even know what with does, those python explanations are confusing.
it's better when someone explains it themselves
covert arrow
The above code automatically closes file when the with block exits, so you never have to manually do a file.close(). Most connection types, including file readers and database connections, support this.
minor ivy
def trebuchet(file):
total = 0
with open(file.txt, 'r').read():
for number in file.txt```this good?
covert arrow
you would normally use it like this: ```py
with open(...) as file:
data = file.read()
what is as file?
covert arrow
open(...) as file is like doing file = open(...)
minor ivy
so is mine correct
viscid elbow
no
oblique pasture
Even If It Was Correct, Where Is Data Stored?
minor ivy
in a txt file
oblique pasture
Yeah, But You Cant Have . In Variable Name
covert arrow
well file could be an object with a txt attribute
minor ivy
file.txt?
minor ivy
Dude they're confusing me
oblique pasture
But If You Could First Argument Of open Needs To Be String.
Anyway The Syntax Is with open("filename") as file_variable_name:
minor ivy
"I cant have a . in vairbale name"
viscid elbow
file = open('...')
for line in file:
...
file.close()
when using with :
with open('...') as file:
for line in file:
...
stdin?
covert arrow
yeah
oblique pasture
Smort 😮
Didnt Know That D:
covert arrow
mostly because that's what we do in the golf solutions
edgy hearth
its this that is it
def trebuchet(filename):
with open(filename, "r") as f:
treb = f.readlines()
trebuchet("/Users/PATH//puzzle.txt")
then you loop through lines
minor ivy
its this that is it
```py
def trebuchet(filename):
with open(filename, "r")...
What is f???
I dont know how to open a file in python, I don't
oblique pasture
What is f???
Try Looking Over This https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/file-operation
edgy hearth
just copy and don't be so contrarian lol
oblique pasture
its this that is it
```py
def trebuchet(filename):
with open(filename, "r")...
You Can Also Do:
with open(filename) as f:
for line in f:
print(line)
as a junior dev you are way too combative no offnese
covert arrow
Oh wait do you name it "as f" because you can thave . in vairbale names?
"you can't have a . in variable names" was about the open(file.txt, 'r')
oblique pasture
"you can't have a . in variable names" was about the `open(file.txt, 'r')`
Correction: Was About file.txt
Idk He/She Mentioned It Would Be Stored In That Variable, Did I Understand Incorrectly?
covert arrow
yeah, iirc it's roughly equivalent to: ```py
f = open(filename).enter()
try:
...
finally:
f.exit()
guys should I relearn regex for part 2 or just do it using index -1 /+1 etc
edgy hearth
yeah, iirc it's roughly equivalent to: ```py
f = open(filename).__enter__()
try:...
but no one does this
minor ivy
as a junior dev you are way too combative no offnese
I'm trying to understand why, not just copy it and be done.
covert arrow
but no one does this
yeah, because with can do it for you
minor ivy
"you can't have a . in variable names" was about the `open(file.txt, 'r')`
so you change the name of it with the "as"??
edgy hearth
you need the as f to reference the file @minor ivy
oblique pasture
guys should I relearn regex for part 2 or just do it using index -1 /+1 etc
You Dont Need Much Regex For It 🤔
edgy hearth
yes the verbose version is what Code put opposed to with open
minor ivy
you need the as f to reference the file <@683806442012409901>
So you reference it because the name has a "." in it and you change it to somethign else with the "as" key word???
oblique pasture
I Used re.search, But It Only Finds 1 Match. So Ended Up With re.finditer
edgy hearth
You Dont Need Much Regex For It 🤔
you're right but I'm clueless except like [a-zA-Z] / and jumbles of shit
covert arrow
re.findall?
minor ivy
How Do You Know If Its First Last or Whatever
You go through the whole line of letters/ numbers, the first occurence will be easy using the .isdigit() function, the last digit requires you to iterate through the thing to find the last digit.
oblique pasture
For 2nd Part You Can Get Away That Easily Tho

r is for reading

you're reading the file for input, so yes
edgy hearth
open file, read it, traverse line by lline thats it
minor ivy
open file, read it, traverse line by lline thats it
you just use for loop to traverse to it right??
edgy hearth
ya your outer loop will iterate over lines, then you need inner to go through characters

guys i need some help
So I did a for loop and then another one inside that one to first get every line then the elements inside of every line.
def treb(file):
total = 0
with open("file.txt", 'r') as aoc:
readcontent = aoc.readlines()
for line in readcontent:
first_number = 0
current_line = []
for index in range(len(line)):
if line[index].isdigit():
current_line.append(line[index])
first_number = index
break
for i in range(len(line)-1, first_number, -1):
if line[index].isdigit():
current_line.append(line[i])
elif line[index] == first_number:
current_line.append(line[i])
How will I make it where it'll combine the 2 elements in the list
Like I have [1,3,4,5,8,7,9,0] for example
and I want to make it combine 1 and 3 which will be 13, 4 and 5 which will be 45 and so on because the rest of the code should work and bring in all the numbers from every line (the first and last occurence of one)

You probably want to do a more simple approach than a nested for loop
minor ivy
the nested for loop is like the easiest way to approach it I dont see any easier way

and actually, for aoc2019, i believe we had to find an input that would cause our interpreter to halt. or something like that
tepid cairn
oh huh

what if the input activates another input, terminates, and that input eventually...
is it considered halting
hidden musk
wdym "activates an input"

I feel like this was a hard day 1. Is that just me or is this a general consensus?
hidden musk
the latter

thank god everyone else thinks day 1 is hard
at least in Python part 1 is pretty easy -- maybe a day 2/3 challenge though
part 2 is insane for day 1
sharp panther
I don't think part 2 was honestly that bad to solve, it just had an edge case most didn't anticipate
hollow summit
solving that edge case was the hard part
sharp panther
depends on how hacky you were willing to be :)

I tried to do it in Excel but gave up. I thought I was better at Excel than I am. I think the main problem was the need for recursion
lusty rover
Why do you need recursion?

Might not have needed it but it was the easiest way I could think of. Can't give spoilers in this chat tho

It was the ambiguity that got me, had four arguably valid solutions (three? Or was it really two plus a buggy version?I dunno, I put it away)

Eh, that’d be a hint right? (Don’t want to discuss solution here

I'm more asking if there is ambiguity that isn't disambiguated by the sample

(aoc_helper[full] for CLI)
hallow birch
I tried aoc lube but couldnt setup dir
Said it had no module named setup_dir
hallow birch
Aoc-kit works alright but I have to set it up each day
earnest forge
(I don't know if you like fluent style, but aoc_helper has that for lists and iterators)
Does aoc-kit even have auto-submission? @hallow birch Doesn't look like it does from its readme
earnest forge
Fair enough
I think aoc_helper might be the only library that attempts parsing the sample cases lol
probably because it's quite hard LOL

it's because it's a function not a module
mossy basin
import aoc_lube
aoc_lube.setup_dir(2023)
I still think that's a poor design choice
mossy basin
well, i didn't write aoc_lube for you
earnest forge
(also does that not allow for partial directory init?)
mossy basin
i don't know what that means
earnest forge
aoc template 2-25
If someone already has some days completed (without the library) they may want to init only the days they haven't already got
mossy basin
it already skips over files if they exist
