python
I didn’t realize it was december until this afternoon. I’ve generally chosen a new or spartan lang to challenge myself, but I’m going easy mode this year with python and just focusing on meeting the requirement.
solution
import aoc
def setup():
lines = aoc.get_lines(1)
l = [int(x.split()[0]) for x in lines]
r = [int(x.split()[1]) for x in lines]
return (l, r, 0)
def one():
l, r, acc = setup()
for p in zip(sorted(l), sorted(r)):
acc += abs(p[0] - p[1])
print(acc)
def two():
l, r, acc = setup()
for n in l:
acc += n * r.count(n)
print(acc)
one()
two()
