Part-A in Python: https://github.com/pbui/advent-of-code-2023/blob/master/day01/day01-A.py
Was able to use a list comprehension to read the input.
Part-B in Python: https://github.com/pbui/advent-of-code-2023/blob/master/day01/day01-B.py
This was trickier...
Hint
You have to account for overlapping words such as:eightwo
. This actually simplifies things as you just need to go letter by letter and check if it is a digit or one of the words.Update: Modified Part 2 to be more functional again by using a
map
before Ifilter
Re. your hint, that's funny because I skipped the obvious optimization of skipping over matched letters out of laziness, but it would've actually broken the solution.
