MODERATORS
 

Welcome everyone to the 2023 advent of code! Thank you all for stopping by and participating in it in programming.dev whether youre new to the event or doing it again.

This is an unofficial community for the event as no official spot exists on lemmy but ill be running it as best I can with Sigmatics modding as well. Ill be running a solution megathread every day where you can share solutions with other participants to compare your answers and to see the things other people come up with


Day 1: Trebuchet?!


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Python 3

I'm trying to practice writing clear, commented, testable functions, so I added some things that are strictly unnecessary for the challenge (docstrings, error raising, type hints, tests...), but I think it's a necessary exercise for me. If anyone has comments or criticism about my attempt at "best practices," please let me know!

Also, I thought it was odd that the correct answer to part 2 requires that you allow for overlapping letters such as "threeight", but that doesn't occur in the sample input. I imagine that many people will hit a wall wondering why their answer is rejected.
