Day 15: Lens Library

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/ , pastebin, or github (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)

    This felt … too simple. I think the hardest part of part two for me was reading comprehension. My errors were typically me not reading exactly was there.

    Python 
    import re
import math
import argparse
import itertools

def int_hash(string:str) -> int:
    hash = 0
    for c in [*string]:
        hash += ord(c)
        hash *= 17
        hash = hash % 256
    return hash

class Instruction:
    def __init__(self,string:str) -> None:
        label,action,strength = re.split('([-=])',string)
        self.label = label
        self.action = action
        if not strength:
            strength = 0
        self.strength = int(strength)
    
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return f"Instruction(l={self.label}, a={self.action}, s={self.strength})"
    
    def __str__(self) -> str:
        stren = str(self.strength if self.strength > 0 else '')
        return f"{self.label}{self.action}{stren}"


class Lens:
    def __init__(self,label:str,focal_length:int) -> None:
        self.label:str = label
        self.focal_length:int = focal_length

    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return f"Lens(label:{self.label},focal_length:{self.focal_length})"
    
    def __str__(self) -> str:

        if len(existing_lens) > 1:
            raise Exception("multiple of same lens in box, what do?")
        match action.action:
            case '-':
                if len(existing_lens) == 1:
                    current_list.remove(existing_lens[0])
            case '=':
                if len(existing_lens) == 0:
                    current_list.append(Lens(action.label,action.strength))
                if len(existing_lens) == 1:
                    existing_lens[0].focal_length = action.strength
            case _:

    for i,focal_box in focal_array.items():
        for l,lens in enumerate(focal_box):
