- 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)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Kotlin
Just the standard Regex stuff. I found this website to be very helpful to write the patterns. (Very useful in general)
fun main() { fun part1(input: List<String>): Int = Regex("""mul\(\d+,\d+\)""").findAll(input.joinToString()).sumOf { with(Regex("""\d+""").findAll(it.value)) { this.first().value.toInt() * this.last().value.toInt() } } fun part2(input: List<String>): Int { var isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = true // by default return Regex("""mul\(\d+,\d+\)|do\(\)|don't\(\)""").findAll(input.joinToString()).fold(0) { acc, instruction -> when (instruction.value) { "do()" -> acc.also { isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = true } "don't()" -> acc.also { isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = false } else -> { if (isMultiplyInstructionEnabled) { acc + with(Regex("""\d+""").findAll(instruction.value)) { this.first().value.toInt() * this.last().value.toInt() } } else acc } } } } val testInputPart1 = readInput("Day03_test_part1") val testInputPart2 = readInput("Day03_test_part2") check(part1(testInputPart1) == 161) check(part2(testInputPart2) == 48) val input = readInput("Day03") part1(input).println() part2(input).println() } ´´´
