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)
  • 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

    Python

    Also took advantage of cmp_to_key.

    from functools import cmp_to_key
    from pathlib import Path
    
    
    def parse_input(input: str) -> tuple[dict[int, list[int]], list[list[int]]]:
        rules, updates = tuple(input.strip().split("\n\n")[:2])
        order = {}
        for entry in rules.splitlines():
            values = entry.split("|")
            order.setdefault(int(values[0]), []).append(int(values[1]))
        updates = [[int(v) for v in u.split(",")] for u in updates.splitlines()]
        return (order, updates)
    
    
    def is_ordered(update: list[int], order: dict[int, list[int]]) -> bool:
        return update == sorted(
            update, key=cmp_to_key(lambda a, b: 1 if a in order.setdefault(b, []) else -1)
        )
    
    
    def part_one(input: str) -> int:
        order, updates = parse_input(input)
        return sum([u[len(u) // 2] for u in (u for u in updates if is_ordered(u, order))])
    
    
    def part_two(input: str) -> int:
        order, updates = parse_input(input)
        return sum(
            [
                sorted(u, key=cmp_to_key(lambda a, b: 1 if a in order[b] else -1))[
                    len(u) // 2
                ]
                for u in (u for u in updates if not is_ordered(u, order))
            ]
        )
    
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        input = Path("input").read_text("utf-8")
        print(part_one(input))
        print(part_two(input))
