I probably should read all 3 files though. I’ll hone it out later.
my boring python solution:
from pathlib import Path def main(): input = Path('input.txt').read_text().split('\n') names = input[0].split(',') instructions = input[-1].split(',') print(names,instructions) index = 0 for instruction in instructions: dir = instruction[0] number = int(instruction[1:]) if dir == 'L': index -= number if index < 0: index = 0 else: index += number if index > len(names) - 1: index = len(names) - 1 print(names[index]) index = 0 for instruction in instructions: dir = instruction[0] number = int(instruction[1:]) if dir == 'L': index -= number else: index += number print(names[index%(len(names))]) indexes = list(range(len(names))) for instruction in instructions: dir = instruction[0] number = (int(instruction[1:]) if dir == 'R' else -int(instruction[1:])) % len(names) indexes[0], indexes[number] = indexes[number], indexes[0] print(names[indexes[0]]) if __name__ == "__main__": main()I probably should read all 3 files though.
