Advent of Code 2020 Solution Megathread - Day 18: Operation Order

Ryan Palo - Dec 18 '20 - - Dev Community

One more week until Christmas! Hopefully all of the code is leaving you extra jolly rather than grinchy. Let's take today to meditate on all of the blessings in our lives. 😊 Also, fun fact: Haskell was the top submitted language yesterday! Go functional languages!

The Puzzle

In today’s puzzle, is all about math. Side note: I 100% knew what the video linked in the beginning of the instructions was going to be before I clicked on it. Math is math! Why would they change math!? Well, today, it's no longer "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally." It's "Left to Right No Matter What. P.S. Suck It."

I'm excited to write this parser. Let's get to it!

The Leaderboards

As always, this is the spot where I’ll plug any leaderboard codes shared from the community.

If you want to generate your own leaderboard and signal boost it a little bit, send it to me either in a DEV message or in a comment on one of these posts and I'll add it to the list above.
