“Advent of Code is a series of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill levels.”
Each day was a fun an interesting coding challenge. I’ve decided to practice and code this in python to learn the skill. Some of them might not be the best python scripting as I was short on time in some days but still wanted to complete the task. Not always the output from the script is a direct answer to the daily challenge, sometimes it’s not the fastest solution possible.
