Now elves are causing our system to heat up. First part was easy because we only had to loop until 2021 but the second part is insanely huge. First I used normal dictionary and list for first part. And speed was not a problem for first part. But for second part, time we need is 14,851.485 more than for the first part. So after scrolling more and more reddit threads, I knew defaultdict and deque is the best option.
Part 1 and 2
from collections import * def day15(filename, turns): with open(filename) as fp: lines = [l.rstrip() for l in fp.readlines()] lines = [int(l) for l in lines[0].split(",")] num_to_speak = lines[-1] turn_num = defaultdict(deque) for v, k in enumerate(lines): turn_num[k].append(v+1) turn = len(lines)+1 while turn<=turns: l = len(turn_num[num_to_speak]) if l>1: num_to_speak = turn_num[num_to_speak][-1] - turn_num[num_to_speak][-2] turn_num[num_to_speak].append(turn) elif l==1: num_to_speak = 0 turn_num[num_to_speak].append(turn) else: num_to_speak = 0 turn_num[num_to_speak].append(turn) turn+=1 print(num_to_speak) day15("day15.txt", 2020) day15("day15.txt", 30000000) Please share your solution too.

day is lowercase in the name ;-;
Thanks for letting me know.🙂
And also, if you look at the arguments of day15, it takes filename as an argument, but the actual filename is hardcoded to "day15.txt"
Yeah. It happened when i copied all codes and made a method to wrap it. Thank you. I corrected it now.
