Python

I’m surprised I don’t see more people taking advantage of eval I thought it was pretty slick.

import operator 
import re

with open('input.txt', 'r') as file:
    memory = file.read()

matches = re.findall("mul\(\d{1,3},\d{1,3}\)|don't\(\)|do\(\)", memory)

enabled = 1
filtered_matches = []
for instruction in matches:
    if instruction == "don't()":
        enabled = 0
        continue
    elif instruction == "do()":
        enabled = 1
        continue
    elif enabled: 
        filtered_matches.append(instruction)
multipled = [eval(f"operator.{x}") for x in filtered_matches]
print(sum(multiples))

He literally tried to do this. He tried to push an executive order to go “over the head of different branch(es) of government”.

“What’s stopping him in this specific case?” The Supreme Court stopped him. You know, the judicial branch. It is one of those different branches of government. How did you miss this? It was all over the news.
