Advent of Code 2021 Python Solution: Day 8

First part was very easy but for the second part, I took little help from here.

Solution

def permutation(li: list):
    all_ps = set()
    psl = np.prod(np.linspace(1,len(li), len(li)).astype(int))


    while len(all_ps)!=psl:
        curr_ps = np.random.choice(range(len(li)), len(li), replace=False)
        curr_ps = "".join([li[i] for i in curr_ps])
        all_ps.add(curr_ps)
    return all_ps

all_ps = permutation("abcdefg")

d = {
    "abcefg": 0,
    "cf": 1,
    "acdeg": 2,
    "acdfg": 3,
    "bcdf": 4,
    "abdfg": 5,
    "abdefg": 6,
    "acf": 7,
    "abcdefg": 8,
    "abcdfg": 9,
}

cnts = {2:1, 4:4, 3:7, 7:8}

sol1 = 0
sol2 = 0

for row in data1:
    signals, output = row.split("|")
    signals = [s.strip() for s in signals.strip().split(" ")]
    output = [s.strip() for s in output.strip().split(" ")]    

    for o in output:
        l = len(o)
        if ls.get(l):

            sol1+=1

    for pr in all_ps:
        to = str.maketrans("abcdefg", pr)
        ts = ["".join(sorted(sig.translate(to))) for sig in signals]
        top = ["".join(sorted(op.translate(to))) for op in output]

        if all(code in d for code in ts):
            sol2 += int("".join(str(d[code]) for code in top))            
            break
sol1, sol2  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Later I knew there is actually a python generator permutation inside itertools.

Why not read more?
