I've solved part 2 multiple times now, but small intricacies keep popping up every time.
I'm stuck on one of these intricacies now! I saw some of the ideas on how other people did it but i honestly have no clue what i did wrong. Got any tricky examples to share?
I just solved it. I printed every set of integers in the format "Result: [theTwoDigits], from string: [inputString]" and mannually checked all of them. Eventually found the edge case that was causing troubles. It was a typo.
Oh god, sorry to hear that 😅i'm feeling desperate enough to try that, i just wrote a different implementation and i get the same (wrong) result. At this point I just want to know what i misunderstood or mistyped cuz its driving me crazy
