Advent of Code, day 2

We made it to Day 2 of Advent of Code I have kept my promise for 2 days in a row. As weird as it seems for this day and age, I have kept my promise and today is the day 2 of the Advent of Code, this time with elves involved. There you go, the statement of today's first problem down below: And usual, my solution: import pandas as pd import re import numpy as np filepath = "/content/input 1.txt" with open (filepath, 'r' ) as file :     lines = [line.strip() for line in file .readlines()] lines_split = [] for line in lines:   token = re.findall(r '\w+|[^\s\w]' , line)   lines_split.append(token) blue_list = [] green_list = [] red_list = [] for line in lines_split:   blue,green,red = 0 , 0 , 0   for ix, word in enumerate (line):     if word == "blue" :       if blue < int (line[ix -1 ]):         blue = int (line[ix -1 ])     if word == "green" :       if green < int (line[ix -1 ]):         green = int (line[ix -1 ])

Advent of Code, day 1

 Day 1 of the Advent of Code A bit late for Christmas, isn't it? It's been a long time since I did my last post, some days of boredom have inspired me to get back at it. I am going to be trying to solve the last Christmas' Advent of Code. For those that you don't know the Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles that can be solved the way you like, each day contains two puzzles in which the first is linked to the second. If you want to get more info about it, check out this link:  https://adventofcode.com/2023/about Without further ado, let's get at it, I'm going to copy down below the statement for the Day 1 Statement Input Basically we are given a long list of characters (the one shown in the picture) where each line contains numbers and letters, we first need to get just the numbers, then store somewhere else the first and last numbers in each row, and lastly sum all those values.
