365 Days of Daily Coding: Day 97

This blog has been posted after quite sometime. It’s not that I haven’t been working on coding. I just didn’t bother to post about what I had been learning. Since I have completed most of the questions in SQL pad (just have 1 question to solve there) and have been wanting to learn Python for quite sometime, I will be completing challenges on advent of code. They are quite tricky as the days progress. This was introduced to me by a colleague of mine. It’s quite fun having to think about how to solve the puzzles.

Advent of Code Day 1

df_1 = [1539, 1914, 1866, 1407, 1706, 1423, 1834, 1700, 1573, 1486, 1743, 1394, 1693, 1705, 1530, 1811, 1626, 1473, 1901, 1481, 1527, 1841, 1891, 1750, 1343, 1899, 401, 1896, 1627, 1593, 1541, 874, 1484, 1210, 1692, 1963, 1964, 1780, 671, 1862, 1393, 1309, 1740, 1831, 1932, 1185, 1979, 1504, 1663, 1610, 1494, 1511, 1103, 1738, 1816, 1871, 1545, 1595, 1784, 1412, 1815, 1998, 1783, 1770, 1426, 1699, 1416, 1880, 1612, 1989, 1360, 1869, 1762, 1690, 1999, 1990, 1521, 1730, 703, 1463, 1670, 1472, 1413, 1669, 1502, 1548, 1475, 1694, 1314, 1980, 980, 1667, 890, 1569, 1456, 1406, 1924, 1973, 1965, 1533, 1827, 2000, 1847, 1520, 1729, 1512, 1555, 1566, 1505, 1672, 1169, 1835, 1850, 1493, 1861, 1288, 1675, 1676, 1556, 1320, 1757, 1870, 1642, 1903, 1372, 1967, 1894, 176, 1908, 1418, 1535, 1487, 1496, 1491, 1611, 1970, 1758, 1563, 1766, 1629, 1937, 1763, 1829, 1772, 1632, 1517, 1736, 1971, 1721, 1716, 1429, 1408, 1560, 1958, 1359, 1890, 1825, 1536, 1819, 1697, 1887, 1832, 2005, 892, 1471, 1425, 1677, 1673, 1128, 1878, 1062, 1470, 1875, 1854, 1518, 1568, 1919, 256, 1532, 1711, 1944, 1344, 1330, 1636, 1957, 1709, 1551, 1983, 1674, 1671, 1959, 1760, 1689, 1767, 1477, 1589, 1897, 1144, 1982, 1544]
for i in df_1:
    for x in df_1:
        if i + x == 2020: 
            prod = i*x
            print(prod)

The best part of solving the challenges is that you get to see how others have solved the same challenge and there’s plenty of people who have shared their solutions.

I also discovered a new SQL training ground called 8weekschallenge so I will be solving the challenges there as well. There is a discord server for the community and it will be useful in case I have any roadblocks.
