Advent of Code 2020 (Python)

Ryan's Advent of Code 2020 Repo 🎄🌟

This year, I'm trying out Python 3.9, which is the latest version at time of writing.

I had debated choosing a different language. TypeScript, C/C++, C# and Rust were all on the table. I was close to picking either TS or C.

Goal 🥅

I figured it was better to check out some of the newer features of Python 3 (if possible). A lot of these puzzles I'll try to be focused on "cranking it out." As such, certain aspects will get more attention than others. For example, if a puzzle is taking a long, long time to process, the priority may be speed. If I'm quickly trying to solve a problem, the priority may be speed writing.

It will be an interesting time to explore optimizations, suggestions, third-party modules and functions I have been unfamiliar with. And in conclusion, my goals are to:

• Learn by discovery & from others
• Have fun
• Complete more puzzles than ever (aka less procrastination! 😜)
