Assignment 6

Due: Nov 10 by 11:55 pm (London ON time)

Complete both Part 1 and Part 2 of Advent of Code 2015 Day 6.

Hints:

• You can use a 1000x1000 2D matrix to represent the grid of lights

• Here is some python code you can use to load in the input file, and for each line, split the instructions into a list of items:

  with open("A6_input.txt") as fp:
    for line in fp:
        e = line.strip().split(" ")
        print(e)

  You will need some if statements to determine which instruction it is, and how to act on them.

• Remember to add 1 to the second x-coordinate and the second y-coordinate, to handle how Python indexes into arrays. For example, Z[0:5] results in the first, second, third, and fourth values of the array Z. To get the first 5 values you would have to use Z[0:6].
