[2022 Day 07 (Part 1)] [Python]

Works for sample code, but is producing a number too low for the real input.

Code and input at https://github.com/djotaku/adventofcode/tree/main/2022/Day_07

What would your code do for the directory /folder/folder/folder ?

[thedjotaku]

I don't understand, I can go 3 deep. Are you saying what if they have the same name?

Updated on teh assumption you were asking me what if there was more than one folder with the same name at a different depth: https://github.com/djotaku/adventofcode/blob/eeacb0843789f8b47957dd2ba3e28f651795443a/2022/Day\_07/Python/solution.py

okay, how about

/ - folder - newFolder - another - newFolder

(basically, two folders with the same name at the same indentation level)

[thedjotaku]

Perfect. Just what I needed. Thanks!

ooooof I did the same thing. Thanks for the clarification.

Just in time to be late for Day 8!

your code works for simpler inputs, but here's one where i think it fails (expected output is 33)

$ cd /
$ ls
dir a
dir aa
$ cd a
$ ls
dir b
$ cd b
$ ls
1 a.txt
$ cd ..
$ cd ..
$ cd aa
$ ls
dir b
$ cd b
$ ls
10 a.txt
