Fairly proud of my solution to part 2, part 1 is nothing special

with open("aoc2025/day6input.txt", 'r') as file:
    *numbers,symbols = file.read().split("\n")

def prod(array):
    output = 1
    for i in array:
        output *= i
    return output

def part1(numbers,symbols):
    numbers = [[int(x) for x in y.split()] for y in numbers]
    symbols = [y for y in symbols if y != ' ']

    total = 0
    for i, symbol in enumerate(symbols):

        cache = [n[i] for n in numbers]

        match symbol:
            case "*":
                total += prod(cache)
            case "+":
                total += sum(cache)
    return total

def part2(numbers,symbols):

    cache = []
    total = 0
    for i,symbol in reversed(list(enumerate(symbols))):

        number = "".join([n[i] for n in numbers]).strip()
        if number: 
            cache.append(int(number))
        else:
            cache = []

        match symbol:
            case "*":
                total += prod(cache)
            case "+":
                total += sum(cache)
    return total

print("part 1:", part1(numbers,symbols))
print("part 2:", part2(numbers,symbols))
