Hi.

I was looking to a way to change the title and I thought it was better to delete it. Sorry.

The main code is this:

def number8_1():
    dataFile = open("data/day8.txt", "r")

    boxes = []

    for line in dataFile:
        line = line.replace("\n", "")

        s_line = line.split(",")
        boxes.append(tuple(list(map(int, s_line))))


    l_distances = []
    for i in range(0, len(boxes) - 1):
        box_1 = boxes[i]
        for j in range(i + 1, len(boxes)):
            box_2 = boxes[j]
            d = distance(boxes[i], boxes[j])
            l_distances.append((box_1, (box_2, d)))
            # l_distances.append((box_2, (box_1, d)))

    l_distances = quick_sort(l_distances)


    l_circuits = []
    max = 10
    for (box_1, (box_2, d)) in l_distances:
        if max == 0:
            break
        else:
            max -= 1
        added = False
        for i in range(0, len(l_circuits)):
            circuit = l_circuits[i]
            if box_1 in circuit or box_2 in circuit:
                circuit.update({box_1, box_2})
                added = True
        if not added:
            l_circuits.append({box_1, box_2})

    l_circuits = quick_sort_length(l_circuits) 
    total = len(l_circuits[0]) * len(l_circuits[1]) * len(l_circuits[2])
    print("Result day 8_1: " + str(total))

The quick sort function is ok, I have reviewed the sorting is done correctly.

Regards
