stringname.splitlines()

So, the way it is presented, maze is the string variable that holds the maze. If you create a list called splitmaze, for example, you could:

splitmaze = maze.splitlines()

same

apparently omitting var is very bad practice in the js, gotta lay off the python

You asked what's BFS/DFS. You don't want the explanation.

You didn't ask for "input" (neither specify what you mean by this). You want to receive some "input".

What?

I was actually hoping for someone to provide original input and enrich the conversation

DFS, BFS

I don't mean to hijack the thread but what are DFS and BFS, some kind of standard pathfinding algorithms?

Is there a better/faster way to flatten the string into a list of integers?
I could not make python strip the newline characters and use list comprehension

You're my hero. I really need to get comfy with bitwise operations.

I just went around that by using // since we know it's always even
By the way that formula was bloody hard come up with

I find it elegant because of the single loop which does remind me of actual tape :)
It's a bit hard to follow exactly what is going on tho :)

Yeah, I wish it had asked for a few hundred thousand random ones up to a million instead :)

@FArekkusu - A simple "No, I'm sorry if it seemed that way" would have gone much further than another point by point tirade.
I don't mind being corrected and I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong so long as the conversation remains friendly.

On the second one - how about a normal programmer?

I can define "python programmer" as a programmer who does Python.
I can't define "normal programmer". Could you explain what or who a "normal programmer" is?

is there some kind of animosity between us?

I'm sure I haven't said anything offensive to you...

You seem to be going out of your way to correct me and not being overly polite about it

In my previous comment I have stated that you're incorrect about "multiple dict look-ups" and stated my opinion about [::-1] and reversed(). If you think I was correcting you, then I can't help in any way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the first point - I will have to time that before I believe it.
On the second one - how about a normal programmer?
TBH I'm getting a little tired of hearing python has a special way to do X

@FArrekusu - is there some kind of animosity between us? You seem to be going out of your way to correct me and not being overly polite about it.
