day 1

[purplelemons-dev]

hello! i was working on day one and got to part 2 and ran into some trouble, but i referenced your code and got it to work. my original code looked like:

def part2(lines:str):
    spelt = {
        "one": "1",
        "two": "2",
        ...
    }

    for k,v in spelt.items():
        lines = lines.replace(k,v)

    return part1(lines) # i ensured this handoff works correctly

however, when i changed the replacement to function like your code (lines = lines.replace(k, f"{k}{v}{k}")), it worked just fine. so, my question is: why does replacing spelt-out numbers with "one1one" (in the case of one) work, but regular replacement doesn't? this seems unintuitive...

Try running through the logic on the string "twone" and see what happens.
