Santa's Accounting-Elves need help balancing the books after a recent order. Unfortunately, their accounting software uses a peculiar storage format. That's where you come in.
They have a JSON document which contains a variety of things: arrays ([1,2,3]
), objects ({"a":1, "b":2}
), numbers, and strings. Your first job is to simply find all of the numbers throughout the document and add them together.
For example:
[1,2,3]
and{"a":2,"b":4}
both have a sum of6
.[[[3]]]
and{"a":{"b":4},"c":-1}
both have a sum of3
.{"a":[-1,1]}
and[-1,{"a":1}]
both have a sum of0
.[]
and{}
both have a sum of0
.
You will not encounter any strings containing numbers.
What is the sum of all numbers in the document?
Your puzzle answer was 119433
.
The first half of this puzzle is complete! It provides one gold star: *
Uh oh - the Accounting-Elves have realized that they double-counted everything red.
Ignore any object (and all of its children) which has any property with the value "red"
. Do this only for objects ({...}
), not arrays ([...]
).
[1,2,3]
still has a sum of6
.[1,{"c":"red","b":2},3]
now has a sum of4
, because the middle object is ignored.{"d":"red","e":[1,2,3,4],"f":5}
now has a sum of0
, because the entire structure is ignored.[1,"red",5]
has a sum of6
, because"red"
in an array has no effect.
