Advent of Code - Day 9
Part 1
raw_sample = "2333133121414131402"
A disk map like 12345 would represent a one-block file, two blocks of free space, a three-block file, four blocks of free space, and then a five-block file. A disk map like 90909 would represent three nine-block files in a row (with no free space between them).
Each file on disk also has an ID number based on the order of the files as they appear before they are rearranged, starting with ID 0. So, the disk map 12345 has three files: a one-block file with ID 0, a three-block file with ID 1, and a five-block file with ID 2. Using one character for each block where digits are the file ID and . is free space, the disk map 12345 represents these individual blocks:
0..111….22222 The first example above, 2333133121414131402, represents these individual blocks:
00…111…2…333.44.5555.6666.777.888899
The amphipod would like to move file blocks one at a time from the end of the disk to the leftmost free space block (until there are no gaps remaining between file blocks). For the disk map 12345, the process looks like this:
0..111….22222 02.111….2222. 022111….222.. 0221112…22… 02211122..2…. 022111222……
Continuing the first example, the first few blocks’ position multiplied by its file ID number are 0 0 = 0, 1 0 = 0, 2 9 = 18, 3 9 = 27, 4 * 8 = 32, and so on. In this example, the checksum is the sum of these, 1928.
Compact the amphipod’s hard drive using the process he requested. What is the resulting filesystem checksum?

Part 2
Attempt to move whole files to the leftmost span of free space blocks that could fit the file. Attempt to move each file exactly once in order of decreasing file ID number starting with the file with the highest file ID number. If there is no span of free space to the left of a file that is large enough to fit the file, the file does not move.
The first example from above now proceeds differently:
00...111...2...333.44.5555.6666.777.888899
0099.111...2...333.44.5555.6666.777.8888..
0099.1117772...333.44.5555.6666.....8888..
0099.111777244.333....5555.6666.....8888..
00992111777.44.333....5555.6666.....8888..
The process of updating the filesystem checksum is the same; now, this example’s checksum would be 2858.
