More grid stuff and two-dimensional problem solving, I like it!
The first part just requires extracting the numbers and operators, transposing the grid and summing/multiplying the numbers.
The second part is also not too hard. I just search for the numbers in the transposed grid, making sure to leave out the last column. That one might contain an operator ("+" or "*"). Remember it for later. If the entire row is made of spaces, we have finished parsing a math problem. Just remember to account for the last one! ๐
As with part one, just reduce the found problems and we're done!
This solution requires the trailing spaces to be present in the input files. I had to disable an option in my IDE to prevent it from breaking my nice solution.
