  • Part 1 felt fairly pretty simple in Haskell:

    import Data.Char (isDigit)
    
    main = interact solve
    
    solve :: String -> String
    solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . filter isDigit) . lines
    

    Part 2 was more of a struggle, though I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I ended up using concatMap inits . tails to generate all substrings, in order of appearance so one3m becomes ["","o","on","one","one3","one3m","","n","ne","ne3","ne3m","","e","e3","e3m","","3","3m","","m",""]. I then wrote a function stringToDigit :: String -> Maybe Char which simultaneously filtered out the digits and standardised them as Chars.

    import Data.List (inits, tails)
    import Data.Char (isDigit, digitToInt)
    import Data.Maybe (mapMaybe)
    
    main = interact solve
    
    solve :: String -> String
    solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . mapMaybe stringToDigit . concatMap inits . tails) . lines
    --                             |string of first&last digit| |find all the digits |   |all substrings of line|
    
    stringToDigit "one"   = Just '1'
    stringToDigit "two"   = Just '2'
    stringToDigit "three" = Just '3'
    stringToDigit "four"  = Just '4'
    stringToDigit "five"  = Just '5'
    stringToDigit "six"   = Just '6'
    stringToDigit "seven" = Just '7'
    stringToDigit "eight" = Just '8'
    stringToDigit "nine"  = Just '9'
    stringToDigit [x]
      | isDigit x         = Just x
      | otherwise         = Nothing
    stringToDigit _       = Nothing
    

    I went a bit excessively Haskell with it, but I had my fun!
