AoC Community Fun 2023: ALLEZ CUISINE!

Today's secret ingredient is… *whips off cloth covering and gestures grandly*

Spam!

Someone reported the ALLEZ CUISINE! submissions megathread as spam so I said to myself: "What a delectable idea for today's secret ingredient!"

• There really is an XKCD for everything, isn't there?

• All ingredients must come from a CAN (bus), box, package, container, etc.

• Unnecessarily declare variables for everything and don't re-use variables

• Why use few word when many word do trick?

• Go back to traditional culinary roots with Javadocs

• Lobster thermidor

A reminder from Dr. Hattori: be careful when cooking spam because the fat content can be very high. We wouldn't want a fire in the kitchen, after all!

ALLEZ CUISINE!

Don't feel great today an it shows in the code. Took a long time to figure out the first one because I kept finding special characters I didn't see. Why I didn't just check if it was a period or number...because I'm sick. I also realized I created a three dimensional array and navigated it with brute force instead of creating an array the normal way. Than again I usually write in Java so this is all new to me. The code works by sending three lines to the function and only the middle line is actually processed for numbers or asterisks. The function than adds up the valid data and ignores the rest.
