Advent of Code 2020 day 8

Advent of Code 2020 day 8. Happy with the logic, but not particularly happy with the implementation: lots of while loops and if statements that all look the same when you squint at the code.

Rather than reuse the same Console object for each iteration in part two and reset it’s state, I wish I’d created a new object for each iteration. But this works and I’m behind, so on to day 9.

            (line.strip().split()[0], int(line.strip().split()[1]))

            in raw_input.strip().splitlines()
        ]
