Link to Day #1 puzzle.
Count the number of times a measurement increases from one to the next. Part two uses a sliding window of three measurements.
python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
with open(sys.argv[1]) as input:
lines = input.readlines()
numbers = [int(line.strip()) for line in lines]
# Part 1
print(sum(y > x for x, y in zip(numbers[:-1], numbers[1:])))
# Part 2
print(sum(y > x for x, y in zip(numbers[:-3], numbers[3:])))
