From the About page of Advent of Code -
Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other.

The file for the puzzle input must be located in the same directory as the solution and it must have the name advent-XX-input.txt for Day XX. Simply run python advent-XX.py for Day XX. The program will prompt you to enter either 1 or 2 for answers for Part 1 or Part 2 respectively. For example -
The Cyclomatic Complexity of the solutions can be found in the table below. It is a metric that can be used to calculate the complexity of a program. These values were calculated using radon, which is a tool for Python to calculate code metrics.
Information about radon's usage of it can be found here.

The scores, sourced from the radon documentation here, can be understood as follows -
| CC Score | Rank | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 5 | A |
low - simple block |
| 6 - 10 | B |
low - well structured and stable block |
| 11 - 20 | C |
moderate - slightly complex block |
| 21 - 30 | D |
more than moderate - more complex block |
| 31 - 40 | E |
high - complex block, alarming |
| 41+ | F |
very high - error-prone, unstable block |
