This is how I prototyped part 2 haha
In this version, the function which calculates the max "joltage" in the line calculates each of the 12 digits separately. This makes it clear what changes in each operation: the starting index of each search is one more than the index of the previously found digit, and the end is the length of the input line minus how many digits are still to be found, which is the total, 12, counting down to 1. (It counts down to 1, not zero, because the length is one more than the index of the last digit.)
