❔ input string is not correct format
Context: I was playing around the advent-of-code posted by someone else, a line of his code kept giving me this error
ìnput string is not correct format I tried tryparse etc but to no avail. The precise error position is at line 15 the full code is here: https://github.com/bradwilson/advent-2022/blob/main/day15/Program.cs
I read a lot of SO posts about the input not converted to int (which triggered the error)
, but here he uses so would it be enough for the input to be parsed int? (this is my uneducated guess)GitHub

data[0] is the entire first line of the input file
you can do
Console.WriteLine(data[0]); before the Parse to see itMore specifically, that exception occurs whenever you try to parse a string which cannot be parsed for one reason or another.

var data then? If so, could you kindly give me some hints to parse the entire var, not just the first line [0]?
