For checkers, you might want to think along the line what data structure is the easiest to decide if a "jump" is available. The goal is to count the potential jumps, not to simulate the checker board. You only need to evaluate one move: say (1,5) is your position, the only possible jump is your opponent occupies (2,4) or (2,6). So you only need to check if (2,4) or (2,6) is occupied. If yes, then check (4,2) and (4,4) if (2,4) is occupied; or (4,6) and (4,8) if (2,6) is occupied. Running through all the number pairs and update a counter accordingly would give you the result.

Notice you have: line1 = int(line1) before the for loop.

The error message says because you have turned line1 into "int", you can't use line1[0] to refer to the first number.

e.g. if the input is "1,1,5,2,2,6,4,6", after replace(",", ""), line1-"11522646", then you set it as int, which is 11522646, now line1 is an int. You can't use line1[0] to get 1.

Thank you all. It's fun to read your work...

SC, both sample and test data run just fine. Now it's time to think about how to read files so you can process data quicker next time.

KC, nice job :) -- except one line of test data returns 0: 20, 5, G. I know you can fix it so please look into it and let me know what's the glitch.

TD, great job on finding split() function. It is much faster. I will recommend everyone else use this function in the future. But - , split() returns a list - seems you messed up the variable mappings. Please see my comments below. This version runs correctly for both sample and test data. Please fix your code and let me know when it gets the correct results.
