If you handle some of the uncorrupted conditional statements in the program, you might be able to get an even more accurate result. + +There are two new instructions you'll need to handle: + +The do() instruction enables future mul instructions. +The don't() instruction disables future mul instructions. +Only the most recent do() or don't() instruction applies. At the beginning of the program, mul instructions are enabled. + +For example: + +xmul(2,4)&mul[3,7]!^don't()_mul(5,5)+mul(32,64](mul(11,8)undo()?mul(8,5)) +This corrupted memory is similar to the example from before, but this time the mul(5,5) and mul(11,8) instructions are disabled because there is a don't() instruction before them. The other mul instructions function normally, including the one at the end that gets re-enabled by a do() instruction. + +This time, the sum of the results is 48 (2*4 + 8*5). + +Handle the new instructions; what do you get if you add up all of the results of just the enabled multiplications? + +Answer: + \ No newline at end of file
