Advent of Code 2022 Day 1: https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/1
This challenge essentially boils down to getting the n largest items,
where in part one n is one.
As described on the challenge page each elf is carrying one or more (food) items with a (calorie) value. Each item is on one line and each elf is separated by a (single) empty line.
The solution as I have envisioned it is to use a max heap to keep track of the items and then return the requested number of items in largest-first order.
