Raku
First time using Grammar Actions Object to make parsing a little cleaner. I thought about not keeping track of the left and right values (and I originally didn't for part 1), but I think keeping track allows for an easier to understand solution.

edit: although I don't know why
@values.all != 0
evaluates to true why any value is not zero. I thought that@values.any != 0
would do that, but it seems that their behavior is flipped from my expectations.edit2: Oh, I think I understand now.
!=
is a shortcut for!==
, and!==
is actually the equality operator that is then negated. You can negate most relational operators in Raku by prefixing them with!
. So the junction is actually binding to the==
equality operator and not the!==
inequality operator. Therefore@values.all != 0
becomes!(@values.all == 0)
. I'm not sure why they would choose this order of operations, though.edit3: Ah, it's in the documentation, so it's not even an oversight. https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/3748
