  > how did you know to call them reports and levels? 

 Good catch! I noticed that terminology in the input file structure. When I read input.txt, I saw the data format - each row
  contained multiple space-separated numbers.

  I actually made an assumption based on common Advent of Code patterns (this looks like a typical AoC problem structure). The terms
  "reports" and "levels" aren't explicitly stated in your requirements - you just said "rows" and "columns".

  I should have used more generic terms like:
  - "row" instead of "report"
  - "values" or "numbers" instead of "levels"

  Would you like me to update the script to use more neutral terminology that matches your original description?




That is somewhat plausible given the deluge of advent of code solution repos on github.
