How do you calculate the length of my program for "The 10 shortest solutions"?

First, we count the total number of bytes in all files. In particular, windows-style newlines `\r\n` are counted as 2 bytes. If you are using windows and want a short solution, you should ensure that you're using Unix-style newlines: `\n`.

Second, we also count the total length of all filenames, including the extension. The shortest file name that matches any of the following RegEx patterns will not be counted in the length:

<default filename>.<ext> (where <default filename> is the name of the file that Kattis' editor automatically creates)
[Mm]ain.<ext>
[Pp]rogram.<ext>
[Ss]olution.<ext>
[Kk]attis.<ext>
[Cc]hallenge.<ext>
[Pp]roblem[A-Za-z0-9].<ext>
[A-Za-z].<ext> (a single letter)

Where <ext> is the RegEx [A-Za-z0-9+]{1,5}. All supported languages on Kattis match this RegEx.

The sum of these two parts is the length of your submission.
