"""Solution for Advent of Code 2024 - Day 24: Crossed Wires.
7+
8+
This class solves a puzzle about analyzing digital circuits and identifying wire connections.
9+
Part 1 executes a digital circuit to determine the output value, while Part 2 analyzes the
10+
circuit structure to identify wires that need to be swapped to fix an incorrectly wired adder.
11+
12+
Input format:
13+
- Initial wire values section: lines with format "wireId: value" (0 or 1)
14+
- Blank line separator
15+
- Gate connections section: lines with format "input1 OPERATION input2 -> output"
16+
- Operations include AND, OR, and XOR
17+
- Wire IDs starting with 'x' and 'y' are inputs, those starting with 'z' are outputs
18+
19+
This class simulates the circuit execution and analyzes its structure to identify
20+
incorrectly wired components in a full adder implementation.
