  • Here's my Python solution:

    from itertools import combinations
    import numpy as np
    
    
    def sum_target(num_list: list, combs: int, target: int) -> int:
            for t in combinations(num_list, combs):
                if sum(t) == target:
                    return np.prod(t)
    
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
    
            with open('day_01_input.txt', 'r') as f:
                input_num_list = [int(x) for x in f.readlines()]
    
            # Part 1
            print(f'{sum_target(input_num_list, 2, 2020)=}')
    
            # Part 2
            print(f'{sum_target(input_num_list, 3, 2020)=}')
    
    

    Probably not as efficient as others but seems readable.
