     @lunarised obj stands for objective
     top is the top instances
     current is supposed to be the one we're working on overtaking

     top -> parsedInstances
     
     just my 2 cents on readability (I will murder c programmers who default to small variable names)

     > j is for the loop
     
     MAKE IT BETTER DAMN IT
     
     j at this point actually represents an object with a purpose, the only reason we use i,j,k,l for for loops is since theyre essentially just a positional value.
     
     i is fine, all we are doing with i is holding state for our control flow, but come on man... j represents something bigger (arguably the most important data in your program, next to r which is also named by helen keller)
     
     (tell me to fuck off if you want idc, i just like seeing people clean up their code (noone does it enough))

     @lunarised I'm thinking about just writing this in c instead honestly
     
     Because
     a. People are bashing me for using python for a small script
     b. more used to the practices of c, got confused multiple times because j was a fucking string when I was expecting an int

     Nah stick with python. Its a much better language to understand imo (it actually gets used (coming from a C enthusiast))
     
     the in operator is pretty standard now in languages, which is dope
     
     Anyone giving you shit for writing a small script in python is completely fucking retarded. And i will call them completely fucking retarded for you

     @kirby I think this comparison returns false, and current is never updated so the first value is added to your results every time through the loop
