Welcome everyone to the 2023 advent of code! Thank you all for stopping by and participating in it in programming.dev whether youre new to the event or doing it again.

This is an unofficial community for the event as no official spot exists on lemmy but ill be running it as best I can with Sigmatics modding as well. Ill be running a solution megathread every day where you can share solutions with other participants to compare your answers and to see the things other people come up with


Day 1: Trebuchet?!


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

FAQ


🔒This post will be unlocked when there is a decent amount of submissions on the leaderboard to avoid cheating for top spots

  • I think I found a decently short solution for part 2 in python:

    DIGITS = {
        'one': '1',
        'two': '2',
        'three': '3',
        'four': '4',
        'five': '5',
        'six': '6',
        'seven': '7',
        'eight': '8',
        'nine': '9',
    }
    
    
    def find_digit(word: str) -> str:
        for digit, value in DIGITS.items():
            if word.startswith(digit):
                return value
            if word.startswith(value):
                return value
        return ''
    
    
    total = 0
    for line in puzzle.split('\n'):
        digits = [
            digit for i in range(len(line))
            if (digit := find_digit(line[i:]))
        ]
        total += int(digits[0] + digits[-1])
    
    
    print(total)

      Looks very elegant! I’m having trouble understanding how this finds digit “words” from the end of the line though, as they should be spelled backwards IIRC? I.e. eno, owt, eerht

        It simply finds all possible digits and then locates the last one through the reverse indexing. It’s not efficient because there’s no shortcircuiting, but there’s no need to search the strings backwards, which is nice. Python’s startswith method is also hiding a lot of that other implementations have done explicitly.

    I wanted to see if it was possible to do part 1 in a single line of Python:

    print(sum([(([int(i) for i in line if i.isdigit()][0]) * 10 + [int(i) for i in line if i.isdigit()][-1]) for line in open("input.txt")]))

    I finally got my solutions done. I used rust. I feel like 114 lines (not including empty lines or driver code) for both solutions is pretty decent. If lemmy’s code blocks are hard to read, I also put my solutions on github.

    use std::{

    My solution in rust. I’m sure there’s a lot more clever ways to do it but this is what I came up with.

    Code
    use std::{io::prelude::*, fs::File, path::Path, io };
    
    fn main() 
    {
        run_solution(false); 
    
        println!("\nPress enter to continue");
        let mut buffer = String::new();
        io::stdin().read_line(&amp;mut buffer).unwrap();
    
        run_solution(true); 
    }
    
    fn run_solution(check_for_spelled: bool)
    {
        let data = load_data("data/input");
    
        println!("\nProcessing Data...");
    
        let mut sum: u64 = 0;
        for line in data.lines()
        {
            // Doesn't seem like the to_ascii_lower call is needed but... just in case
            let first = get_digit(line.to_ascii_lowercase().as_bytes(), false, check_for_spelled);
            let last = get_digit(line.to_ascii_lowercase().as_bytes(), true, check_for_spelled);
    
    
            let num = (first * 10) + last;
    
            // println!("\nLine: {} -- First: {}, Second: {}, Num: {}", line, first, last, num);
            sum += num as u64;
        }
    
        println!("\nFinal Sum: {}", sum);
    }
    
    fn get_digit(line: &amp;[u8], from_back: bool, check_for_spelled: bool) -> u8
    {
        let mut range: Vec = (0..line.len()).collect();
        if from_back
        {
            range.reverse();
        }
    
        for i in range
        {
            if is_num(line[i])
            {
                return (line[i] - 48) as u8;
            }
    
            if check_for_spelled
            {
                if let Some(num) = is_spelled_num(line, i)
                {
                    return num;
                }
            }
        }
    
        return 0;
    }
    
    fn is_num(c: u8) -> bool
    {
        c >= 48 &amp;&amp; c &lt;= 57
    }
    
    fn is_spelled_num(line: &amp;[u8], start: usize) -> Option
    {

      One small thing that would make it easier to read would be to use (I don’t know what the syntax is called) as opposed to the magic numbers for getting the ascii code for a character as a u8, e.g. b'0' instead of 48.

        Oh yeah that’s a good point. I have seen that before but I didn’t think of it at the time.

    There weren’t any zeros in the training data I got - the text seems to suggest that “0” is allowed but “zero” isn’t.

    Part 1 felt fairly pretty simple in Haskell:

    import Data.Char (isDigit)
    
    main = interact solve
    
    solve :: String -> String
    solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . filter isDigit) . lines
    

    Part 2 was more of a struggle, though I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I ended up using concatMap inits . tails to generate all substrings, in order of appearance so one3m becomes ["","o","on","one","one3","one3m","","n","ne","ne3","ne3m","","e","e3","e3m","","3","3m","","m",""]. I then wrote a function stringToDigit :: String -> Maybe Char which simultaneously filtered out the digits and standardised them as Chars.

    import Data.List (inits, tails)
    import Data.Char (isDigit, digitToInt)
    import Data.Maybe (mapMaybe)
    
    main = interact solve
    
    solve :: String -> String
    solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . mapMaybe stringToDigit . concatMap inits . tails) . lines
    --                             |string of first&amp;last digit| |find all the digits |   |all substrings of line|
    
    stringToDigit "one"   = Just '1'
    stringToDigit "two"   = Just '2'
    stringToDigit "three" = Just '3'
    stringToDigit "four"  = Just '4'
    stringToDigit "five"  = Just '5'
    stringToDigit "six"   = Just '6'
    stringToDigit "seven" = Just '7'
    stringToDigit "eight" = Just '8'
    stringToDigit "nine"  = Just '9'
    stringToDigit [x]
      | isDigit x         = Just x
      | otherwise         = Nothing
    stringToDigit _       = Nothing
    

    I went a bit excessively Haskell with it, but I had my fun!

    My solutin in Elixir for both part 1 and part 2 is below. It does use regex and with that there are many different ways to accomplish the goal. I’m no regex master so I made it as simple as possible and relied on the language a bit more. I’m sure there are cooler solutions with no regex too, this is just what I settled on:

    https://pastebin.com/u1SYJ4tY
    defmodule AdventOfCode.Day01 do
      def part1(args) do
        number_regex = ~r/([0-9])/
    
        args
        |> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
        |> Enum.map(&amp;first_and_last_number(&amp;1, number_regex))
        |> Enum.map(&amp;number_list_to_integer/1)
        |> Enum.sum()
      end
    
      def part2(args) do
        number_regex = ~r/(?=(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))/
    
        args
        |> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
        |> Enum.map(&amp;first_and_last_number(&amp;1, number_regex))
        |> Enum.map(fn number -> Enum.map(number, &amp;replace_word_with_number/1) end)
        |> Enum.map(&amp;number_list_to_integer/1)
        |> Enum.sum()
      end
    
      defp first_and_last_number(string, regex) do
        matches = Regex.scan(regex, string)
        [_, first] = List.first(matches)
        [_, last] = List.last(matches)
    
        [first, last]
      end
    
      defp number_list_to_integer(list) do
        list
        |> List.to_string()
        |> String.to_integer()
      end
    
      defp replace_word_with_number(string) do
        numbers = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"]
    
        String.replace(string, numbers, fn x ->
          (Enum.find_index(numbers, &amp;(&amp;1 == x)) + 1)
          |> Integer.to_string()
        end)
      end
    end

    Uiua solution

    I may add solutions in Uiua depending on how easy I find them, so here’s today’s (also available to run online):

    Inp ← {"four82nine74" "hlpqrdh3" "7qt" "12" "1one"}
    # if needle is longer than haystack, return zeros
    SafeFind ← ((⌕|-.;)&lt; ∩⧻ , ,)
    FindDigits ← (× +19 ⊠(□SafeFind∩⊔) : Inp)
    "123456789"
    ⊜□ ≠@\s . "one two three four five six seven eight nine"
    ∩FindDigits
    BuildNum ← (/+∵(/+⊂⊃(×101)(↙ 1⇌) ▽≠0.⊔) /↥)
    ∩BuildNum+,
    

    or stripping away all the fluff:

    Inp ← {"four82nine74" "hlpqrdh3" "7qt" "12" "1one"}
    ⊜□ ≠@\s."one two three four five six seven eight nine" "123456789"
    ∩(×+19⊠(□(⌕|-.;)&lt;⊙:∩(⧻.⊔)):Inp)
    ∩(/+∵(/+⊂⊃(×101)(↙1⇌)▽≠0.⊔)/↥)+,

    A new C solution: without lookahead or backtracking! I keep a running tally of how many letters of each digit word were matched so far: https://github.com/sjmulder/aoc/blob/master/2023/c/day01.c

    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
    	static const char names[][8] = {"zero", "one", "two", "three",
    	    "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};
    	int p1=0, p2=0, i,c;
    	int p1_first = -1, p1_last = -1;
    	int p2_first = -1, p2_last = -1;
    	int nmatched[10] = {0};
    	
    	while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
    		if (c == '\n') {
    			p1 += p1_first*10 + p1_last;
    			p2 += p2_first*10 + p2_last;
    			p1_first = p1_last = p2_first = p2_last = -1;
    			memset(nmatched, 0, sizeof(nmatched));
    		} else if (c >= '0' &amp;&amp; c &lt;= '9') {
    			if (p1_first == -1) p1_first = c-'0';
    			if (p2_first == -1) p2_first = c-'0';
    			p1_last = p2_last = c-'0';
    			memset(nmatched, 0, sizeof(nmatched));
    		} else for (i=0; i&lt;10; i++)
    			/* advance or reset no. matched digit chars */
    			if (c != names[i][nmatched[i]++])
    				nmatched[i] = c == names[i][0];
    			/* matched to end? */
    			else if (!names[i][nmatched[i]]) {
    				if (p2_first == -1) p2_first = i;
    				p2_last = i;
    				nmatched[i] = 0;
    			}
    
    	printf("%d %d\n", p1, p2);
    	return 0;
    }
