A fun and small challenge.
First read all locks, transpose their profile and count the #s (-1 for the full row).
Then do the same for the keys.
Lastly find all keys for all locks that do not sum to more than 5 with their teeth:
Code
val lockRegex = Regex("""#{5}(\r?\n[.#]{5}){6}""")
val keyRegex = Regex("""([.#]{5}\r?\n){6}#{5}""")
fun parseLocksAndKeys(inputFile: String): Pair<List<IntArray>, List<IntArray>> {
val input = readResource(inputFile)
val locks = lockRegex
.findAll(input)
.map {
it
.value
.lines()
.map { line -> line.toList() }
.transpose()
.map { line -> line.count { c -> c == '#' } - 1 }
.toIntArray()
}
.toList()
val keys = keyRegex
.findAll(input)
.map {
it
.value
.lines()
.map { line -> line.toList() }
.transpose()
.map { line -> line.count { c -> c == '#' } - 1 }
.toIntArray()
}
.toList()
return locks to keys
}
fun part1(inputFile: String): String {
val (locks, keys) = parseLocksAndKeys(inputFile)
val matches = locks.map { lock ->
keys.filter { key ->
for (i in lock.indices) {
// Make sure the length of the key and lock do not exceed 5
if (lock[i] + key[i] > 5) {
return@filter false
}
}
true
}
}
.flatten()
.count()
return matches.toString()
}
