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)
Is there a leaderboard for the community?: We have a programming.dev leaderboard with the info on how to join in this post: https://programming.dev/post/6631465
πThis post will be unlocked when there is a decent amount of submissions on the leaderboard to avoid cheating for top spots
A solution in Nim language. Pretty straightforward code. Most logic is just parsing input + a bit of functional utils: allIt checks if all items in a list within limits to check if game is possible and mapIt collects red, green, blue cubes from each set of game.
import std/[strutils, strformat, sequtils]
type AOCSolution[T] = tuple[part1: T, part2: T]
type
GameSet = object
red, green, blue: int
Game = object
id: int
sets: seq[GameSet]
const MaxSet = GameSet(red: 12, green: 13, blue: 14)
func parseGame(input: string): Game =
result.id = input.split({':', ' '})[1].parseInt()
let sets = input.split(": ")[1].split("; ").mapIt(it.split(", "))
for gSet in sets:
var gs = GameSet()
for pair in gSet:
let
pair = pair.split()
cCount = pair[0].parseInt
cName = pair[1]
case cName:
of "red":
gs.red = cCount
of "green":
gs.green = cCount
of "blue":
gs.blue = cCount
result.sets.add gs
func isPossible(g: Game): bool =
g.sets.allIt(
it.red <= MaxSet.red and
it.green <= MaxSet.green and
it.blue <= MaxSet.blue
)
func solve(lines: seq[string]): AOCSolution[int]=
for line in lines:
let game = line.parseGame()
block p1:
if game.isPossible():
result.part1 += game.id
block p2:
let
minRed = game.sets.mapIt(it.red).max()
minGreen = game.sets.mapIt(it.green).max()
minBlue = game.sets.mapIt(it.blue).max()
result.part2 += minRed * minGreen * minBlue
when isMainModule:
let input = readFile("./input.txt").strip()
let (part1, part2) = solve(input.splitLines())
echo &"Part 1: The sum of valid game IDs equals {part1}."
echo &"Part 2: The sum of the sets' powers equals {part2}."
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I actually just learned about scanf while writing this. Only ended up using it in the one spot, since split worked well enough for the other bits. I really wanted to be able to use python-style unpacking, but in nim it only works for tuples. At least without writing macros, which I still haven't been able to wrap my head around.
