Advent of Code 2024

This is my repository for solving the puzzles from Advent of Code 2024.

This year, I decided to give Go a spin to get more familiar with the language. It might feel like I've gone a bit overboard with the structure, almost making it too "corporate," but I wanted it to feel like a real project.

Up and Running

1. Add a .env file at the root of the project.

2. Add the following line to the .env file:

   AOC_SESSION=XXX

   Replace XXX with the session cookie from the Advent of Code website.

Run the program

Adjust inside main.go what day it should run.

Get the results with: go run main.go

Code Formatting

To ensure consistent code quality and style, here are the tools I'm using:

go fmt

Formats the code according to Go's standards.
Run it with: go fmt ./...

go vet

Performs static analysis to catch common mistakes.
Run it with: go vet ./...

golint

Provides linting to enforce Go code style.
Install it with: go install golang.org/x/lint/golint@latest
Run it with: golint ./...

staticcheck

Offers advanced linting and catches performance and correctness issues.
Install it with: go install honnef.co/go/tools/cmd/staticcheck@latest
Run it with: staticcheck ./...

Tests

Run all tests with: go test ./...
