Advent of Code

This is a collection of solutions for the Advent of Code challenges. A mixture of languages have been used for various challenges, and there may be multiple solutions per challenge (fastest to finish, fewest lines, different languages, etc.).

The entries are split by year, and all the code for day X is stored in the day_X directory. Each day's challenge has two parts, and each of these parts have their own solution file.

Python specific notes

Input

Some of the inputs are manually added, but for many of the Python solutions the aocd library is used to automatically read in the day's data for a Github account.

Requirements

To install the aocd dependency, navigate to the base directory and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run the code

Python

All Python entries use Python 3, so to show any of the solutions just run the following in a terminal:

python3 <filename>

And the answer should be printed in the terminal.

C

To compile day X's code into an executable file, navigate to the directory day_X and run:

# For part 1
gcc -o part_1.out part_1.c

# For part 2
gcc -o part_2.out part_2.c

To run an executable file, navigate to the directory day_X and run:

# For part 1
./part_1.c

# For part 2
./part_2.c
