Advent of Code

This is my repository for my Advent of Code solutions. The framework is a clone of David Brownman´s.

Quickstart

This repo has two main executables: start and advent. See David´s repo for instructions. The only difference is that I added an additional argument so that I can specify the input file. Now I can either run test.txt or input.txt

Usage

`./advent [-h] [--year year] [--file filename.txt]

Run a day of Advent of Code

positional arguments:

• day (required): Which puzzle day to run

optional arguments:

• --year YEAR (optional): Puzzle year. Defaults to current year if December has begun, otherwise previous year
• --file (optional): specify the input file to be used

Examples

• ./advent 2
• `./advent 5 --year 2020 --file test.txt
• ./advent 5 --year 2015 --file input.txt

Reading Input

AoC input takes a number of forms, so there are a number of simple modes in which input can be read. Pick a mode by setting Solution.input_type to one of the following Enum values:

InputTypes.X	description	input for this mode
TEXT	one solid block of text; the default	abcde
INTEGER	one number	12345
TSV	tab-separated values	a b c d e f
STRSPLIT	str[], split by a specified separator (default newline)	a b c d e
INTSPLIT	int[], split by a specified separator (default newline)	1 2 3 4 5

Specify Solution.separator to control how the SPLIT methods separate their input.
