binary-diagnostic

This is a task from the Advent of Code project. In order to run, you need an x86 linux machine. Copying this code is only allowed as mentioned in License.

How-it-works

• There is a given diagnostic report (multiple binary values in text form).
• Each bit in the gamma rate can be determined by finding the most common bit in the corresponding position of all numbers in the diagnostic report.
• The epsilon rate is calculated in a similar way; rather than use the most common bit, the least common bit from each position is used.
• The power consumption can be calculated by multiplying the gamma rate by the esilon rate.
• The output will show the binary gamma and epsilon value, as well as the decimal power consumption.

How-to-use

Generate program:

make

Execute binary-diagnostic:

./binary-diagnostic64
