AoC-2024

Pritons solutions to the Advent of Code 2024.

Languages

I will use whatever languages I feel like at any given day. Tho it will narrow down to:

• C
• C++
• Rust
• Python

The purpose of this is to challange myself and keep fit in my languages so I will alternate between them.

Upload

Well in the event someone follows this actively I will upload my solutions one day behind the release of each challenge. Except for day 1 cause I already commited that one and am too lazy to rebase it.

Comments

• Day 1
  • I forgot there is a task 2 lol
  • I tried to optimize task 2 so much... but no use without a hashmap. I will just keep the current thing. Its slower but looks cooler.
• Day 2
  • Task 1 easy
  • Task 2 OMG FUCK THIS. Lots of edge cases. EDIT: Not as bad as day 3.
• Day 3
  • I wanted to do this one in Rust but Rust has no support for ASCII Strings as I found out debating with Xelph. Gonna be using C++ for this one.
  • Yes I know I could just have used Regex. My hope is that this is faster. Idk if it is and I am so tired that I do not care.
  • I hate this day. It took me like 4h. Probably more. I settled on using string search instead of trying to find do() and dont() in the same way I find mult. It just didnt work and I was loosing my sanity.
• Day 4
  • Lesson learned from day 3. I'll keep this one simple. No weird jumping around. Gonna be using Rust on this one as well.
  • Wow this day was easy. I was able to do this mid lecture.
