My solutions to Advent of Code.

Usage

To run a solution for a given year and day, run aoc with the following options:

Short Option	Long Option	Parameter(s)	Explanation
-h	--help	none	Show a help message and exit.
-y	--year	n, an integer	The year for which to run the solution.
-d	--day	n, an integer between 1 and 25	The day for which to run the solution.
-b	--benchmark	n, a non-negative integer (default 100)	The solution will be benchmarked; it will be run n times, then the time will be averaged and reported. (If the option is left out, the solution is not benchmarked.)
-i	--input	one or more filepaths	Each of the files specified by the paths will be passed as input to the solution. If the path is relative, it will be treated as relative to the directory of the solution. (If the option is left out, all files in the solution directory are used.)

Examples

These examples assume that the project's root directory is opened in your favorite terminal.

Run 2023 Day 1:

py aoc -y 2023 -d 1

Run 2023 Day 7, and benchmark (with 100 runs by default):

py aoc -y 2023 -d 7 -b

Run 2023 Day 13, and benchmark with 1,000 runs:

py aoc -y 2023 -d 13 -b 1000

Run 2023 Day 18 on example.txt:

py aoc -y 2023 -d 18 -i example.txt

init_year.py

init_year.py is for automatically initializing the files for a new year. To use it, simply run it and give it a year value. (This file is intended for my personal use, but I thought I'd add it to this repo anyway.)
