MODERATORS
 

Welcome everyone to the 2023 advent of code! Thank you all for stopping by and participating in it in programming.dev whether youre new to the event or doing it again.

This is an unofficial community for the event as no official spot exists on lemmy but ill be running it as best I can with Sigmatics modding as well. Ill be running a solution megathread every day where you can share solutions with other participants to compare your answers and to see the things other people come up with


Day 1: Trebuchet?!


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

FAQ


πŸ”’This post will be unlocked when there is a decent amount of submissions on the leaderboard to avoid cheating for top spots

Ruby

https://github.com/snowe2010/advent-of-code/blob/master/ruby_aoc/2023/day01/day01.rb

Part 1

execute(1, test_file_suffix: "p1") do |lines|
  lines.inject(0) do |acc, line|
    d = line.gsub(/\D/,'')
    acc += (d[0] + d[-1]).to_i
  end
end

Part 2

map = {
  "one": 1,
  "two": 2,
  "three": 3,
  "four": 4,
  "five": 5,
  "six": 6,
  "seven": 7,
  "eight": 8,
  "nine": 9,
}

execute(2) do |lines|
  lines.inject(0) do |acc, line|
    first_num = line.sub(/(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine)/) do |key|
      map[key.to_sym]
    end
    last_num = line.reverse.sub(/(enin|thgie|neves|xis|evif|ruof|eerht|owt|eno)/) do |key|
      map[key.reverse.to_sym]
    end

    d = first_num.chars.select { |num| numeric?(num) }
    e = last_num.chars.select { |num| numeric?(num) }
    acc += (d[0] + e[0]).to_i
  end
end

Then of course I also code golfed it, but didn't try very hard.

P1 Code Golf

execute(1, alternative_text: "Code Golf 60 bytes", test_file_suffix: "p1") do |lines|
  lines.inject(0){|a,l|d=l.gsub(/\D/,'');a+=(d[0]+d[-1]).to_i}
end

P2 Code Golf (ignore the formatting, I just didn't want to reformat to remove all the spaces, and it's easier to read this way.)

execute(1, alternative_text: "Code Golf 271 bytes", test_file_suffix: "p1") do |z|
  z.inject(0) { |a, l|
    w = %w(one two three four five six seven eight nine)
    x = w.join(?|)
    f = l.sub(/(#{x})/) { |k| map[k.to_sym] }
    g = l.reverse.sub(/(#{x.reverse})/) { |k| map[k.reverse.to_sym] }
    d = f.chars.select { |n| n.match?(/\d/) }
    e = g.chars.select { |n| n.match?(/\d/) }
    a += (d[0] + e[0]).to_i
  }
end

Thank you for sharing this. I also wrote a regular expression with \d|eno|owt and so on, and I was not so proud of myself :). Good to know I wasn't the only one :).

I was trying so hard to avoid doing this and landed on a pretty nice solution (for me). It's funny sering everyone's approach especially when you have no problem running through that barrier that I didn't want to πŸ˜†
