advent-of-code VS AoC

JavaScript

Almost walked away from this when caught out by the "empty" space flipping. But stuck with it and managed to make it work without changing my approach too much.

I enjoyed this one, despite all the reading. Felt like a nice change of gear from yesterday's. Using recursion to read sub-packets from the binary string, using a function that returns the value (or version sum in part 1) as well as the length, so I know where to read from for the next sub-packet.

Enjoyed today's one, short and sweet

Mine is similar (but in JS)

Struggled to get my head around the explanation of part 2 today, need more coffee

not the most inspired solution

JS solutions, already settled back into the habit of relying on reduce functions

20ms both parts https://github.com/Fadi88/AoC/blob/master/2023/day11/code.py

Same Algo as my python code from earlier, now just using math not search space reduction also blazing fast in micro seconds https://github.com/Fadi88/AoC/tree/master/2023/day06
