Basic C# solution with a straightforward try-everything simulation. This one could've been called 50 Thousand Iterations Under the Sea

C# solution

C# solution, I keep letter pair counts in a square grid and a separate map for individual letter counts

C# solution with basic graph search. I track the step counts to each cave and decide which next caves to take based on them, and prune it after returning from a recursive call to SearchFrom

C# solution with a straightforward stack-based approach. I modeled sum types using abstract record on line 62 to handle the three different return values from the processing function

C# solution, simple flood-fill type algo. I found a use for C# 9.0's record types, explained in the blurb at the top of the file

C# solution with a manual deduction process (one of many possible no doubt) that I figured out in the hours after midnight, then I slept on it and it took all morning to actually code the thing, but I like the result. Again a sprinkling of LINQ makes it bearable to write and read

C# code tries all positions between first and last crab

C# solution same as most others but with a bit of LINQ

C# nothing noteworthy other than LINQ saving the day again

With danger of being downvoted hard - looking at the first few day solutions.. it's not pretty. It's probably trying to be illustrative of new C++ features but check how much cleaner these Rust solutions look (not my code) - https://github.com/wfxr/advent-of-code-2021/blob/main/src/day01/mod.rs. Not trying to be a hater (C++ used to be my go to language some time back) but I hope somehow the new C++ apis get cleaned up.
