    My Advent of Code solutions (by premun)

  • My solution was to pretend it's a Stream and treat is one using a small abstraction: https://github.com/premun/advent-of-code/blob/main/src/16/BitReader.cs

  • aoc2021

    Advent of Code 2021 - my answers

  • Looks somewhat similar in approach to mine, but instead of keeping track of the number of bits consumed myself, I simply re-use the position that it already keeps track of, plus a tiny bit of user-specified state so that I can parse directly from the hexadecimal representation, no need to build an intermediate String for the binary representation.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • nom

    Rust parser combinator framework

  • Parsing is made by implementing an Iterator giving next bits on every iteration. It may be interesting to write nom parser for this format - I've chosen to write everything by hand. I think it turned out pretty well, my solution runs in 6ms for both parts.

    Advent of Code challenge solutions (by flwyd)

  • Raku, 2388 / 2366, which suggests that everyone else who worked at my pace also quickly realized that part 2 would be "Evaluate the stack of values."

  • advent_of_code

  • C# (2247,3170) Recognize from part 1 that this is gonna be a pseudo programming language. Spent most of part 1 implementing lexer and parser. For part 2, i implement a Visitor pattern for fun but got bogged down with "number too low" in debugging while the logic is already correct.

  • advent-of-code

  • toybox

  • C# https://github.com/LEPT0N/toybox/commit/f18b2e492a697d65bfb274e441fbb2dde439abc6 Probably took me longer to parse the instructions! Got to use BitArray, which is fun since I've never had a reason to do that before.

  • advent-of-code

  • Common Lisp. Christ this was a sad day. I probably had part 1 in 40 minutes (or I would have if emacs didn't start hanging which necessitated a huge apt-get update/apt-get upgrade 40 minutes in), but then I got hung up until ~3hrs by the "padding" stuff and trying to parse more than one root-level packet from the string. Uggghhh.

    My Advent of Code solutions through the years - mostly JS (by davidsharp)

  • 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.

  • GitHub link - I didn't know how to call my parse_packet function if I got a specific length vs a number of packets in the operator, so if I get a specific length I call the function recursively and if I get a number of packets I call it N times without recursion.

  • Once I finally understood how the examples worked with subpackets, I was able to come up with what I think is a nice clean solution. I ended up using an Iterator that got passed around to various sealed types that would parse themselves out. I defined several extension functions on Iterator to make things easier to read.

  • https://github.com/fbl100/advent-of-code-2021/blob/master/day_16.py My first attempt at this was really ugly. The second attempt used a buffer that keeps track of the current position, which was much cleaner and resulted in everything just 'falling into place'. I say that until I got the part 2 answer wrong. I had to figure out why a negative number was getting into the mix on my evaluations. Check line 221-223 if you're interested.
