Advent of Code solutions

Primary LanguageRust

Advent of Code 2022+

A little CLI framework I made to run my Advent of Code solutions. All solutions are in the solutions folder, broken down by year/day, so avoid that if you're trying to avoid spoilers.

The solutions layout required to run properly is:

solutions/
    year_{YEAR}/
        day1/
            solution.rs
            input.txt  <-- The main puzzle input
            test_input.txt  <-- The test input used in the puzzle explanation
            test_solution.txt  <-- The test input solution used in the puzzle explanation
        day2/
        ... etc

solution.rs must contain two public functions:

pub fn solution_one(input: Vec<String>) {}
pub fn solution_two(input: Vec<String>) {}

Solutions can be run with:

cargo run -- -y YEAR -d DAY -s SOLUTION [-t]  # Include -t when you want to run using the  test input
cargo run --release -- -y YEAR -d DAY -s SOLUTION [-t]  # --release to optimize and remove debug symbols and such

e.g.

# Run Year 2022, Day 3, Solution 2 with the puzzle input
# This would be the `fn solution_two` within solutions/year_2022/day3/solution.rs
# using solutions/year_2022/day3/input.txt as input.
cargo run --release -- -y 2022 -d 3 -s 2

Note that currently, solution files are compiled along with the main CLI, so there's not much point in installing and running the executable
