These are my solutions for the Advent of Code 2017 coding challenges. Went with C++ because I wanted to get the feel for it again after years of not using it at all!
I personally used g++ to compile my programs. It's rather straightforward but you can use whichever C++ compiler you please as long as it uses at least C++11 as I used some of its features in parts of my code.
$ g++ 1a.cpp -o ../bin/1a -g -Wall -std=c++11; ./../bin/1a
For debugging at certain points I used Valgrind. Specifically for memory debugging. As such the extra -g flag was added to g++.
There's no license. This is just for fun and learning so take from it what you want as you please. Keep in mind this was done as a learning exercise for getting back into a bit of C++. In that sense the solutions may and quite probably are not optimal. Either way, Merry Christmas!
