Advent of Code 2021 in Rust

My Advent of Code 2021 solutions in the Rust programming language. This repository holds a separate Rust project for each day and part.

I attempt to develop a standalone, elegant, compact and fast solution for each problem (two each day).

Previous year I did the same, solving everything in under a second:

Timings

Here is how long each solution runs. All solutions are measured (non scientifically) in bench.rs on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (24) @ 3.7GHz machine running Linux.

part A part B
day 1 0.025ms 0.024ms
day 2 0.024ms 0.025ms
day 3 0.021ms 0.023ms
day 4 0.075ms 0.106ms
day 5 0.110ms 0.220ms

Run solutions

Each Rust project contains a input.txt file, holding the puzzle input. Simply run the project to see the solution appear.

# Switch to day 1a, and run it
cd day01a
cargo +nightly run --release

# or run everything in parallel
cd ../runner
cargo +nightly run --release --bin runner-par

# or benchmark every day
cd ../runner
cargo +nightly run --release --bin bench

Some solutions require Rust Nightly, that's why +nightly is included.
