Advent of Code Kotlin Template

Advent of Code – an annual event in December since 2015. Every year since then, with the first day of December, a programming puzzles contest is published every day for twenty-four days. A set of Christmas-oriented challenges provides any input you have to use to answer using the language of your choice. This is template with Kotlin language to use for .

Setup

After you create a new project based on the current template repository using the Use this template button, a bare minimal scaffold will appear in your GitHub account with the following structure:

.
├── README.md               README file
├── build.gradle.kts        Gradle configuration created with Kotlin DSL
├── settings.gradle.kts     Gradle project settings
├── gradle*                 Gradle wrapper files
└── src
    ├── base
        ├── Day.kt          Base class with printing utilities for each AoC day
        └── Utils.kt        A set of utility methods shared across your days
    └── day00               A template package for each AoC day
        ├── Day00.kt        A template file for each AoC day
        ├── input.txt       An empty file for the input data
        ├── test1.txt       An optional file for Part One test input data
        └── test2.txt       An optional file for Part Two test input data

Note

All task input files (src/**/*.txt) are excluded from the repository with .gitignore

When each puzzle appears, copy the day00 package and rename it to the current day. Copy your input data to the input.txt file. Each puzzle has an example input data and expected value, which you can copy to test1.txt or test2.txt for Part One and Part Two respectively. In DayXX.kt, you can input the expected values for test1Expected and test2Expected.

object Day00 : Day<Long>("00") {
    override val test1Expected: Long = 0L
    override val test2Expected: Long = 0L
}

Provide your algorithm implementations in part1 and part2.

    override fun part1(input: List<String>): Long {
        TODO()
    }

    override fun part2(input: List<String>): Long {
        TODO()
    }

Running

To call the algorithm you're implementing, click the green Play button next to the fun main() definition.

    fun main() = Day00.run()

Using the base class will print the answers and run-time for each part. Furthermore, if test1Expected and/or test2Expected is overridden, it will show the expected and actual values.

**************   Test   **************
✅Part One: XXXX             ⏳0 ms
❌Part Two: XXXX             ⏳0 ms
❗️Expected: XXXX         

**************  Actual  **************
🌟Part One: XXXX             ⏳0 ms
🌟Part Two: XXXX             ⏳0 ms

Copy and paste your actual answers into the AoC page. If your answers are correct, you can override part1Expected and part2Expected to help with refactoring code.

object Day00 : Day<Long>("00") {
    override val part1Expected: Long = 0L
    override val part2Expected: Long = 0L
}
