Another year, another Advent of Code.

Like last year, we’re doing Rust. I’ve really grown to love the language since last year… and hopefully I’ve learned a bit more about how to write more ‘proper’ Rust. I know I had some issues last year. Functional… but it could be better.

Let’s see how it goes!

For full solutions, as always, I post to GitHub (including previous years and possibly some I haven’t written up yet): jpverkamp/advent-of-code

Here’s a full list of all of the posts:

At least at first, I’m going to be using the same helper lib and template that I had last year, with a few changes:

• part1 and part2 are returning anyhow Result<String>; this will allow us to use the ? operator
• I cleaned up a few suggestions that cargo clippy suggested
• The built in tests are testing both data/test/__.txt (the given small test case) and my full data

That’s really about it though. I’d like to switch over to a workspace and properly extract some shared code into modules or dig more deeply into benchmarking, but we’ll see if I get there.

Onward!

And here are my previous year’s solutions:
