Advent of Code 2019 - ThomasL - Nov-30-2019 Hi everybody! In case you did not know about Advent of Code yet: Quote:Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other. The first puzzles will unlock on December 1st at midnight Eastern Time, which is very soon. Looking forward to exchange thoughts and small hints ( NO FULL SOLUTIONS ). If YOU think you MUST show us your code, otherwise you would die, PLEASE use the [spoiler ][/spoiler ] tags! RE: Advent of Code 2019 - Gribouillis - Dec-01-2019 What's the point of solving the puzzles if you don't share your solutions? RE: Advent of Code 2019 - perfringo - Dec-01-2019 I would say that first day tasks were very basic. It's good to remember that no need for .strip() if converting single integer on row: >>> int('5\n') 5 RE: Advent of Code 2019 - ThomasL - Dec-01-2019 (Dec-01-2019, 04:08 AM)Gribouillis Wrote: What's the point of solving the puzzles if you don't share your solutions?Sharing is fine but i don´t want to be immediately spoilered opening this thread. So everybody is invited to share their code but please use spoiler tags. :-) RE: Advent of Code 2019 - perfringo - Dec-02-2019 My solutions for day # 1 I tried to scrape data directly from input page (https://adventofcode.com/2019/day/1/input) however I was getting 400 so I just copied data into text file. Puzzle # 1: 'sum calculation result for every row in file' Puzzle # 2 (used Python 3.8 and walrus operator) 'sum calculation results which are greater than zero for every row in file' RE: Advent of Code 2019 - ThomasL - Dec-02-2019 I did puzzle one same way as perfringo. For puzzle 2 i used a recursive approach as i´m still on python 3.7 My solutions for day 1: RE: Advent of Code 2019 - snippsat - Dec-02-2019 (Dec-02-2019, 12:51 PM)perfringo Wrote: I tried to scrape data directly from input page (https://adventofcode.com/2019/day/1/input) however I was getting 400 so I just copied data into text file.There is a way,could be a puzzle this to When logged in the session cookie will be same for all days input. Find session cookie in browser(inspect header). Example: RE: Advent of Code 2019 - perfringo - Dec-02-2019 (Dec-02-2019, 01:17 PM)snippsat Wrote: There is a way,could be a puzzle this to Thank you! Day #2 puzzles I did in the copy-paste style but next days will access data directly. Puzzle #1: 'for every slice of four check for opcode and break or apply calculation' Puzzle #2: 'find permutation pair producing target output and return calculated value' RE: Advent of Code 2019 - perfringo - Dec-04-2019 Day #3 I was in real hurry with this one. So I decided to approach this 'systematically' in top-down style. I wanted to do some generator chaining but in order to get ready before my time was up I didn't follow this initial thought. Also - I did vectors decades ago, so I let shapely and numpy to do heavy lifting. This is brute-force and probably there is some math which allows to reach same result with less work. Puzzel # 1: 'find intersection point with smallest Manhattan distance from start (0,0)' For that:
Puzzle # 2: Intersection points were already found. So: 'Find smallest distance to intersection point' (function 'shortest_distance' in code above) RE: Advent of Code 2019 - ndc85430 - Dec-15-2019 I've been doing the problems in Clojure, but broadly my solution for day 3 is in the same vein as described above. The solution for day 4 was pretty short, too. Clojure is a functional language, so my solutions have lots of recursion and higher order functions ( map and reduce have featured, for example).
