This repo contains my solutions for Advent of Code
Each solution is designed to be self contained and not rely on any other files (with an exception for 2019 where half the problems needed and intcode interpreter, so all those problems rely on the intcode.py file in that directory). Additionally, for any single day, each part is also designed to not rely on the other.
Each file is designed to read from an input.txt file in the same directory and will print two lines to stdout for solutions to part 1 and 2.
For the most part, only the standard library is used, however installation of some popular libraries may be required for some solutions.
The wrapper.py contains helpful functions that automate:
- initializing the directory structure and code files
- downloading the input and placing it in the right location
- running the solution file and submitting whatever is printed
requires the advent-of-code-data package as well as pasting your Advent of Code session token into a file named .session.txt in the same directory. Check the package page for more details on how to get session token.
Some problems require drawing letters (or other things) in a grid, then printing out the grid to read the solution. For these problems,
the automatic submit won't work.
List of problems where output simply draws letters on grid:
- 2016-08-B
- 2018-10-A
- 2021-13-B
- 2022-10-B
The majority of the problems were only tested on my inputs and gave me the right solution. While I've done by best to generalize my solutions so that they don't overfit on any particular input, I haven't tested it on extra inputs. If any of the solutions give you the wrong answer on your input, be sure to report it as a GitHub issue and paste your input (use wrong answer tag).
If you want extra help for a solution, feel free to open an issue requesting an explanation (use question tag). I will try to respond and elaborate on my solution.
