My 2022 attempt at the https://adventofcode.com/ challenge.
Competing against my colleagues at the very group, although this year I doubt I'll have sufficient time or head space to have a proper go.
I always forget how to get there so, for the record
npm i typescript --save-dev
npm i --save-dev @types/node
npm i --location=global ts-node
npm i ts-node --save-dev
npx tsc --init
npm i --save-dev ts-jest
npm i --save-dev @jest/globals
npx ts-jest config:init
ts-node aoc2022.ts 5 1
npm test -- day00/Day00.test.ts
Easy enough but it's been so long since I last coded I couldn't even remember how to find the max value in my array.
Things I'd like to do:
- switch to typescript
- write code that wouldn't get me kicked out of a leetcode test
- add a github action to this repo to let me do the AoC from my phone
Lazy but yet clever approach I'd say - encode the rules rather than calculate them
It's official, I can't remember how to code anymore.
Struggled with a variable / function name clash, then whether to use i+=3 or i=+3 to step through the list
Code left raw, to show how bad things are right now
Still a struggle, at least today introduced functions and thanks to breaking them up part 2 was a very simple change.
but tripped on ParseInt(), missing it like every year
Yesterday refactored everything so far to Typescript.
Today struggled with types and RegExp
Then forgot a \s and my stacks were wrong
A few silly mistakes around substring(), but all in all an easy challenge, perfect for my having a go a test driven development.
Not particularly difficult but I made a hash of it. Issues around 'smallest', and what size I was comparing against.
My tree traversal techniques also found lacking
Not sure how I'd TDD this - need to have a go
Day of the xmas do, didn't have much time, and got my knickers in a twist. Part 2 not done at this stage
Day after the xmas do - too hungover Part 2 not done at this stage
A snowy weekend, not muchh time to spend on it but figured it out in the end
