Welcome everyone to the 2023 advent of code! Thank you all for stopping by and participating in it in programming.dev whether youre new to the event or doing it again.

This is an unofficial community for the event as no official spot exists on lemmy but ill be running it as best I can with Sigmatics modding as well. Ill be running a solution megathread every day where you can share solutions with other participants to compare your answers and to see the things other people come up with


Day 1: Trebuchet?!


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

    Part 1 felt fairly pretty simple in Haskell:

    import Data.Char (isDigit)
    
    main = interact solve
    
    solve :: String -> String
    solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . filter isDigit) . lines
    

    Part 2 was more of a struggle, though I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I ended up using concatMap inits . tails to generate all substrings, in order of appearance so one3m becomes ["","o","on","one","one3","one3m","","n","ne","ne3","ne3m","","e","e3","e3m","","3","3m","","m",""]. I then wrote a function stringToDigit :: String -> Maybe Char which simultaneously filtered out the digits and standardised them as Chars.

    import Data.List (inits, tails)
    import Data.Char (isDigit, digitToInt)
    import Data.Maybe (mapMaybe)
    
    main = interact solve
    
    solve :: String -> String
    solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . mapMaybe stringToDigit . concatMap inits . tails) . lines
    --                             |string of first&last digit| |find all the digits |   |all substrings of line|
    
    stringToDigit "one"   = Just '1'
    stringToDigit "two"   = Just '2'
    stringToDigit "three" = Just '3'
    stringToDigit "four"  = Just '4'
    stringToDigit "five"  = Just '5'
    stringToDigit "six"   = Just '6'
    stringToDigit "seven" = Just '7'
    stringToDigit "eight" = Just '8'
    stringToDigit "nine"  = Just '9'
    stringToDigit [x]
      | isDigit x         = Just x
      | otherwise         = Nothing
    stringToDigit _       = Nothing
    

    I went a bit excessively Haskell with it, but I had my fun!
