Day 7: Bridge Repair
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)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Haskell
A surprisingly gentle one for the weekend! Avoiding string operations for concatenate
got the runtime down below one second on my machine.
import Control.Arrow
import Control.Monad
import Data.List
import Data.Maybe
readInput :: String -> [(Int, [Int])]
readInput = lines >>> map (break (== ':') >>> (read *** map read . words . tail))
equatable :: [Int -> Int -> Int] -> (Int, [Int]) -> Bool
equatable ops (x, y : ys) = elem x $ foldM apply y ys
where
apply a y = (\op -> a `op` y) <$> ops
concatenate :: Int -> Int -> Int
concatenate x y = x * mag y + y
where
mag z = fromJust $ find (> z) $ iterate (* 10) 10
main = do
input <- readInput <$> readFile "input07"
mapM_
(print . sum . map fst . (`filter` input) . equatable)
[ [(+), (*)],
[(+), (*), concatenate]
]
Since all operations increase the accumulator, I tried putting a guard (a <= x)
in apply
, but it doesnโt actually help all that much (0.65s -> 0.43s).
0.65 -> 0.43 sounds pretty strong, isnโt that a one-fourth speedup?
Edit: I was able to achieve a 30% speed improvement using this on my solution
I wanted to this the way yo did, by repeatedly applying functions, but I didnโt dare to because I like to mess up and spend some minutes debugging signatures, may I ask what your IDE setup is for the LSP-Hints with Haskell?
Setting up on my PC was a little bit of a pain because it needed matching ghc
and ghcide
versions, so I hadnโt bothered doing it on my Laptop yet.
Ah, well, I have a bit of a weird setup. GHC is 9.8.4, built from git. Iโm using HLS version 2.9.0.1 (again built from git) under Emacs with the LSP and flycheck packages. There are probably much easier ways of getting it to work :)
I use neovim with haskell-tools.nvim
plugin. For ghc
, haskell-language-server
and others I use nix
which, among other benefits makes my development environment reproducible and all haskellPackages are built on the same version so there are no missmatches.
But, as much as I love nix
, there are probably easier ways to setup your environment.
I just checked and I have haskell-tools.nvim on my PC but it somehow crashes the default config of the autocompletion for me, which I am too inexperienced to debug. Iโll try it nonetheless, since I donโt have autocompletion on the laptop anyways, thank you for the suggestion!
