Day 9: Disk Fragmenter
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

J
Mostly-imperative code in J never looks that nice, but at least the matrix management comes out fairly clean.
Part 2 is slow because I didn’t cache the lengths of free intervals or the location of the leftmost free interval of a given length, instead just recalculating them every time.
One new-ish construct today is dyadic ]\
. The adverb \
applies its argument verb to sublists of its right argument list, the length of those sublists being specified by the absolute value of the left argument. If it’s positive, the sublists overlap; if negative, they tile. The wrinkle is that monadic ]
is actually the identity function – we actually want the sublists, not to do anything with them, so we apply the adverb \
to ]
. For example, _2 ]\ v
reshapes v
into a matrix of row length 2, without knowing the target length ahead of time like we would need to for $
