Viml

I think viml is a very fun language, i like weird languages lol, so this year im doing it in viml while trying to use as many of the original ed/ex commands as i can (:d, :p, :a, :g, …)

Part 1
!cp ./puzzle1 ./puzzle1.editing
e ./puzzle1.editing

1,$sort
let row1 = []

g/^\d/let row1 = add(row1, str2nr(expand("<cword>"))) | norm 0dw
1d
1,$sort
g/^\d/execute 'norm cc' .. string(abs(expand("<cword>") - row1[line('.') - 1]))

$a|---ANSWER---
0
.
1,$-1g/^\d/call setline("$", str2nr(getline("$")) + str2nr(expand("<cword>")))
Part 2
read ./puzzle1

let cnt = 0
g/^\d/let cnt += expand("<cword>") *
            \ searchcount(#{pattern: '\s\+' .. expand("<cword>")}).total

echo cnt .. "\n"

w! ./puzzle1.editing

Raku

I’m trying warm up to Raku again.

Solution

github

use v6;

sub MAIN($input) {
    my $file = open $input;

    grammar LocationList {
        token TOP { <row>+%"\n" "\n"* }
        token row { <left=.id> " "+ <right=.id> }
        token id { \d+ }
    }

    my $locations = LocationList.parse($file.slurp);
    my @rows = $locations<row>.map({ (.<left>.Int, .<right>.Int)});
    my $part-one-solution = (@rows[*;0].sort Z- @rows[*;1].sort)».abs.sum;
    say "part 1: $part-one-solution";

    my $rbag = bag(@rows[*;1].sort);
    my $part-two-solution = @rows[*;0].map({ $_ * $rbag{$_}}).sum;
    say "part 2: $part-two-solution";
}

I’m happy to see that Lemmy no longer eats Raku code.

python

I didn’t realize it was december until this afternoon. I’ve generally chosen a new or spartan lang to challenge myself, but I’m going easy mode this year with python and just focusing on meeting the requirement.

solution
import aoc

def setup():
    lines = aoc.get_lines(1)
    l = [int(x.split()[0]) for x in lines]
    r = [int(x.split()[1]) for x in lines]
    return (l, r, 0)

def one():
    l, r, acc = setup()
    for p in zip(sorted(l), sorted(r)):
        acc += abs(p[0] - p[1])
    print(acc)

def two():
    l, r, acc = setup()
    for n in l:
        acc += n * r.count(n)
    print(acc)

one()
two()
