Day 3: Mull It Over

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

Regex my beloved <3

Run with example input here

FindMul ← regex "mul\\((\\d+),(\\d+)\\)"

PartOne ← (
  &rs ∞ &fo "input-3.txt"
  FindMul
  /+≑(Γ—Β°βŠŸβ‹•βŠ1_2)
)

IdDont ← βŠ—β–‘"don't()"β™­

PartTwo ← (
  &rs ∞ &fo "input-3.txt"
  regex "mul\\(\\d+,\\d+\\)|do\\(\\)|don't\\(\\)"
  ⍒(IdDont.
    β†˜1βŠƒβ†˜β†™
    βŠ—β–‘"do()"β™­.
    βŠ‚β†˜1β†˜
  | IdDont.
    ≠⧻,
  )
  β–½β™­=0βŒ•β–‘"do()".
  ≑(Γ—Β°βŠŸβ‹•βŠ1_2β™­FindMul)β™­
  /+
)

Lisp

Just did some basic regex stuff.

Part 1 and 2

(defun p1-mult (str)
  "pulls out numbers and multiplies them, assumes already filtered by size"
  (let ((vals (ppcre:all-matches-as-strings "\\d+" str)))
    (apply #'* (or (mapcar #'parse-integer vals) '(0)))))

(defun p1-process-line (line)
  "look for mul, do the mul, and sum"
  (let ((ptrn "mul\\(\\d?\\d?\\d,\\d?\\d?\\d\\)"))
    (apply #'+ (mapcar #'p1-mult (ppcre:all-matches-as-strings ptrn line)))))

(defun run-p1 (file) 
  (let ((data (read-file file #'p1-process-line)))
    (apply #'+ data)))

(defun p2-process-line (line)
  "looks for mul, do, and don't"
  (let ((ptrn "(mul\\(\\d?\\d?\\d,\\d?\\d?\\d\\))|(do\\(\\))|(don't\\(\\))"))
    (ppcre:all-matches-as-strings ptrn line)))

(defun p2-filter (data)
  "expects list containing the string tokens (mul, do, don't) from the file"
  (let ((process t))
    (loop for x in data
          when (string= "don't()" x)
            do (setf process nil)
          when (string= "do()" x)
            do (setf process t)
          when process
            sum (p1-mult x))))

(defun run-p2 (file) 
  (let ((data (read-file file #'p2-process-line)))
    ;; treat the input as one line to make processing the do's and don't's easier
    (p2-filter (flatten data))))

Python

After a bunch of fiddling yesterday and today I finally managed to arrive at a regex-only solution for part 2. That re.DOTALL is crucial here.

import re
from pathlib import Path


def parse_input_one(input: str) -> list[tuple[int]]:
    p = re.compile(r"mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)")
    return [(int(m[0]), int(m[1])) for m in p.findall(input)]


def parse_input_two(input: str) -> list[tuple[int]]:
    p = re.compile(r"don't\(\).*?do\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)", re.DOTALL)
    return [(int(m[0]), int(m[1])) for m in p.findall(input) if m[0] and m[1]]


def part_one(input: str) -> int:
    pairs = parse_input_one(input)
    return sum(map(lambda v: v[0] * v[1], pairs))


def part_two(input: str) -> int:
    pairs = parse_input_two(input)
    return sum(map(lambda v: v[0] * v[1], pairs))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    input = Path("input").read_text("utf-8")
    print(part_one(input))
    print(part_two(input))

Smalltalk

I wrote matchesActual cause all of smalltalk’sstupid matchesDo: or whatever don’t give you the actual match with captures, only substrings (that wasted a good 40 minutes).

Also smalltalk really needs an index operator

day3p1: input
  | reg sum |
    reg := 'mul\((\d\d?\d?),(\d\d?\d?)\)' asRegex.
    sum := 0.
    
    reg matchesActual: input do: [ :m | " + sum at end cause operator precedence"
        sum := (m subexpression: 2) asInteger * (m subexpression: 3) asInteger + sum 
    ].
    
    ^ sum.
day3p2: input
  | reg sum do val |

    reg := 'do(\:?n''t)?\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)' asRegex.
    sum := 0.
    do := true.
    reg matchesActual: input do: [ :m |
        val := m subexpression: 1.
        (val at: 1) = $d ifTrue: [ do := (val size < 5) ]
        ifFalse: [ 
            do ifTrue: [ 
                sum := (m subexpression: 2) asInteger * (m subexpression: 3) asInteger + sum.
        ].  ].
    ].
    
    ^ sum.
