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

Haskell

Not a lot of time to come up with a pretty solution today; sorry.

Ugly first solution
import Data.List
import Data.Maybe
import Data.Sequence (Seq)
import Data.Sequence qualified as Seq

readInput :: String -> Seq (Maybe Int, Int)
readInput =
  Seq.fromList
    . zip (intersperse Nothing $ map Just [0 ..])
    . (map (read . singleton) . head . lines)

expand :: Seq (Maybe Int, Int) -> [Maybe Int]
expand = concatMap (uncurry $ flip replicate)

compact :: Seq (Maybe Int, Int) -> Seq (Maybe Int, Int)
compact chunks =
  case Seq.spanr (isNothing . fst) chunks of
    (suffix, Seq.Empty) -> suffix
    (suffix, chunks' Seq.:|> file@(_, fileSize)) ->
      case Seq.breakl (\(id, size) -> isNothing id && size >= fileSize) chunks' of
        (_, Seq.Empty) -> compact chunks' Seq.>< file Seq.<| suffix
        (prefix, (Nothing, gapSize) Seq.:<| chunks'') ->
          compact $ prefix Seq.>< file Seq.<| (Nothing, gapSize - fileSize) Seq.<| chunks'' Seq.>< (Nothing, fileSize) Seq.<| suffix

part1, part2 :: Seq (Maybe Int, Int) -> Int
part1 input =
  let blocks = dropWhileEnd isNothing $ expand input
      files = catMaybes blocks
      space = length blocks - length files
      compacted = take (length files) $ fill blocks (reverse files)
   in sum $ zipWith (*) [0 ..] compacted
  where
    fill (Nothing : xs) (y : ys) = y : fill xs ys
    fill (Just x : xs) ys = x : fill xs ys
part2 = sum . zipWith (\i id -> maybe 0 (* i) id) [0 ..] . expand . compact

main = do
  input <- readInput <$> readFile "input09"
  print $ part1 input
  print $ part2 input

Second attempt! I like this one much better.

Edit: down to 0.040 secs now!

import Control.Arrow
import Data.Either
import Data.List
import Data.Map (Map)
import Data.Map qualified as Map

type Layout = ([(Int, (Int, Int))], Map Int Int)

readInput :: String -> Layout
readInput =
  map (read . singleton) . head . lines
    >>> (scanl' (+) 0 >>= zip) -- list of (pos, len)
    >>> zipWith ($) (intersperse Right [Left . (id,) | id <- [0 ..]])
    >>> partitionEithers
    >>> filter ((> 0) . snd . snd) *** Map.filter (> 0) . Map.fromAscList

checksum :: Layout -> Int
checksum = sum . map (\(id, (pos, len)) -> id * len * (2 * pos + len - 1) `div` 2) . fst

compact :: (Int -> Int -> Bool) -> Layout -> Layout
compact select (files, spaces) = foldr moveFile ([], spaces) files
  where
    moveFile file@(fileId, (filePos, fileLen)) (files, spaces) =
      let candidates = Map.assocs $ fst . Map.split filePos $ spaces
       in case find (select fileLen . snd) candidates of
            Just (spacePos, spaceLen) ->
              let spaces' = Map.delete spacePos spaces
               in if spaceLen >= fileLen
                    then
                      ( (fileId, (spacePos, fileLen)) : files,
                        if spaceLen == fileLen
                          then spaces'
                          else Map.insert (spacePos + fileLen) (spaceLen - fileLen) spaces'
                      )
                    else
                      moveFile
                        (fileId, (filePos + spaceLen, fileLen - spaceLen))
                        ((fileId, (spacePos, spaceLen)) : files, spaces')
            Nothing -> (file : files, spaces)

main = do
  input <- readInput <$> readFile "input09"
  mapM_ (print . checksum . ($ input) . compact) [const $ const True, (<=)]

It will always be a wonder to me how you manage to do so much in so few lines, even your naive solution only takes a few seconds to run. 🤯

Aww, thank you <3

It’s just practice, I guess? (The maths degree probably doesn’t hurt either)

Was really blanking on how to do this one nicely, so a bunch of stacked loops it is…
Also ended up writing two separate solutions for the first and second part, since I couldn’t get acceptable performance otherwise. Still takes half a second on my machine, mainly on the second part.

This is technically the second implementation, the first one took minutes to calculate, so I wasn’t really okay with stamping it as my solution-of-choice.

Can definitely still be improved, but I’ve been poking and prodding at this code for hours on end now, so it’s long past time to let it sit for a while and see if I get any better ideas later.

C#
int[] layout = new int[0];
public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
{
  layout = string.Join("", lines).ToCharArray().Select(c => int.Parse(c.ToString())).ToArray();
}

public void Part1()
{
  ushort?[] blocks = BuildBlockmap().ToArray();

  var it = 0;
  for (var i = blocks.Length - 1; i > it; i--)
  {
    if (blocks[i] == null)
      continue;

    while (it < blocks.Length && blocks[it] != null)
      ++it;

    if (it >= blocks.Length)
      break;

    (blocks[it], blocks[i]) = (blocks[i], null);
  }

  long checksum = 0;
  foreach (var part in blocks.OfType<ushort>().Select((b, i) => i * b))
    checksum += part;

  Console.WriteLine($"Checksum: {checksum}");
}

public void Part2()
{
  var sparse = BuildSparsemap().ToList();

  for (var i = sparse.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
  {
    if (sparse[i].Item1 == null)
      continue;

    for (var j = 0; j < i; ++j)
    {
      if (sparse[j].Item1 != null)
        continue;

      if (sparse[i].Item2 > sparse[j].Item2)
        continue;

      var size = sparse[j].Item2;
      size -= sparse[i].Item2;

      (sparse[j], sparse[i]) = (sparse[i], (null, sparse[i].Item2));

      if (i + 1 < sparse.Count && sparse[i + 1].Item1 == null)
      {
        sparse[i] = (null, (ushort)(sparse[i].Item2 + sparse[i + 1].Item2));
        sparse.RemoveAt(i + 1);
      }

      if (sparse[i - 1].Item1 == null)
      {
        sparse[i - 1] = (null, (ushort)(sparse[i - 1].Item2 + sparse[i].Item2));
        sparse.RemoveAt(i);
      }

      if (size > 0)
        sparse.Insert(j + 1, (null, size));

      j = i + 1;
    }
  }

  int ind = 0;
  long checksum = 0;
  foreach (var (val, cnt) in sparse)
    for (var i = 0; i < cnt; ++i)
    {
      checksum += (val ?? 0) * ind;
      ++ind;
    }

  Console.WriteLine($"Checksum: {checksum}");
}

IEnumerable<ushort?> BuildBlockmap()
{
  ushort blockit = 0;
  bool block = true;
  foreach (var value in layout)
  {
    for (int i = 0; i < value; ++i)
      yield return block ? blockit : null;
    if (block)
      blockit++;
    block = !block;
  }
}

IEnumerable<(ushort?, ushort)> BuildSparsemap()
{
  ushort blockit = 0;
  bool block = true;
  foreach (var value in layout)
  {
    if (block)
      yield return (blockit++, (ushort)value);
    else
      yield return (null, (ushort)value);
    block = !block;
  }
