Advent of Code 2024

Practising my acquired knowledge of go.

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️ Most of these solutions are uploaded without any sort of cleanup, so lower expectations on code readibility and abstraction.

The goal is to solve each day's problems while learning a bit of go, not to come up with the optimal, cleanest solutions.

Running

For each day, copy the template/ directory and create a dayXX/ directory. Make sure to modify the package name, and in main.go replace the previous day's import.

# Include debug logs
go run debug main.go a 01

# Release mode
go run r main.go a 01

Testing

go test ./dayXX

When will I get bored?

And some notes of what I learned

• Day1
• Day2 - append modifies the original slice
• Day3
• Day4 - make sure to copy slices as there are hacky ways in which my slices can be modified due to reallocations
• Day5
• Day6 - oh so we cannot place obstacles in positions that the guard has already checked but is facing away from?
• Day7
• Day8
• Day9
• Day10
• Day11
• Day12
• Day13
• Day14
• Day15
• Day16
• Day17
  • A
  • B - I am a bit lazy to do this one
• Day18
• Day19
• Day20
• Day21
• Day22
• Day23
• Day24
