Welcome everyone to the 2023 advent of code! Thank you all for stopping by and participating in it in programming.dev whether youre new to the event or doing it again.
This is an unofficial community for the event as no official spot exists on lemmy but ill be running it as best I can with Sigmatics modding as well. Ill be running a solution megathread every day where you can share solutions with other participants to compare your answers and to see the things other people come up with
Day 1: Trebuchet?!
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)
- Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)
FAQ
- What is this?: Here is a post with a large amount of details: https://programming.dev/post/6637268
- Where do I participate?: https://adventofcode.com/
- Is there a leaderboard for the community?: We have a programming.dev leaderboard with the info on how to join in this post: https://programming.dev/post/6631465
πThis post will be unlocked when there is a decent amount of submissions on the leaderboard to avoid cheating for top spots
π Edit: Post has been unlocked after 6 minutes
I have now, thanks for the tip!
And that's some very compact code! I've only just started with nim, so seeing more nim solutions is a great way to learn π
I'm not doing anything too fancy here, just the first stuff that comes to mind and gets the job done. The filterIt template was pretty handy for part 1, though. I assume at some point in these puzzles I'll have to actually write some types and procedures instead of just using nested loops for everything.
I think it's a pretty cool language overall. I've only used it for one project so far, so there's a bunch that I still don't know. Haven't been able to wrap my head around how macros work, for example, though I've sort of figured out how to write really basic templates.
I looked into the iterators and they are really handy, they remind me of C#'s Linq syntax.
