I had some trouble getting Part 2 to work, until I realized that there could be overlap ( blbleightwoqsqs -> 82).

def puzzle_one():
result_sum = 0
with open("inputs/day_01", "r", encoding="utf_8") as input_file:
for line in input_file:
number_list = [char for char in line if char.isnumeric()]
number = int(number_list[0] + number_list[-1])
result_sum += number
return result_sum
def puzzle_two():
regex = r"(?=(zero|one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))"

I still have a hard time understanding regex, but I think it's getting there.
A new C solution: without lookahead or backtracking! I keep a running tally of how many letters of each digit word were matched so far: https://github.com/sjmulder/aoc/blob/master/2023/c/day01.c
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
static const char names[][8] = {"zero", "one", "two", "three",
"four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};
int p1=0, p2=0, i,c;
int p1_first = -1, p1_last = -1;
int p2_first = -1, p2_last = -1;
int nmatched[10] = {0};
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
if (c == '\n') {
p1 += p1_first*10 + p1_last;
p2 += p2_first*10 + p2_last;
p1_first = p1_last = p2_first = p2_last = -1;
memset(nmatched, 0, sizeof(nmatched));
} else if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') {
if (p1_first == -1) p1_first = c-'0';
if (p2_first == -1) p2_first = c-'0';
p1_last = p2_last = c-'0';
memset(nmatched, 0, sizeof(nmatched));
} else for (i=0; i<10; i++)
/* advance or reset no. matched digit chars */
if (c != names[i][nmatched[i]++])
nmatched[i] = c == names[i][0];
/* matched to end? */
else if (!names[i][nmatched[i]]) {
if (p2_first == -1) p2_first = i;
p2_last = i;
nmatched[i] = 0;
}
printf("%d %d\n", p1, p2);
return 0;
}
And golfed down:
char*N[]={0,"one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine"};p,P,
i,c,a,b;A,B;m[10];main(){while((c=getchar())>0){c==10?p+=a*10+b,P+=A*10+B,a=b=A=
B=0:0;c>47&&c<58?b=B=c-48,a||(a=b),A||(A=b):0;for(i=10;--i;)c!=N[i][m[i]++]?m[i]
=c==*N[i]:!N[i][m[i]]?A||(A=i),B=i:0;}printf("%d %d\n",p,P);
I finally got my solutions done. I used rust. I feel like 114 lines (not including empty lines or driver code) for both solutions is pretty decent. If lemmy's code blocks are hard to read, I also put my solutions on github.

Thanks, used this as input for reading the Day 2 file and looping the lines, just getting started with rust :)
Trickier than expected! I ran into an issue with Lua patterns, so I had to revert to a more verbose solution, which I then used in Hare as well.

Oh, doing this is Rust is really simple.
I tried doing the same thing in Rust, but ended up doing it in Python instead.
Started a bit late due to setting up the thread and monitoring the leaderboard to open it up but still got it decently quick for having barely touched rust
Probably able to get it down shorter so might revisit it
Solution in C: https://github.com/sjmulder/aoc/blob/master/2023/c/day01-orig.c
Usually day 1 solutions are super short numeric things, this was a little more verbose. For part 2 I just loop over an array of digit names and use strncmp()
.
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
static const char * const nm[] = {"zero", "one", "two", "three",
"four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};
char buf[64], *s;
int p1=0,p2=0, p1f,p1l, p2f,p2l, d;
while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)) {
p1f = p1l = p2f = p2l = -1;
for (s=buf; *s; s++)
if (*s >= '0' && *s <= '9') {
d = *s-'0';
if (p1f == -1) p1f = d;
if (p2f == -1) p2f = d;
p1l = p2l = d;
} else for (d=0; d<10; d++) {
if (strncmp(s, nm[d], strlen(nm[d])))
continue;
if (p2f == -1) p2f = d;
p2l = d;
break;
}
p1 += p1f*10 + p1l;
p2 += p2f*10 + p2l;
}
printf("%d %d\n", p1, p2);
return 0;
}
Dart solution
This has got to be one of the biggest jumps in trickiness in a Day 1 puzzle. In the end I rolled my part 1 answer into the part 2 logic. [Edit: I've golfed it a bit since first posting it]
import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
var ds = '0123456789'.split('');
var wds = 'one two three four five six seven eight nine'.split(' ');
int s2d(String s) => s.length == 1 ? int.parse(s) : wds.indexOf(s) + 1;
int value(String s, List digits) {
var firsts = {for (var e in digits) s.indexOf(e): e}..remove(-1);
var lasts = {for (var e in digits) s.lastIndexOf(e): e}..remove(-1);
return s2d(firsts[firsts.keys.min]) * 10 + s2d(lasts[lasts.keys.max]);
}
part1(List lines) => lines.map((e) => value(e, ds)).sum;
part2(List lines) => lines.map((e) => value(e, ds + wds)).sum;
Solved part one in about thirty seconds. But wow, either my brain is just tired at this hour or I'm lacking in skill, but part two is harder than any other year has been on the first day. Anyway, I managed to solve it, but I absolutely hate it, and will definitely be coming back to try to clean this one up.

there where only two rules about posting here and you managed to break one of them
edit: oh sry, only one rule
Wow, I sure did. I was tired last night. I'll edit my solution in and fix my error.
I think I found a decently short solution for part 2 in python:
DIGITS = {
'one': '1',
'two': '2',
'three': '3',
'four': '4',
'five': '5',
'six': '6',
'seven': '7',
'eight': '8',
'nine': '9',
}
def find_digit(word: str) -> str:
for digit, value in DIGITS.items():
if word.startswith(digit):
return value
if word.startswith(value):
return value
return ''
total = 0
for line in puzzle.split('\n'):
digits = [
digit for i in range(len(line))
if (digit := find_digit(line[i:]))
]
total += int(digits[0] + digits[-1])
print(total)
Looks very elegant! I'm having trouble understanding how this finds digit "words" from the end of the line though, as they should be spelled backwards IIRC?
I.e. eno
, owt
, eerht
It simply finds all possible digits and then locates the last one through the reverse indexing. Itβs not efficient because thereβs no shortcircuiting, but thereβs no need to search the strings backwards, which is nice. Pythonβs startswith method is also hiding a lot of that other implementations have done explicitly.
My solution in rust. I'm sure there's a lot more clever ways to do it but this is what I came up with.
Code
use std::{io::prelude::*, fs::File, path::Path, io };
fn main()
{
run_solution(false);
println!("\nPress enter to continue");
let mut buffer = String::new();
io::stdin().read_line(&mut buffer).unwrap();
run_solution(true);
}
fn run_solution(check_for_spelled: bool)
{
let data = load_data("data/input");

One small thing that would make it easier to read would be to use (I don't know what the syntax is called) as opposed to the magic numbers for getting the ascii code for a character as a u8
, e.g. b'0'
instead of 48
.
Oh yeah that's a good point. I have seen that before but I didn't think of it at the time.
I wanted to see if it was possible to do part 1 in a single line of Python:
print(sum([(([int(i) for i in line if i.isdigit()][0]) * 10 + [int(i) for i in line if i.isdigit()][-1]) for line in open("input.txt")]))
I feel ok about part 1, and just terrible about part 2.

Thank you for sharing this. I also wrote a regular expression with \d|eno|owt
and so on, and I was not so proud of myself :). Good to know I wasn't the only one :).
My solutin in Elixir for both part 1 and part 2 is below. It does use regex and with that there are many different ways to accomplish the goal. I'm no regex master so I made it as simple as possible and relied on the language a bit more. I'm sure there are cooler solutions with no regex too, this is just what I settled on:
defmodule AdventOfCode.Day01 do
def part1(args) do
number_regex = ~r/([0-9])/
args
|> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
|> Enum.map(&first_and_last_number(&1, number_regex))
|> Enum.map(&number_list_to_integer/1)
|> Enum.sum()
end
def part2(args) do
number_regex = ~r/(?=(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))/
args
|> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
|> Enum.map(&first_and_last_number(&1, number_regex))
|> Enum.map(fn number -> Enum.map(number, &replace_word_with_number/1) end)
|> Enum.map(&number_list_to_integer/1)
|> Enum.sum()
end
defp first_and_last_number(string, regex) do
matches = Regex.scan(regex, string)
[_, first] = List.first(matches)
[_, last] = List.last(matches)
[first, last]
end
defp number_list_to_integer(list) do
list
|> List.to_string()
|> String.to_integer()
end
defp replace_word_with_number(string) do
numbers = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"]
String.replace(string, numbers, fn x ->
(Enum.find_index(numbers, &(&1 == x)) + 1)
|> Integer.to_string()
end)
end
end
Uiua solution
I may add solutions in Uiua depending on how easy I find them, so here's today's (also available to run online):
Inp β {"four82nine74" "hlpqrdh3" "7qt" "12" "1one"}
# if needle is longer than haystack, return zeros
SafeFind β ((β|-.;)< β©β§» , ,)

"123456789"
ββ‘ β @\s . "one two three four five six seven eight nine"
β©FindDigits
BuildNum β (/+β΅(/+ββ(Γ10β 1)(β 1β) β½β 0.β) /β₯)
β©BuildNum+,
or stripping away all the fluff:
Inp β {"four82nine74" "hlpqrdh3" "7qt" "12" "1one"}
ββ‘ β @\s."one two three four five six seven eight nine" "123456789"

β©(/+β΅(/+ββ(Γ10β1)(β1β)β½β 0.β)/β₯)+,
I did this in C. First part was fairly trivial, iterate over the line, find first and last number, easy.
Second part had me a bit worried i would need a more string friendly library/language, until i worked out that i can just strstr
to find "one", and then in place switch that to "o1e", and so on. Then run part1 code over the modified buffer. I originally did "1ne", but overlaps such as "eightwo" meant that i got the 2, but missed the 8.

Just realised how inefficient the sanitize function is, it iterates over the buffer way too many times. Should be restarting the strnstr from the location of the last hit instead of from the start.
Part 1 felt fairly pretty simple in Haskell:
import Data.Char (isDigit)
main = interact solve
solve :: String -> String
solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . filter isDigit) . lines
Part 2 was more of a struggle, though I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I ended up using concatMap inits . tails
to generate all substrings, in order of appearance so one3m
becomes ["","o","on","one","one3","one3m","","n","ne","ne3","ne3m","","e","e3","e3m","","3","3m","","m",""]
. I then wrote a function stringToDigit :: String -> Maybe Char
which simultaneously filtered out the digits and standardised them as Char
s.
import Data.List (inits, tails)
import Data.Char (isDigit, digitToInt)
import Data.Maybe (mapMaybe)
main = interact solve
solve :: String -> String
solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . mapMaybe stringToDigit . concatMap inits . tails) . lines
-- |string of first&last digit| |find all the digits | |all substrings of line|
stringToDigit "one" = Just '1'
stringToDigit "two" = Just '2'
stringToDigit "three" = Just '3'
stringToDigit "four" = Just '4'
stringToDigit "five" = Just '5'
stringToDigit "six" = Just '6'
stringToDigit "seven" = Just '7'
stringToDigit "eight" = Just '8'
stringToDigit "nine" = Just '9'
stringToDigit [x]
| isDigit x = Just x
| otherwise = Nothing
stringToDigit _ = Nothing
I went a bit excessively Haskell with it, but I had my fun!
Python 3
I'm trying to practice writing clear, commented, testable functions, so I added some things that are strictly unnecessary for the challenge (docstrings, error raising, type hints, tests...), but I think it's a necessary exercise for me. If anyone has comments or criticism about my attempt at "best practices," please let me know!
Also, I thought it was odd that the correct answer to part 2 requires that you allow for overlapping letters such as "threeight", but that doesn't occur in the sample input. I imagine that many people will hit a wall wondering why their answer is rejected.

Just getting my feet wet with coding after a decade of 0 programming. CS just didn't work out for me in school, so I swapped over to math. Trying to use Python on my desktop, with Notepad++ and Windows Shell.

Part-A in Python: https://github.com/pbui/advent-of-code-2023/blob/master/day01/day01-A.py
Was able to use a list comprehension to read the input.
Part-B in Python: https://github.com/pbui/advent-of-code-2023/blob/master/day01/day01-B.py
This was trickier...
Hint
You have to account for overlapping words such as: eightwo
. This actually simplifies things as you just need to go letter by letter and check if it is a digit or one of the words.
Update: Modified Part 2 to be more functional again by using a map
before I filter
Re. your hint, that's funny because I skipped the obvious optimization of skipping over matched letters out of laziness, but it would've actually broken the solution.
[Language: C#]
This isn't the most performant or elegant, it's the first one that worked. I have 3 kids and a full time job. If I get through any of these, it'll be first pass through and first try that gets the correct answer.
Part 1 was very easy, just iterated the string checking if the char was a digit. Ditto for the last, by reversing the string. Part 2 was also not super hard, I settled on re-using the iterative approach, checking each string lookup value first (on a substring of the current char), and if the current char isn't the start of a word, then checking if the char was a digit. Getting the last number required reversing the string and the lookup map.
Part 1:
var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 1\PuzzleInput.txt")));
int total = 0;
foreach (var item in list)
{
//forward
string digit1 = string.Empty;
string digit2 = string.Empty;
foreach (var c in item)
{
if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
{
digit1 += c;
break;
}
}
//reverse
foreach (var c in item.Reverse())
{
if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
{
digit2 += c;
break;
}
}
total += Int32.Parse(digit1 +digit2);
}
Console.WriteLine(total);
Part 2:
var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 1\PuzzleInput.txt")));
var numbers = new Dictionary() {
{"one" , 1}
,{"two" , 2}
,{"three" , 3}
,{"four" , 4}
,{"five" , 5}
,{"six" , 6}
,{"seven" , 7}
,{"eight" , 8}
, {"nine" , 9 }
};
int total = 0;
string digit1 = string.Empty;
string digit2 = string.Empty;
foreach (var item in list)
{
//forward
digit1 = getDigit(item, numbers);
digit2 = getDigit(new string(item.Reverse().ToArray()), numbers.ToDictionary(k => new string(k.Key.Reverse().ToArray()), k => k.Value));
total += Int32.Parse(digit1 + digit2);
}
Console.WriteLine(total);
string getDigit(string item, Dictionary numbers)
{
int index = 0;
int digit = 0;
foreach (var c in item)

var sub = item.AsSpan(index++);
