Day 1: Historian Hysteria

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://blocks.programming.dev/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Rust

    I’m doing it in Rust again this year. I stopped keeping up with it after day 3 last year, so let’s hope I last longer this time around.

    Solution Spoiler Alert
    use std::collections::HashMap;
    
    use crate::utils::read_lines;
    
    pub fn solution1() {
        let (mut id_list1, mut id_list2) = get_id_lists();
    
        id_list1.sort();
        id_list2.sort();
    
        let total_distance = id_list1
            .into_iter()
            .zip(id_list2)
            .map(|(left, right)| (left - right).abs())
            .sum::<i32>();
    
        println!("Total distance = {total_distance}");
    }
    
    pub fn solution2() {
        let (id_list1, id_list2) = get_id_lists();
    
        let id_count_map = id_list2
            .into_iter()
            .fold(HashMap::<_, i32>::new(), |mut map, id| {
                *map.entry(id).or_default() += 1i32;
    
                map
            });
    
        let similarity_score = id_list1
            .into_iter()
            .map(|id| id * id_count_map.get(&id).copied().unwrap_or_default())
            .sum::<i32>();
    
        println!("Similarity score = {similarity_score}");
    }
    
    fn get_id_lists() -> (Vec<i32>, Vec<i32>) {
        read_lines("src/day1/input.txt")
            .map(|line| {
                let mut ids = line.split_whitespace().map(|id| {
                    id.parse::<i32>()
                        .expect("Ids from input must be valid integers")
                });
    
                (
                    ids.next().expect("First Id on line must be present"),
                    ids.next().expect("Second Id on line must be present"),
                )
            })
            .unzip()
    }
    

    I’m keeping my solutions up on GitHub.
