Day 7: Camel Cards

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/ , pastebin, or github (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)

    got stuck on both parts due to silly mistakes.
    On the other hand I’m no longer behind!

    code 
    input = File.read("input.txt").lines
rank = {
	'J' => 1,
	'2' => 2,
	'3' => 3,
	'4' => 4,
	'5' => 5,
	'6' => 6,
	'7' => 7,
	'8' => 8,	
	'9' => 9,
	'T' => 10,
	# 'J' => 11,
	'Q' => 12,
	'K' => 13,
	'A' => 14
}

hand = input.map do |line|
	split = line.split
	weights = split[0].chars.map {|c| rank[c]}
	{weights, split[1].to_i}
end

hand.sort! do |a, b|
	a_rank = get_rank(a[0], true)
	b_rank = get_rank(b[0], true)
	
	# puts "#{a}-#{a_rank} #{b}-#{b_rank}"
	next  1 if a_rank > b_rank
	next -1 if b_rank > a_rank

	val = 0
	5.times do |i| 
		val =  1 if a[0][i] > b[0][i]
		val = -1 if b[0][i] > a[0][i]
		break unless val == 0
	end
	val
end

sum = 0
hand.each_with_index do |card, i|
	sum += card[1]*(i+1)
end
puts sum


def get_rank(card : Array(Int32), joker = false ) : Float64 | Int32
	aa = card.uniq

	if joker
		card = aa.map { |c|
			combo = card.map {|a| a == 1 ? c : a }
			{combo, get_rank(combo)}
		}.max_by {|a| a[1]}[0]
		aa = card.uniq
	end
	
	rank = 6 - aa.size
	case rank
	when 3
		return 3.5 if card.count(aa[0]) == 3
		return 3   if card.count(aa[0]) == 2
		return 3   if card.count(aa[1]) == 2
		return 3.5
	when 4
		return 4 if card.count(aa[0]) == 3 || card.count(aa[0]) == 2
		return 4.5
	else 
		return rank
	end
