Learned a lot about the Josephus' Problem today! Solved part 1 by using a dict, but eventually ended up just adding the mathematical shortcut and rewriting both parts to use deque() for performance. Part 2 was tricky, since k (the elf to remove after all presents were stolen from them) is a index that changes over time. No tries for a solution that was performant enough using lists and dicts were succesfull, so by inspiration from the subreddit the final solution code is based on 2 deque() that pops and appends between them. There are 2 part 1 solutions. - A correct implementation of the Josephus' Problem, using deque(). Recursion would have worked as well, but Python do not like recursions. - The mathematical superior version, with a link to the Youtube video were it is introduced. |

Advent of Code 2016
Solutions for #aoc2016 in Python 3 (3.12.7).
Setup
Since I want to remember, this is what was used to solve the puzzles.
- Lenovo Thinkpad x260 laptop with Arch Linux.
- Hyprland with gBar.
- Editor: Zed.
- Terminal: Alacritty.
Help scripts
Display all solved puzzles:
python aoc.py
To bootstrap a new puzzle (creates input/<day_no>.txt and output/day_<day_no>.py):
python aoc.py <day_no> <puzzle_name>
Manually copy the puzzle input from https://adventofcode.com and paste it in input/<day_no>.txt
to start coding.
wl-paste > input/<day_no>.txt
Solve separate puzzle (replace XX with the puzzle number):
python -m output.day_XX
Solve separate puzzle using stdin (replace XX with the puzzle number):
wl-paste | python -m output.day_XX
cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX
Execute separate puzzle on file save (replace XX with the puzzle number):
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'wlpaste | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -r python -m output.day_XX
(requires entr and wl-paste, Mac users can instead use pbpaste. If you
prefer X at Linux, use xclip -selection clipboard -o).
To lint files:
ls output/*.py | entr -r -c flake8 output --ignore=E741,E501,E203
