Advent of Code 2022 solutions in Python.

The solutions are intended for Python 3.11, although the majority of the solutions should work even with older versions of Python. Required Python packages are specified in requirements.txt. Use pip to install them.

pip install -r requirements.txt

The repository contains a script designed for running solutions and comparing expected result with produced result. To use it, navigate first to the src directory inside the project repository.

cd src

You can get the script help using --help parameter.

python main.py --help

There are two required parameters to specify which solution should be executed. To run solution for day 6 part a, use the following command.

python main.py 6 a

To select a different input for the solution, use option --task-input. The default value is test. To execute solution with actual puzzle input run the following command.

python main.py 6 a --task-input puzzle

The command should result the following output.

The solutions were optimized for implementation speed (I didn't want to finish last obviously 🐢) with reasonable focus on code quality on the other hand. Therefore, used algorithms are by no means optimal and there should be cleaner and faster solutions around.
