This is my attempt to solve one of the Advent of Code puzzle using TypeScript

I'm not new to Typescript, but I'm also a junior developer
Learning to debug is part of a developer's career and I'm challenging myself to learn how to debug better and faster
The way I see it, the more I see the same errors on screen, the easier it will be for me to fix them

• To make this work, first I had to set up the TS packages
• Install dependencies
• Figure out why TS wasn't running on Node
• Change tsconfig.json and package.json files
• Run and see the console.log on Node

The main issue was to figure out how to read the input
The logic wasn't that hard to figure out

Again, the issues was to use the input data
It took me a little while to find a solution by reading a few forums
The logic was a bit simple, although I was multiplying by 2 at the wrong time
After a few attempts and some console.logs I managed to get the rigth answer

After finding the right answer for the amount of bow length needed, I go stuck at finding the amount of ribbon
While browsing for something online, I realised I misread the instructions to how to find the length of bow needed
So, I went back to my previous solution and changed it to the ACTUAL right one

Got somewhere figuring out the positions of [x,y] resulting in [41 , -95]

Spent some time trying to figure out what to do with those coordenates

Came across a github repo with a Javascript solution, but the code was hard to understand

Asked chatgpt to explain and 'convert' to Typescript

Learned to create a new Set() (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/utility-types.html) and Set.prototype.add() (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Set/add) unique elements to the new Set

Also learned I can use Set.prototype.size to count how many unique elements are there in the Set

Found an interesting video on YouTube that discuss the questions of an Advent of Code challenge/puzzle

Realised I had to split the entries in two Sets

Basically copied and pasted the previous code and added another Set and logic to see who was going where

Learned to 'force' an index in a for...of loop by using destructuring and array.entries()

Got to a point where I have everything right, but don't know how to use the information I have (again) =/
