Advent of Code Solutions

This repository contains my solutions to the Advent of Code challenges, showcasing a variety of programming languages each year.

Languages I chose are languages I want to learn or languages I want to get more comfortable with.

Note: I will be leaving comments with my mistakes they'll be formatted something like // ! (content).

Also I will be leaving clarification/note comments they'll be formatted something like // ? (content)

Status

Total completed:

• 2015: Snow falls 🌨️ (25/25)
  • Language: C
  • Period: 18-Nov-2023 - 18-Dec-2023
  • Total Time: 16h 1m
  • Reasoning: I'm using C in university, so it's better if I get more comfortable with it.
  • Conclusion: This was the biggest energy drain in a while. I learned a lot about C... I don't want to touch C for a while.
• 2016: Snow falls 🌨️ (25/25)
  • Language: Python
  • Period: 19-Dec-2023 - 14-Feb-2024
  • Total Time: 03h 20m 59s
  • Reasoning: Why not complete 2016 with the language I have a burning hatred for? Sounds like fun. 😢
  • Conclusion: I still hate Python. But I can't deny it's power. >.>
• 2017: Abandoned 🛑 (1/25)
  • Language: LOLCODE
  • Period: 11-Nov-2024 - 11-Nov-2024
  • Total Time: 1h 22m 49s
  • Reasoning: Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. (if I make more portal references istg)
  • Conclusion: This language breaks my brain. I give up.

Structure

• Each year is organized into its own directory (e.g., 2023) containing subdirectories for each day (e.g., day_01, day_02, ...).
• Inside each day's directory, you'll find the source code written in the specified language and any necessary input files.
• Each year's directory also contains a README.md file with a brief description of the language used and any other relevant information. (such as running instructions)

Note: I run all of my solutions on a Linux machine, so I cannot guarantee that they will work on other platforms.

If you run into any issues, please open an issue or submit a pull request. I will do my best to help you get it working.

Usage

Feel free to explore these solutions as a reference to your own learning. I learned a lot from reading other people's code when I was first starting out. Maybe you will too!

Disclaimer

These solutions don't aim for efficiency or correctness. They are simply the first solutions that I came up with.
