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)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Solution: sort numbers using custom rules and compare if sorted == original. Part 2 is trivial.
    Runtime for both parts: 1.05 ms

    proc parseRules(input: string): Table[int, seq[int]] =
      for line in input.splitLines():
        let pair = line.split('|')
        let (a, b) = (pair[0].parseInt, pair[1].parseInt)
        discard result.hasKeyOrPut(a, newSeq[int]())
        result[a].add b
    
    proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
      let chunks = input.split("\n\n")
      let later = parseRules(chunks[0])
      for line in chunks[1].splitLines():
        let numbers = line.split(',').map(parseInt)
        let sorted = numbers.sorted(cmp =
          proc(a,b: int): int =
            if a in later and b in later[a]: -1
            elif b in later and a in later[b]: 1
            else: 0
        )
        if numbers == sorted:
          result.part1 += numbers[numbers.len div 2]
        else:
          result.part2 += sorted[sorted.len div 2]
