Day 2: Cube Conundrum


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)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

A solution in Nim language. Pretty straightforward code. Most logic is just parsing input + a bit of functional utils: allIt checks if all items in a list within limits to check if game is possible and mapIt collects red, green, blue cubes from each set of game.

https://codeberg.org/Archargelod/aoc23-nim/src/branch/master/day_02/solution.nim

import std/[strutils, strformat, sequtils]

type AOCSolution[T] = tuple[part1: T, part2: T]

type
  GameSet = object
    red, green, blue: int
  Game = object
    id: int
    sets: seq[GameSet]

const MaxSet = GameSet(red: 12, green: 13, blue: 14)

func parseGame(input: string): Game =
  result.id = input.split({':', ' '})[1].parseInt()
  let sets = input.split(": ")[1].split("; ").mapIt(it.split(", "))
  for gSet in sets:
    var gs = GameSet()
    for pair in gSet:
      let
        pair = pair.split()
        cCount = pair[0].parseInt
        cName = pair[1]

      case cName:
      of "red":
        gs.red = cCount
      of "green":
        gs.green = cCount
      of "blue":
        gs.blue = cCount

    result.sets.add gs

func isPossible(g: Game): bool =
  g.sets.allIt(
    it.red <= MaxSet.red and
    it.green <= MaxSet.green and
    it.blue <= MaxSet.blue
  )


func solve(lines: seq[string]): AOCSolution[int]=
  for line in lines:
    let game = line.parseGame()

    block p1:
      if game.isPossible():
        result.part1 += game.id

    block p2:
      let
        minRed = game.sets.mapIt(it.red).max()
        minGreen = game.sets.mapIt(it.green).max()
        minBlue = game.sets.mapIt(it.blue).max()

      result.part2 += minRed * minGreen * minBlue


when isMainModule:
  let input = readFile("./input.txt").strip()
  let (part1, part2) = solve(input.splitLines())

  echo &"Part 1: The sum of valid game IDs equals {part1}."
  echo &"Part 2: The sum of the sets' powers equals {part2}."

Another nim person! Have you joined the community? There are dozens of us!

Here's mine (no code blocks because kbin):

Have you joined the community?

Yep, but it is a bit quiet in there.

Good solution. I like your parsing with scanf. The only reason I didn't use it myself - is that I found out about std/strscans literally yesterday.

[-] cacheson@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I actually just learned about scanf while writing this. Only ended up using it in the one spot, since split worked well enough for the other bits. I really wanted to be able to use python-style unpacking, but in nim it only works for tuples. At least without writing macros, which I still haven't been able to wrap my head around.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nim@programming.dev
