Sorry for the delay posting this one, Ategon seemed to have it covered, so I forgot :D I will do better.

I started poking at doing a proper lexer/parser, but then I thought about how early in AoC it is and how low the chance is that the second part will require proper parsing.

So therefore; hello regex my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.

List<string> instructions = new List<string>();

public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
{
  foreach (var line in lines)
    instructions.AddRange(Regex.Matches(line, @"mul\(\d+,\d+\)|do\(\)|don't\(\)").Select(m => m.Value));
}

public void Part1()
{
  var sum = instructions.Select(mul => Regex.Match(mul, @"(\d+),(\d+)").Groups.Values.Skip(1).Select(g => int.Parse(g.Value))).Select(cc => cc.Aggregate(1, (acc, val) => acc * val)).Sum();
  Console.WriteLine($"Sum: {sum}");
}
public void Part2()
{
  bool enabled = true;
  long sum = 0;
  foreach(var inst in instructions)
  {
    if (inst.StartsWith("don't"))
      enabled = false;
    else if (inst.StartsWith("do"))
      enabled = true;
    else if (enabled)
      sum += Regex.Match(inst, @"(\d+),(\d+)").Groups.Values.Skip(1).Select(g => int.Parse(g.Value)).Aggregate(1, (acc, val) => acc * val);
  }
  Console.WriteLine($"Sum: {sum}");
}

C

Yay parsers! I've gotten quite comfortable writing these with C. Using out pointers arguments for the cursor that are only updated if the match is successful makes for easy bookkeeping.

#include "common.h"

static int
parse_exact(const char **stringp, const char *expect)
{
	const char *s = *stringp;
	int i;

	for (i=0; s[i] && expect[i] && s[i] == expect[i]; i++)
		;
	if (expect[i])
		return 0;

	*stringp  = &s[i];
	return 1;
}

	int val;

	val = (int)strtol(*stringp, &end, 10);
	if (end == *stringp)
		return 0;

	*stringp = end;
	if (outp) *outp = val;
	return 1;
}

parse_mul(const char **stringp, int *ap, int *bp)

		return 0;

	*stringp = cur;
	if (ap) *ap = a;
	if (bp) *bp = b;
	return 1;
}

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	static char buf[32*1024];
	const char *cur;
	size_t nr;
	int p1=0,p2=0, a,b, dont=0;

	if (argc > 1)
		DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));

	nr = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), stdin);
	assert(!ferror(stdin));
	assert(nr != sizeof(buf));
	buf[nr] = '\0';

	for (cur = buf; *cur; )

Nim

From a first glance it was obviously a regex problem.
I'm using tinyre here instead of stdlib re library just because I'm more familiar with it.

import pkg/tinyre

proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
  var allow = true
  for match in input.match(reG"mul\(\d+,\d+\)|do\(\)|don't\(\)"):
    if match == "do()": allow = true
    elif match == "don't()": allow = false
    else:
      let pair = match[4..^2].split(',')
      let mult = pair[0].parseInt * pair[1].parseInt
      result.part1 += mult
      if allow: result.part2 += mult

Codeberg repo

I couldn't figure it out in haskell, so I went with bash for the first part

Shell

cat example | grep -Eo "mul\([[:digit:]]{1,3},[[:digit:]]{1,3}\)" | cut -d "(" -f 2 | tr -d ")" | tr "," "*" | paste -sd+ | bc

but this wouldn't rock anymore in the second part, so I had to resort to python for it

Python

import sys

f = "\n".join(sys.stdin.readlines())

f = f.replace("don't()", "\ndon't()\n")
f = f.replace("do()", "\ndo()\n")

import re

enabled = True
muls = []
for line in f.split("\n"):
    if line == "don't()":
        enabled = False
    if line == "do()":
        enabled = True
    if enabled:
        for match in re.finditer(r"mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)", line):
            muls.append(int(match.group(1)) * int(match.group(2)))
        pass
    pass

print(sum(muls))

We can take advantage of the manageable size of the input to avoid explicit looping and mutable state; instead, construct vectors which give, for each character position in the input, the position of the most recent do() and most recent don't(); for part 2 a multiplication is enabled if the position of the most recent do() (counting start of input as 0) is greater than that of the most recent don't() (counting start of input as minus infinity).

Rust with nom parser

Decided to give it a go with the nom parser (first time using this crate). Turned out quite nicely. Had some issues with the alt combinator: All alternatives have to return the same type, using a enum to wrap all options did the trick.

use memmap2::Mmap;
use nom::{
    branch::alt, bytes::complete::*, character::complete::*, combinator::map, multi::many_till,
    sequence::tuple, AsBytes, IResult,

    let file = std::fs::File::open("input.txt")?;
    let mmap = unsafe { Mmap::map(&file)? };

    let mut sum_part1 = 0;
    let mut sum_part2 = 0;
    let mut enabled = true;

    let mut cursor = mmap.as_bytes();
    while let Ok(token) = parse(cursor) {
        match token.1 .1 {
            Token::Do => enabled = true,
            Token::Dont => enabled = false,
            Token::Mul(left, right) => {
                let prod = left * right;
                sum_part1 += prod;
                if enabled {
                    sum_part2 += prod;
                }
            }
        }

        cursor = token.0;
    }

    println!("part1: {} part2: {}", sum_part1, sum_part2);

    Ok(())

Solution on my github (Made it public now)

Go

Part 1, just find the regex groups, parse to int, and done.

func part1() {
	file, _ := os.Open("input.txt")
	defer file.Close()
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)

	re := regexp.MustCompile(`mul\(([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{1,3})\)`)
	product := 0

	for scanner.Scan() {
		line := scanner.Text()
		submatches := re.FindAllStringSubmatch(line, -1)

		for _, s := range submatches {
			a, _ := strconv.Atoi(s[1])
			b, _ := strconv.Atoi(s[2])
			product += (a * b)
		}
	}

	fmt.Println(product)
}

Part 2, not so simple. Ended up doing some weird hack with a map to check if the multiplication was enabled or not. Also instead of finding regex groups I had to find the indices, and then interpret what those mean... Not very readable code I'm afraid

func part2() {
	file, _ := os.Open("input.txt")
	defer file.Close()
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)

	mulRE := regexp.MustCompile(`mul\(([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{1,3})\)`)
	doRE := regexp.MustCompile(`do\(\)`)
	dontRE := regexp.MustCompile(`don't\(\)`)
	product := 0
	enabled := true

	for scanner.Scan() {
		line := scanner.Text()
		doIndices := doRE.FindAllStringIndex(line, -1)
		dontIndices := dontRE.FindAllStringIndex(line, -1)
		mulSubIndices := mulRE.FindAllStringSubmatchIndex(line, -1)

		mapIndices := make(map[int]string)
		for _, do := range doIndices {
			mapIndices[do[0]] = "do"
		}
		for _, dont := range dontIndices {
			mapIndices[dont[0]] = "dont"
		}
		for _, mul := range mulSubIndices {
			mapIndices[mul[0]] = "mul"
		}

		nextMatch := 0

		for i := 0; i < len(line); i++ {
			val, ok := mapIndices[i]
			if ok && val == "do" {
				enabled = true
			} else if ok && val == "dont" {
				enabled = false
			} else if ok && val == "mul" {
				if enabled {
					match := mulSubIndices[nextMatch]
					a, _ := strconv.Atoi(string(line[match[2]:match[3]]))
					b, _ := strconv.Atoi(string(line[match[4]:match[5]]))
					product += (a * b)
				}
				nextMatch++
			}
		}
	}

	fmt.Println(product)
}

import ../aoc, re, sequtils, strutils, math

proc mulsum*(line:string):int=

  let pairs = matches.mapIt(it[4..^2].split(',').map(parseInt))
  pairs.mapIt(it[0]*it[1]).sum

proc filter*(line:string):int=
  var state = true;
  var i=0
  while i < line.len:
    if state:
      let off = line.find("don't()", i)
      if off == -1:

      result += line[i..<off].mulsum
      i = off+6

  if state:
    result += line[i..^1].mulsum

proc solve*(input:string): array[2,int] =
  #part 1&2
  result = [input.mulsum, input.filter]

I had a nicer solution in mind for part 2, but for some reason nre didn't want to work for me, and re couldn't give me the start/end or all results, so I ended up doing this skip/toggle approach.

Also initially I was doing it line by line out of habit from other puzzles, but then ofc the don't()s didn't propagate to the next line.

Rust

Regex made this one pretty straightforward. The second part additionally looks for do() and don't() in the same regex, then we do a case distinction on the match.

use regex::{Regex, Captures};

fn mul_cap(cap: Captures) -> i32 {
    let a = cap.get(1).unwrap().as_str().parse::<i32>().unwrap();
    let b = cap.get(2).unwrap().as_str().parse::<i32>().unwrap();
    a * b
}

fn part1(input: String) {
    let re = Regex::new(r"mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)").unwrap();
    let res = re.captures_iter(&input).map(mul_cap).sum::<i32>();
    println!("{res}");
}

fn part2(input: String) {
    let re = Regex::new(r"do\(\)|don't\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)").unwrap();
    let mut enabled = true;
    let mut res = 0;
    for cap in re.captures_iter(&input) {
        match cap.get(0).unwrap().as_str() {
            "do()" => enabled = true,
            "don't()" => enabled = false,
            _ if enabled => res += mul_cap(cap),
            _ => {}
        }
    }
    println!("{res}");

Definitely not my prettiest code ever. It would probably look nicer if I used regex or some parsing library, but I took on the self-imposed challenge of not using third party libraries. Also, this is already further than I made it last year!

Elixir

First time writing Elixir. It's probably janky af.

I've had some help from AI to get some pointers along the way. I'm not competing in any way, just trying to learn and have fun.

~~Part 2 is currently not working, and I can't figure out why. I'm trying to just remove everything from "don't()" to "do()" and just pass the rest through the working solution for part 1. Should work, right?

Any pointers?~~

edit; working solution:

defmodule Three do
  def get_input do
    File.read!("./input.txt")
  end

  def extract_operations(input) do
    Regex.scan(~r/mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)/, input)
    |> Enum.map(fn [_op, num1, num2] ->
      num1 = String.to_integer(num1)
      num2 = String.to_integer(num2)
      [num1 * num2]
    end)
  end

  def sum_products(ops) do
    List.flatten(ops)
    |> Enum.filter(fn x -> is_integer(x) end)
    |> Enum.sum()
  end

  def part1 do
    extract_operations(get_input())
    |> sum_products()
  end

  def part2 do
    String.split(get_input(), ~r/don\'t\(\)[\s\S]*?do\(\)/)
    |> Enum.map(&extract_operations/1)
    |> sum_products()
  end
end

IO.puts("part 1: #{Three.part1()}")
IO.puts("part 2: #{Three.part2()}")

Python

def process(input, part2=False):
    if part2:
        input = re.sub(r'don\'t\(\).+?do\(\)', '', input) # remove everything between don't() and do()
    total = [ int(i[0]) * int(i[1]) for i in re.findall(r'mul\((\d+),(\d+)\)', input) ]
    return sum(total)

Given the structure of the input file, we just have to ignore everything between don't() and do(), so remove those from the instructions before processing.

Gleam

Struggled with the second part as I am still very new to this very cool language, but got there after scrolling for some inspiration.

import gleam/int
import gleam/io

  let assert Ok(data) = simplifile.read("input.in")
  part_one(data) |> io.debug
  part_two(data) |> io.debug
}

fn part_one(data) {
  let assert Ok(multiplication_pattern) =
    regex.from_string("mul\\(\\d{1,3},\\d{1,3}\\)")
  let assert Ok(digit_pattern) = regex.from_string("\\d{1,3},\\d{1,3}")
  let multiplications =
    regex.scan(multiplication_pattern, data)
    |> list.flat_map(fn(reg) {
      regex.scan(digit_pattern, reg.content)
      |> list.map(fn(digits) {
        digits.content
        |> string.split(",")
        |> list.map(fn(x) { x |> int.parse |> result.unwrap(0) })
        |> list.reduce(fn(a, b) { a * b })
        |> result.unwrap(0)
      })
    })
    |> list.reduce(fn(a, b) { a + b })
    |> result.unwrap(0)
}

fn part_two(data) {
  let data = "do()" <> string.replace(data, "\n", "") <> "don't()"
  let assert Ok(pattern) = regex.from_string("do\\(\\).*?don't\\(\\)")
  regex.scan(pattern, data)
  |> list.map(fn(input) { input.content |> part_one })
  |> list.reduce(fn(a, b) { a + b })
}

Kotlin

Just the standard Regex stuff. I found this website to be very helpful to write the patterns. (Very useful in general)

fun main() {
    fun part1(input: List<String>): Int =
        Regex("""mul\(\d+,\d+\)""").findAll(input.joinToString()).sumOf {
            with(Regex("""\d+""").findAll(it.value)) { this.first().value.toInt() * this.last().value.toInt() }
        }

    fun part2(input: List<String>): Int {
        var isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = true  // by default
        return Regex("""mul\(\d+,\d+\)|do\(\)|don't\(\)""").findAll(input.joinToString()).fold(0) { acc, instruction ->
            when (instruction.value) {
                "do()" -> acc.also { isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = true }
                "don't()" -> acc.also { isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = false }
                else -> {
                    if (isMultiplyInstructionEnabled) {
                        acc + with(Regex("""\d+""").findAll(instruction.value)) { this.first().value.toInt() * this.last().value.toInt() }
                    } else acc
                }
            }
        }
    }

    val testInputPart1 = readInput("Day03_test_part1")
    val testInputPart2 = readInput("Day03_test_part2")
    check(part1(testInputPart1) == 161)
    check(part2(testInputPart2) == 48)

    val input = readInput("Day03")
    part1(input).println()
    part2(input).println()
}

Python

After a bunch of fiddling yesterday and today I finally managed to arrive at a regex-only solution for part 2. That re.DOTALL is crucial here.

import re
from pathlib import Path


def parse_input_one(input: str) -> list[tuple[int]]:
    p = re.compile(r"mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)")
    return [(int(m[0]), int(m[1])) for m in p.findall(input)]


def parse_input_two(input: str) -> list[tuple[int]]:
    p = re.compile(r"don't\(\).*?do\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)", re.DOTALL)
    return [(int(m[0]), int(m[1])) for m in p.findall(input) if m[0] and m[1]]


def part_one(input: str) -> int:
    pairs = parse_input_one(input)
    return sum(map(lambda v: v[0] * v[1], pairs))


def part_two(input: str) -> int:
    pairs = parse_input_two(input)
    return sum(map(lambda v: v[0] * v[1], pairs))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    input = Path("input").read_text("utf-8")
    print(part_one(input))
    print(part_two(input))

                // part 1 sum

                // part 2 sum
                if(isEnabled)
                    part_2 += comp;

                break;
            }
        }

        // shorten the start of the string
        input_copy = input_copy.slice(pointer);
    }

    return {
        part_1,
        part_2,
    };
}

This one was harder but still. I feel like I can improve it for sure :)

Smalltalk

I wrote matchesActual cause all of smalltalk'sstupid matchesDo: or whatever don't give you the actual match with captures, only substrings (that wasted a good 40 minutes).

Also smalltalk really needs an index operator

day3p1: input
  | reg sum |
    reg := 'mul\((\d\d?\d?),(\d\d?\d?)\)' asRegex.
    sum := 0.
    
    reg matchesActual: input do: [ :m | " + sum at end cause operator precedence"
        sum := (m subexpression: 2) asInteger * (m subexpression: 3) asInteger + sum 
    ].
    
    ^ sum.

day3p2: input
  | reg sum do val |

    reg := 'do(\:?n''t)?\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)' asRegex.
    sum := 0.
    do := true.
    reg matchesActual: input do: [ :m |
        val := m subexpression: 1.
        (val at: 1) = $d ifTrue: [ do := (val size < 5) ]
        ifFalse: [ 
            do ifTrue: [ 
                sum := (m subexpression: 2) asInteger * (m subexpression: 3) asInteger + sum.
        ].  ].
    ].
    
    ^ sum.

Julia

I did not try to make my solution concise and kept separate code for part 1 and part 2 with test cases for both to check if I broke anything. But after struggling with Day 2 I am quite pleased to have solved Day 3 with only a little bugfixing.

Just did some basic regex stuff.

Rust feat. pest

No Zalgo here! I wasted a huge amount of time by not noticing that the second part's example input was different - my code worked fine but my test failed 🤦‍♂️

pest.rs is lovely, although part two made my PEG a bit ugly.

part1    =  { SOI ~ (mul_expr | junk)+ ~ EOI }
part2    =  { (enabled | disabled)+ ~ EOI }
mul_expr =  { "mul(" ~ number ~ "," ~ number ~ ")" }
number   =  { ASCII_DIGIT{1,3} }
junk     = _{ ASCII }
on       = _{ "do()" }
off      = _{ "don't()" }
enabled  = _{ (SOI | on) ~ (!(off) ~ (mul_expr | junk))+ }
disabled = _{ off ~ (!(on) ~ junk)+ }
