Note I don't need the routes, just the counts.
And can cache (word, count). Made fft -> dac quick. But too many routes from svr to out without reaching fft.
So needed a "reach out directly" cache.
Then needed to disable that cache when I w…
Part 1 was a really easy (and natural in F#) recursion creating a sequence of paths from you to out.
Part 2 totally blew up in time... after looking for some inspiration it is finally solved.
Can get count of routes svr -> fft, then for ff…
Multiple errors rushing things with part 1. Took more care with part 2 and worked first time.
Made a mountain out of part 1, but ended up with part 2 being a simple adaption of the code.
Now back to the last two days skipped as I was away....
#adventOfCode #fsharp
Ended up being really quite quick, 34ms in a debug build without any optimisation attempts (there is still too much array <-> list going on so room for improvement).
#AdventOfCode #fsharp
Too much RL today 😞
In part 1 thankfully looked at the "real" input, and realised building a set from the ranges was not going to work.
Then in part 2 spent too much time working with `range seq` before using `range list`. A little tail r…
An easier day, except string array is not mutable, so a quick change to char[,] (only three expressions needed changing) to allow update in place.
(Could create a new string array with exceptions, but that is going to be 1. more code, and …
Part 1 was nice and easy, but started expanding (recursively) into part 2 but that wasn't going to complete any time soon (maybe not this decade) as I realised it was O(n^12) 😞 .
A little thinking, and back to O(n^2), and no significant o…
Used regex with back reference for part 1. And on second go remembered to match the whole string.
Part 2 thus became almost trivial addition for two or more repetitions...
#adventOfCode #fsharp
A second time around after a few hours gap (RL) in Go and a better approach to part 2.
Overall my Go is pretty messy, but that's learning for you...
#adventOfCode #GoLang
Advent of code 2025 day 1 done...
Part 1 done with modulo w/out problem (once adjusted for .NET doing modulo of negative is negative).
Part 2 had too many edge cases so one step at a time solve it. More than quick enough (44ms) without any…
