Advent of Code

This project has been around for a couple of years, but this time I’m taking part in the Advent of Code for the first time. Every day there is a small programming puzzle (with two parts). I found today’s task pretty easy to implement, let’s see how it will be the next days.

My programming language of choice for this event: Go, because it’s my favorite programming language at the moment and even small scripts can be created quite easily and the standard library has many features by default.

Jan-Lukas Else Advent of Code 2020 in Go: Day 1 and 2 I decided to publish my Advent of Code solutions regularly (probably every other day) here on this blog. So there are a few more posts with code to read. After all, code is a big part of my life, so it should be more present here on the blog.The full (and possibly improved) code is available either on my Gitea instance or a GitHub mirror.Day 1Day 1 started with the task of correcting expense reports. The input is a list of numbers. In part 1 two numbers were searched for, which add up to 2020…

I’m not yet sure what language I want to solve these tasks in, though. I started with Go, then went to Python, and now I’m considering doing the rest either in Rust, Swift, or Elisp 🤪

Jan-Lukas Else Advent of Code ‘21 New year, new code advent calendar. This year I’m trying my hand at Advent of Code once again in Go. This time with a little help from the copilot. Let’s see if I make it to the end, or have to give up early again… Those who are interested in my solutions can view them freely. Have a nice Advent season! 🎄 https://adventofcode.com/2021
- Jan-Lukas Else 15.12.2021: Von Algorithmen und Klimawandel Da hat man gestern gerade log4j 2.15 eingebaut, da kommt schon die nächste Version um die Ecke, die dann gleich die nächste Sicherheitslücke behebt. Naja, wenn das dann jetzt hoffentlich erstmal eine Weile sicher ist… Momentan ist Dezember. Während ich zu Schulzeiten im Dezember meistens mit meinem Vater jeden Abend Aufgaben von Mathe im Advent gelöst habe, ist es jetzt Advent of Code. Letztes Jahr habe ich es bis Tag 14 geschafft, bevor mir das tägliche Lösen der manchmal doch recht komplizi…
