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

    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()
    }
