python

Solutions for AoC 2024

This year I wanted to learn rust. So, all except one task were solved in rust only. I took a semi-manual approach for day24 part2 which required to plot a graph using graphviz. The tooling for python seemed easier than the one for rust, so I decided to go for python to speed up the process.

Setup

Make sure you have uv installed.

Run an example

To run an example, you can simply run:

uv run aoc2024 <day> <task> -e <example_id>

For example, if you want to run the first example for day 13 task 2, you would enter

uv run aoc2024 13 2 -e 1

Run a solution

To run a solution, you can simply leave out the -e <example_id>:

uv run aoc2024 <day> <task>

For example, if you want to run the solution for day 16 task 1, you would enter

uv run aoc2024 16 1

Future directions

1. Adding unittests
2. Adding timing information
