Day 3: Mull It Over

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

    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))

      Really cool trick. I did a bunch of regex matching that I’m sure I won’t remember how it works few weeks from now, this is so much readable

      My first insinct was similar, add line breaks to the do and dont modifiers. But I got toa caught up thinking id have to keep track of the added characters, I wound up just abusing split()-

    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.

    C#
    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.

    Code
    #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;
    }
    
    static int
    parse_int(const char **stringp, int *outp)
    {
    	char *end;
    	int val;
    
    	val = (int)strtol(*stringp, &end, 10);
    	if (end == *stringp)
    		return 0;
    
    	*stringp = end;
    	if (outp) *outp = val;
    	return 1;
    }
    
    static int
    parse_mul(const char **stringp, int *ap, int *bp)
    {
    	const char *cur = *stringp;
    	int a,b;
    
    	if (!parse_exact(&cur, "mul(") ||
    	    !parse_int(&cur, &a) ||
    	    !parse_exact(&cur, ",") ||
    	    !parse_int(&cur, &b) ||
    	    !parse_exact(&cur, ")"))
    		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; )
    		if (parse_exact(&cur, "do()"))
    			dont = 0;
    		else if (parse_exact(&cur, "don't()"))
    			dont = 1;
    		else if (parse_mul(&cur, &a, &b)) {
    			p1 += a * b;
    			if (!dont) p2 += a * b;
    		} else
    			cur++;
    
    	printf("03: %d %d\n", p1, p2);
    }

      	if (end == cur)  { return 0; } cur = end;
      	if (*cur != ',') { return 0; } cur += 1;
      	*bp = (int)strtol(cur, (char **)&end, 10);
      	if (end == cur)  { return 0; } cur = end;
      	if (*cur != ')') { return 0; } cur += 1;
      
      	*stringp = cur;
      	return 1;
      }

    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

      I shy away from regexes for these parsing problems because part 2 likes to mess those up but here it worked beautifully. Nice and compact solution!

    Oof, a parsing problem :/ This is some nasty-ass code. step is almost the State monad written out explicitly.

      Love to see you chewing through this parsing problem in Haskell, I didn’t dare use Parsec because I wasn’t confident enough.
      Why did you decide to have a strict definition of Mul !Int !Int?

        My guess is because a linter and/or HLS was suggesting it. I know HLS used to suggest making your fields strict in almost all cases. In this case I have a hunch that it slightly cuts down on memory usage because we use almost all Muls either way. So it does not need to keep the string it is parsed from in memory as part of the thunk.

        But it probably makes a small/negligible difference here.

          Yep, HLS suggested it, and I figured since I’m definitely going to be using all of the values (in part one, at least), why not?

          Normally I ignore that kind of nitpicky suggestion though.

    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,

        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,

      You can avoid having to escape the backslashes in regexps by using multiline strings:

      val pattern = """mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)""".toRegex()

    Rust

    Didn’t do anything crazy here – ended up using regex like a bunch of other folks.

    solution
    use regex::Regex;
    
    use crate::shared::util::read_lines;
    
    fn parse_mul(input: &[String]) -> (u32, u32) {
        // Lazy, but rejoin after having removed `\n`ewlines.
        let joined = input.concat();
        let re = Regex::new(r"mul\((\d+,\d+)\)|(do\(\))|(don't\(\))").expect("invalid regex");
    
        // part1
        let mut total1 = 0u32;
        // part2 -- adds `do()`s and `don't()`s
        let mut total2 = 0u32;
        let mut enabled = 1u32;
    
        re.captures_iter(&joined).for_each(|c| {
            let (_, [m]) = c.extract();
            match m {
                "do()" => enabled = 1,
                "don't()" => enabled = 0,
                _ => {
                    let product: u32 = m.split(",").map(|s| s.parse::<u32>().unwrap()).product();
                    total1 += product;
                    total2 += product * enabled;
                }
            }
        });
        (total1, total2)
    }
    
    pub fn solve() {
        let input = read_lines("inputs/day03.txt");
        let (part1_res, part2_res) = parse_mul(&input);
        println!("Part 1: {}", part1_res);
        println!("Part 2: {}", part2_res);
    }
    
    #[cfg(test)]
    mod test {
        use super::*;
    
        #[test]
        fn test_solution() {
            let test_input = vec![
                "xmul(2,4)&mul[3,7]!^don't()_mul(5,5)+mul(32,64](mul(11,8)undo()?mul(8,5))".to_string(),
            ];
            let (p1, p2) = parse_mul(&test_input);
            eprintln!("P1: {p1}, P2: {p2}");
            assert_eq!(161, p1);
            assert_eq!(48, p2);
        }
    }
