Day 12: Garden Groups

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

    Rust

    Areas are found by flooding, in the meantime whenever the adjacent plot would be outside the region (or out of bounds) the edge (inside plot, outside plot) is saved in a perimeter list. Part 1 takes just the size of that list, in part 2 we remove fence parts and all entries directly next to it on both sides.
