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

    While part 1 was pretty quick, part 2 took me a while to figure something out. I figured that the relation would probably be a total ordering, and obtained the actual order using topological sorting. But it turns out the relation has cycles, so the topological sort must be limited to the elements that actually occur in the lists.

    Solution
    use std::collections::{HashSet, HashMap, VecDeque};
    
    fn parse_lists(input: &str) -> Vec<Vec<u32>> {
        input.lines()
            .map(|l| l.split(',').map(|e| e.parse().unwrap()).collect())
            .collect()
    }
    
    fn parse_relation(input: String) -> (HashSet<(u32, u32)>, Vec<Vec<u32>>) {
        let (ordering, lists) = input.split_once("\n\n").unwrap();
        let relation = ordering.lines()
            .map(|l| {
                let (a, b) = l.split_once('|').unwrap();
                (a.parse().unwrap(), b.parse().unwrap())
            })
            .collect();
        (relation, parse_lists(lists))
    }
    
    fn parse_graph(input: String) -> (Vec<Vec<u32>>, Vec<Vec<u32>>) {
        let (ordering, lists) = input.split_once("\n\n").unwrap();
        let mut graph = Vec::new();
        for l in ordering.lines() {
            let (a, b) = l.split_once('|').unwrap();
            let v: u32 = a.parse().unwrap();
            let w: u32 = b.parse().unwrap();
            let new_len = v.max(w) as usize + 1;
            if new_len > graph.len() {
                graph.resize(new_len, Vec::new())
            }
            graph[v as usize].push(w);
        }
        (graph, parse_lists(lists))
    }
    
    
    fn part1(input: String) {
        let (relation, lists) = parse_relation(input); 
        let mut sum = 0;
        for l in lists {
            let mut valid = true;
            for i in 0..l.len() {
                for j in 0..i {
                    if relation.contains(&(l[i], l[j])) {
                        valid = false;
                        break
                    }
                }
                if !valid { break }
            }
            if valid {
                sum += l[l.len() / 2];
            }
