Rust
The function is_sorted_by on Iterators turned out helpful for compactly finding if a report is safe. In part 2 I simply tried the same with each element removed, since all reports are very short.
is_sorted_by
is new to me, could be very useful.The
is_sorted_by
is a really nice approach. I originally tried using that function thinking that|a, b| a > b
or|a, b| a < b
would cut it but it didn't end up working. I never thought to handle the check for the step being between 1 and 3 in the callback closure for that though.
