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

Elixir

First time writing Elixir. It's probably janky af.

I've had some help from AI to get some pointers along the way. I'm not competing in any way, just trying to learn and have fun.

~~Part 2 is currently not working, and I can't figure out why. I'm trying to just remove everything from "don't()" to "do()" and just pass the rest through the working solution for part 1. Should work, right?

Any pointers?~~

edit; working solution:

defmodule Three do
  def get_input do
    File.read!("./input.txt")
  end

  def extract_operations(input) do
    Regex.scan(~r/mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)/, input)
    |> Enum.map(fn [_op, num1, num2] ->
      num1 = String.to_integer(num1)
      num2 = String.to_integer(num2)
      [num1 * num2]
    end)
  end

  def sum_products(ops) do
    List.flatten(ops)
    |> Enum.filter(fn x -> is_integer(x) end)
    |> Enum.sum()
  end

  def part1 do
    extract_operations(get_input())
    |> sum_products()
  end

  def part2 do
    String.split(get_input(), ~r/don\'t\(\)[\s\S]*?do\(\)/)
    |> Enum.map(&extract_operations/1)
    |> sum_products()
  end
end

IO.puts("part 1: #{Three.part1()}")
IO.puts("part 2: #{Three.part2()}")

Part 2 is currently not working, and I can’t figure out why. I’m trying to just remove everything from β€œdon’t()” to β€œdo()” and just pass the rest through the working solution for part 1. Should work, right?

I think I had the same issue. Consider what happens if there isn't a do() after a don't().

Ah, yes, that's it. The lazy solution would be to add a "do()" to the end of the input, right? Haha

It was actually a line break that broke the regex. Changing from a "." to "[\s\S]" fixed it.
