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

Implementing flood fill or something like that would have been smart, so I didn't do that. Instead I used a sparse-but-still-way-too-big-and-slow block matrix representation, which takes several minutes to compute the region partitions for the real problem. The rest is essentially simple, although counting edges has some picky details. The result is a lot of code though -- way more than has been typical up to now.

data_file_name =: '12.data'
grid =: ,. > cutopen fread data_file_name
data =: , grid
'rsize csize' =: $ grid
size =: # data
inbounds =: monad : '(*/ y >: 0 0) * (*/ y < rsize, csize)'
coords =: ($ grid) & #:
uncoords =: ($ grid) & #.
neighbors =: monad : 'uncoords (#~ inbounds"1) (coords y) +"1 (4 2 $ 1 0 0 1 _1 0 0 _1)'
components =: 1 ((i.size) ,. i.size)} 1 $. (size, size); (0 1); 0
NB. fuse (m, n) fuses together the components of linear indices m and n onto the
NB. lesser of the two
fuse =: monad define
   fused_row =. >./ y { components
   NB. 4 $. is a version of 1 I. that works on sparse arrays: it gives us the index array,
   NB. but it's rows of index vectors so we have to transpose to get just the column indices
   fused_indices =. {. |: 4 $. fused_row
   components =: 1 (, fused_indices (< @: ,"0/) fused_indices)} components
)
NB. fuse_all fuses all adjacent pairs of cells according to the grid contents; this makes
NB. a "block diagonal" matrix of 1's where the block index groups are components
fuse_cols =: monad define
   for_r. i. rsize do.
      for_c. i. <: csize do.
         n =. uncoords (r, c)
         pair =. n, n + 1
         if. =/ (pair { data) do. fuse pair end.
      end.
   end.
   components
)
NB. To speed this up we only execute fusion once on each pair of adjacent contiguous groups,
NB. since each row has already had its columns fused.
fuse_rows =: monad define
   for_r. i. <: rsize do.
      cur_cell =. a:
      in_group =. 0
      for_c. i. csize do.

         if. cur_cell ~: n { data do.
            cur_cell =. n { data
            in_group =. 0
         end.
         pair =. n, n + csize
         if. =/ (pair { data) do.
            if. in_group = 1 do. continue.
            else.
               fuse pair
               in_group =. 1
            end.
         else. in_group =. 0 end.
      end.
   end.

fuse_all =: fuse_rows @: fuse_cols
NB. count_edges n counts the number of fenced edges, which is 4 minus the number of neighbor
NB. cells in the same component
component_neighbors =: monad : '(#~ ((= & (y { data)) @: ({ & data))) neighbors y'
count_edges =: monad : '4 - # component_neighbors y'
NB. components component_index n gives the least cell index in n's component
component_index =: dyad : '<./ {. |: 4 $. y { x'
NB. distinct components gives the list of component indices
distinct_components =: monad : '~. 0 $. y component_index"_ 0 i.size'
NB. components component_cells m gives the cell list of component m
component_cells =: dyad : 'I. 0 $. y { x'"_ 0
NB. components area m gives the area of component m
area =: (# @: component_cells)"_ 0
NB. components perimeter m gives the perimeter of component m

NB. cell edges are given coordinates as follows: horizontal edges are numbered according to the
NB. cell they are above, so [0..rsize] x [0..csize), and vertical edges are numbered according to
NB. the cell they are left of, so [0..rsize) x [0..csize]. Two adjacent (connected) cell edges
NB. belong to the same component edge if they have a component cell on the same side.
NB. cell_edges m gives the edge coordinates in the schema above of the cell with linear index m,
NB. as a boxed list horizontal_edges;vertical_edges.
