Day 14: Parabolic Reflector Dish

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)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Haskell

A little slow (1.106s on my machine), but list operations made this really easy to write. I expect somebody more familiar with Haskell than me will be able to come up with a more elegant solution.

Nevertheless, 59th on the global leaderboard today! Woo!

Solution

import Data.List
import qualified Data.Map.Strict as Map
import Data.Semigroup

rotateL, rotateR, tiltW :: Endo [[Char]]
rotateL = Endo $ reverse . transpose
rotateR = Endo $ map reverse . transpose
tiltW = Endo $ map tiltRow
  where
    tiltRow xs =
      let (a, b) = break (== '#') xs
          (os, ds) = partition (== 'O') a
          rest = case b of
            ('#' : b') -> '#' : tiltRow b'
            [] -> []
       in os ++ ds ++ rest

load rows = sum $ map rowLoad rows
  where
    rowLoad = sum . map (length rows -) . elemIndices 'O'

lookupCycle xs i =
  let (o, p) = findCycle 0 Map.empty xs
   in xs !! if i < o then i else (i - o) `rem` p + o
  where
    findCycle i seen (x : xs) =
      case seen Map.!? x of
        Just j -> (j, i - j)
        Nothing -> findCycle (i + 1) (Map.insert x i seen) xs

main = do
  input <- lines <$> readFile "input14"
  print . load . appEndo (tiltW <> rotateL) $ input
  print $
    load $
      lookupCycle
        (iterate (appEndo $ stimes 4 (rotateR <> tiltW)) $ appEndo rotateL input)
        1000000000

What's a line-second? Never heard/seen this term before.

There was a post about it a few days ago: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/9116867
