(Part 1) omg I can't believe this actually worked first try!

with open('input') as data:
    parts = data.read().rstrip().split("\n\n")
    ordering_rules = parts[0].split("\n")
    updates = parts[1].split("\n")

correct_updates = []
middle_updates = []

def find_relevant_rules(pg_num: str, rules: list[str]) -> list[str] | None:
    for rule in rules:
        return list(filter(lambda x: x.split("|")[0] == pg_num, rules))

def interpret_rule(rule: str) -> list[str]:
    return rule.split("|")

def interpret_update(update: str) -> list[str]:
    return update.split(",")

def find_middle_update_index(update: list[str]) -> int:
    num_of_elements = len(update)
    return num_of_elements // 2

for update in updates:
    is_correct = True
    for i, page in enumerate(interpret_update(update)):
       rules_to_check = find_relevant_rules(page, ordering_rules) 
       for rule in rules_to_check:
           if rule.split("|")[1] in interpret_update(update)[:i]:
               is_correct = False
    if is_correct:
        correct_updates.append(update)

for update in correct_updates:
    split_update = update.split(",")
    middle_updates.append(int(split_update[find_middle_update_index(split_update)]))
print(sum(middle_updates))

parsing logic is duplicated between the two, and I probably could use part2's logic for part 1, but yeah

part 1

day5p1: in
	| rules pages i j input |

	input := in lines.
	i := input indexOf: ''.
	rules := ((input copyFrom: 1 to: i-1) collect: [:l | (l splitOn: '|') collect: #asInteger]).
	pages := (input copyFrom: i+1 to: input size) collect: [:l | (l splitOn: ',') collect: #asInteger].
	
	^ pages sum: [ :p |
		(rules allSatisfy: [ :rule |
			i := p indexOf: (rule at: 1).
			j := p indexOf: (rule at: 2).
			(i ~= 0 & (j ~= 0)) ifTrue: [ i < j ] ifFalse: [ true ]
		])
			ifTrue: [p at: ((p size / 2) round: 0) ]
			ifFalse: [0].
	]

part 2

day5p2: in
	| rules pages i pnew input |

	input := in lines.
	i := input indexOf: ''.
	rules := ((input copyFrom: 1 to: i-1) collect: [:l | (l splitOn: '|') collect: #asInteger]).
	pages := (input copyFrom: i+1 to: input size) collect: [:l | (l splitOn: ',') collect: #asInteger].
	
	^ pages sum: [ :p |
		pnew := p sorted: [ :x :y | 
			rules anySatisfy: [ :r | (r at: 1) = x and: [ (r at: 2) = y]]
		].
		pnew ~= p
			ifTrue: [ pnew at: ((pnew size / 2) round: 0) ]
			ifFalse: [0].
	]

Nim

Solution: sort numbers using custom rules and compare if sorted == original. Part 2 is trivial.
Runtime for both parts: 1.05 ms

proc parseRules(input: string): Table[int, seq[int]] =
  for line in input.splitLines():
    let pair = line.split('|')
    let (a, b) = (pair[0].parseInt, pair[1].parseInt)
    discard result.hasKeyOrPut(a, newSeq[int]())
    result[a].add b

proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
  let chunks = input.split("\n\n")
  let later = parseRules(chunks[0])
  for line in chunks[1].splitLines():
    let numbers = line.split(',').map(parseInt)
    let sorted = numbers.sorted(cmp =
      proc(a,b: int): int =
        if a in later and b in later[a]: -1
        elif b in later and a in later[b]: 1
        else: 0
    )
    if numbers == sorted:
      result.part1 += numbers[numbers.len div 2]
    else:
      result.part2 += sorted[sorted.len div 2]

Took me a while to figure out how to sort according to the rules. 🤯

fun part1(input: String): Int {
    val (rules, listOfNumbers) = parse(input)
    return listOfNumbers
        .filter { numbers -> numbers == sort(numbers, rules) }
        .sumOf { numbers -> numbers[numbers.size / 2] }
}

fun part2(input: String): Int {
    val (rules, listOfNumbers) = parse(input)
    return listOfNumbers
        .filterNot { numbers -> numbers == sort(numbers, rules) }
        .map { numbers -> sort(numbers, rules) }
        .sumOf { numbers -> numbers[numbers.size / 2] }
}

private fun sort(numbers: List<Int>, rules: List<Pair<Int, Int>>): List<Int> {
    return numbers.sortedWith { a, b -> if (rules.contains(a to b)) -1 else 1 }
}

private fun parse(input: String): Pair<List<Pair<Int, Int>>, List<List<Int>>> {
    val (rulesSection, numbersSection) = input.split("\n\n")
    val rules = rulesSection.lines()
        .mapNotNull { line -> """(\d{2})\|(\d{2})""".toRegex().matchEntire(line) }
        .map { match -> match.groups[1]?.value?.toInt()!! to match.groups[2]?.value?.toInt()!! }
    val numbers = numbersSection.lines().map { line -> line.split(',').map { it.toInt() } }
    return rules to numbers
}

A bit easier than I first thought it was going to be.

I had a look at the Uiua discussion, and this one looks to be beyond my pay grade, so this will be it for today.

  var parts = lines.splitAfter((e) => e == '');
  var pred = SetMultimap.fromEntries(parts.first.skipLast(1).map((e) {
    var ps = e.split('|').map(int.parse);
    return MapEntry(ps.last, ps.first);
  }));
  ordering(a, b) => pred[a].contains(b) ? 1 : 0;

  var pageSets = parts.last.map((e) => e.split(',').map(int.parse).toList());
  var partn = pageSets.partition((ps) => ps.isSorted(ordering));
  return (
    partn.truthy.map((e) => e[e.length ~/ 2]).sum,
    partn.falsey.map((e) => (e..sort(ordering))[e.length ~/ 2]).sum
  );
}

part2(List<String> lines) => solve(lines).$2;

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.

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;

        }
        if valid {
            sum += l[l.len() / 2];
        }
    }
    println!("{sum}");
}

Rust

Real thinker. Messed around with a couple solutions before this one. The gist is to take all the pairwise comparisons given and record them for easy access in a ranking matrix.

For the sample input, this grid would look like this (I left out all the non-present integers, but it would be a 98 x 98 grid where all the empty spaces are filled with Ordering::Equal):

   13 29 47 53 61 75 97
13  =  >  >  >  >  >  >
29  <  =  >  >  >  >  >
47  <  <  =  <  <  >  >
53  <  <  >  =  >  >  >
61  <  <  >  <  =  >  >
75  <  <  <  <  <  =  >
97  <  <  <  <  <  <  =

I discovered this can't be used for a total order on the actual puzzle input because there were cycles in the pairs given (see how rust changed sort implementations as of 1.81). I used usize for convenience (I did it with u8 for all the pair values originally, but kept having to cast over and over as usize). Didn't notice a performance difference, but I'm sure uses a bit more memory.

Also I Liked the simple_grid crate a little better than the grid one. Will have to refactor that out at some point.

*Edit: I did try switching to just using std::collections::HashMap, but it was 0.1 ms slower on average than using the simple_grid::Grid... Vec[idx] access is faster maybe?

J

This is a problem where J's biases lead one to a very different solution from most of the others. The natural representation of a directed graph in J is an adjacency matrix, and sorting is specified in terms of a permutation to apply rather than in terms of a comparator: x /: y (respectively x \: y) determines the permutation that would put y in ascending (descending) order, then applies that permutation to x.

data_file_name =: '5.data'
lines =: cutopen fread data_file_name
NB. manuals start with the first line where the index of a comma is < 5

edges =: ". (' ' & (2}))"1 > start_of_manuals {. lines
NB. don't unbox and parse yet because they aren't all the same length

Well, this one ended up with a surprisingly easy part 2 with how I wrote it.
Not the most computationally optimal code, but since they're still cheap enough to run in milliseconds I'm not overly bothered.

class OrderComparer : IComparer<int>
{
  Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering;
  public OrderComparer(Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering) {
    this.ordering = ordering;
  }

  public int Compare(int x, int y)
  {
    if (ordering.ContainsKey(x) && ordering[x].Contains(y))
      return -1;
    return 1;
  }
}

Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering = new Dictionary<int, List<int>>();
int[][] updates = new int[0][];

public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
{
  foreach (var pair in lines.TakeWhile(l => l.Contains('|')).Select(l => l.Split('|').Select(w => int.Parse(w))))
  {
    if (!ordering.ContainsKey(pair.First()))
      ordering[pair.First()] = new List<int>();
    ordering[pair.First()].Add(pair.Last());
  }
  updates = lines.SkipWhile(s => s.Contains('|') || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).Select(l => l.Split(',').Select(w => int.Parse(w)).ToArray()).ToArray();
}

public void Part1()
{
  int correct = 0;
  var comparer = new OrderComparer(ordering);
  foreach (var update in updates)
  {
    var ordered = update.Order(comparer);
    if (update.SequenceEqual(ordered))
      correct += ordered.Skip(ordered.Count() / 2).First();
  }

  Console.WriteLine($"Sum: {correct}");
}
public void Part2()
{
  int incorrect = 0;
  var comparer = new OrderComparer(ordering);
  foreach (var update in updates)
  {
    var ordered = update.Order(comparer);

C

I got the question so wrong - I thought a|b and b|c would imply a|c so I went and used dynamic programming to propagate indirect relations through a table.

It worked beautifully but not for the input, which doesn't describe an absolute global ordering at all. It may well give a|c and b|c AND c|a. Nothing can be deduced then, and nothing needs to, because all required relations are directly specified.

The table works great though, the sort comparator is a simple 2D array index, so O(1).

#include "common.h"

#define TSZ 100
#define ASZ 32

/* tab[a][b] is -1 if a<b and 1 if a>b */
static int8_t tab[TSZ][TSZ];

static int
cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
	return tab[*(const int *)a][*(const int *)b];
}

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	char buf[128], *rest, *tok;
	int p1=0,p2=0, arr[ASZ],srt[ASZ], n,i, a,b;

	if (argc > 1)
		DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));
	
	while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)) {
		if (sscanf(buf, "%d|%d", &a, &b) != 2)
			break;
		assert(a>=0); assert(a<TSZ);
		assert(b>=0); assert(b<TSZ);
		tab[a][b] = -(tab[b][a] = 1);
	}

	while ((rest = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin))) {
		for (n=0; (tok = strsep(&rest, ",")); n++) {
			assert(n < (int)LEN(arr));
			sscanf(tok, "%d", &arr[n]);
		}

		memcpy(srt, arr, n*sizeof(*srt));
		qsort(srt, n, sizeof(*srt), cmp);
		*(memcmp(srt, arr, n*sizeof(*srt)) ? &p1 : &p2) += srt[n/2];
	}

	printf("05: %d %d\n", p1, p2);
	return 0;
}

Also took advantage of cmp_to_key.

    rules, updates = tuple(input.strip().split("\n\n")[:2])

        values = entry.split("|")
        order.setdefault(int(values[0]), []).append(int(values[1]))
    updates = [[int(v) for v in u.split(",")] for u in updates.splitlines()]
    return (order, updates)


def is_ordered(update: list[int], order: dict[int, list[int]]) -> bool:
    return update == sorted(
        update, key=cmp_to_key(lambda a, b: 1 if a in order.setdefault(b, []) else -1)
    )


def part_one(input: str) -> int:
    order, updates = parse_input(input)
    return sum([u[len(u) // 2] for u in (u for u in updates if is_ordered(u, order))])


def part_two(input: str) -> int:
    order, updates = parse_input(input)
    return sum(
        [
            sorted(u, key=cmp_to_key(lambda a, b: 1 if a in order[b] else -1))[
                len(u) // 2
            ]
            for u in (u for u in updates if not is_ordered(u, order))
        ]
    )


if __name__ == "__main__":
    input = Path("input").read_text("utf-8")
    print(part_one(input))
    print(part_two(input))

I was very much unhappy because my previous implementation took 1 second to execute and trashed through 2GB RAM in the process of doing so, I sat down again with some inspiration about the sorting approach.
I am very much happy now, the profiler tells me that most of time is spend in the parsing functions now.

I am also grateful for everyone else doing haskell, this way I learned about Arrays, Bifunctors and Arrows which (I think) improved my code a lot.

I thought of doing a sort at first, but dismissed it for some reason, so I came up with this slow and bulky recursive backtracking thing which traverses the rules as a graph until it reaches a depth equal to the given sequence. Not my finest work, but it does solve the puzzle :)

This is the first one that caused me some headache because I didn't read the instructions carefully enough.
I kept trying to create a sorted list for when all available pages were used, which got me stuck in an endless loop.

Another fun part was figuring out to use memberof (∈) instead of find (⌕) in the last line of FindNext. So much time spent on debugging other areas of the code

Kotlin

That was an easy one, once you define a comparator function. (At least when you have a sorting function in your standard-library.) The biggest part was the parsing. lol

import kotlin.text.Regex

fun main() {

No really proud of todays solution. Probably because I started too late today.

I used a dictionary with the numbers that should be in front of any given number. Then I checked if they appear after that number. Part1 check. For part 2 I just hoped for the best that ordering it would work by switching each two problematic entries and it worked.

I've got a "smart" solution and a really dumb one. I'll start with the smart one (incomplete but you can infer). I did four different ways to try to get it faster, less memory, etc.

// this is from a nuget package. My Mathy roommate told me this was a topological sort.
// It's also my preferred, since it'd perform better on larger data sets.
return lines
    .AsParallel()
    .Where(line => !IsInOrder(GetSoonestOccurrences(line), aggregateRules))
    .Sum(line => line.StableOrderTopologicallyBy(
            getDependencies: page =>
                aggregateRules.TryGetValue(page, out var mustPreceed) ? mustPreceed.Intersect(line) : Enumerable.Empty<Page>())
        .Middle()
    );

The dumb solution. These comparisons aren't fully transitive. I can't believe it works.

public static SortedSet<Page> Sort3(Page[] line,
    Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> rules)
{
    // how the hell is this working?
    var sorted = new SortedSet<Page>(new Sort3Comparer(rules));
    foreach (var page in line)
        sorted.Add(page);
    return sorted;
}

public static Page[] OrderBy(Page[] line, Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> rules)
{
    return line.OrderBy(identity, new Sort3Comparer(rules)).ToArray();
}

sealed class Sort3Comparer : IComparer<Page>
{
    private readonly Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> _rules;

    public Sort3Comparer(Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> rules) => _rules = rules;

    public int Compare(Page x, Page y)
    {
        if (_rules.TryGetValue(x, out var xrules))
        {
            if (xrules.Contains(y))
                return -1;
        }

        if (_rules.TryGetValue(y, out var yrules))
        {
            if (yrules.Contains(x))
                return 1;
        }

        return 0;
    }
}

Using a map to store u|v relations. Part 2 sorting with a custom compare function worked very nicely

func main() {
	file, _ := os.Open("input.txt")
	defer file.Close()
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)

	mapPages := make(map[string][]string)
	rulesSection := true
	middleSumOk := 0
	middleSumNotOk := 0

	for scanner.Scan() {
		line := scanner.Text()
		if line == "" {
			rulesSection = false
			continue
		}

		if rulesSection {
			parts := strings.Split(line, "|")
			u, v := parts[0], parts[1]
			mapPages[u] = append(mapPages[u], v)
		} else {
			update := strings.Split(line, ",")
			isOk := true

			for i := 1; i < len(update); i++ {
				u, v := update[i-1], update[i]
				if !slices.Contains(mapPages[u], v) {
					isOk = false
					break
				}
			}

			middlePos := len(update) / 2
			if isOk {
				middlePage, _ := strconv.Atoi(update[middlePos])
				middleSumOk += middlePage
			} else {
				slices.SortFunc(update, func(u, v string) int {
					if slices.Contains(mapPages[u], v) {
						return -1
					} else if slices.Contains(mapPages[v], u) {
						return 1
					}
					return 0
				})
				middlePage, _ := strconv.Atoi(update[middlePos])
				middleSumNotOk += middlePage
			}
		}
	}

	fmt.Println("Part 1:", middleSumOk)
	fmt.Println("Part 2:", middleSumNotOk)
