None really, but you might want to create a folder for it, and try downloading an input file from last year.

Where can I find that input file?
you'll have an input file for each puzzle when they're released

Where can I find that input file?
You can take a look at last year's day 1 for an example.

how'd you parse all the information so quickly? do you have macros or something to auto submit/fetch inputs?
flat sequoia
i don't have macros
earnest forge
Most (fast) people use something like aoc_helper or aoc_lube or aocd which will fetch/submit from Python
(if you're writing such a library, you have to be careful to not over-request the API)
flat sequoia
i just have a simple run script that imports my code and automatically opens the right input file
so i just have to write def p1(f): for my sol
but that's it
i don't really think auto fetching inputs / submitting helps

I mean it lets you take a stab at part 1 before it even exists

hhmm whats that package
That's advent-of-code-data, which provides fetch and submit. I used it for a while before I found salt's package aoc_helper
I maintain the old version of that package on PyPI (aoc_helper) and salt wrote a new version (I think he's done that most years lol) which is aoc_lube on PyPI
naive stone
anything notable that salt's package does differently?
proper gyro
so sorry if this is in the wrong spot but how do I use the input? is it a file, if so where is it?
proper gyro
ohh yep
very new to programing lol kinda fogot that you can just get it from the url
cunning scarab
Most casual players just copy paste it in a txt
proper gyro
thats a good idea!
earnest forge
anything notable that salt's package does differently?
So the version I maintain contains a bunch of utils, as well as a CLI (with templating options)
Not sure about salt's new one
I know it has some networkx stuff
But it also doesn't seem to have the fluent list/iter classes

how do you submit aoc? Do you have to put in code and run test case or what

Find the box on the puzzle page and enter your answer

Nope
As long as you get the right answer
People have solved puzzles by hand, with excel sheets, you name it
That's the primary reason why you can't submit code; aoc is extremely free-form

reading from stdin is fine
though you might want to sys.stdin.read() in this case
and then work with that
earnest forge
reading from stdin is fine
Reading from stdin is totally possible but if you have to ask 'how do I find the end of input' it's probably easier to just read a file
modern terrace
it's the challenge of the year again
cyan sleet
I guess to be fair, reading from file and reading from stdin is basically the same
input() is the culprit here

how do u download the file?
Yeah, just download it as something like input.txt
Then you can load it into your program in the usual way: ```py
with open('input.txt') as file:
text = file.read()
input.txt has to be in the folder that you run your code from (the current working directory) for this to work.
stable shale
Is there a way to download the data file from the url with requests or something...
There's a couple libraries for it already, the one I use is advent-of-code-data (supports input retrieval and submission). Alternatively you can do it manually by getting your session token from the webpage and use requests. Just note that the dev requested you put your contact info on the User-Agent header
open ice
I have to admit, I spend way too much time just trying to pre-process the data in a single list comprehension
but also I forgot to use file.read(), which is much simpler, I was using file.readlines() which already splits the lines up
fluid zealot
I can't get over the fact that the list comprehension using built-in functions is way faster despite having a bigger complexity than the hand written forloop approach.
I feel like I'm discovering python all over again

so I know I think how to resolve the math problem, but I'm having trouble finding out how to grab the input given in to my code. I've put it in to a .txt file, but I'm unfamiliar on how to grab it from there. Is that an appropriate question for here, or should I go to #1035199133436354600 , or should I avoid asking here altogether lol
I know also about workinmg with files but again, the way it's formatted, etc. Anyone have some resources or something?
minor cave
so I know I think how to resolve the math problem, but I'm having trouble findin...
most of us save it into a .txt file and then do some form of:
with open("input.txt") as file:
data = f.readlines() # This part changes depending on how you want to parse the input
For instance, last year this is generally what I did:
with open(r"day6/input.txt", "r") as f:
data = f.read().splitlines()
and I may add additional parsing after to get into the format I want. Like:
data = [int(x) for x in data[0].split(",")]
I think splitlines is exactly what I was wondering about. That separates them if there are line breaks?

@low condor lets move here, don't want to end up cluttering the solutions channel
wouldn't different problems have different algorithms though?
and even if they were reverse engineered, wouldn't it be just for that one particular problem and one particular year?
low condor
I agree, but aren't those arguments in favour of just collecting all the input.txt files if you could?
no reverse engineering or anything. Just grab the files and grab the problems
gleaming cedar
i'm not sure i'm following, its a bit late here <_<
low condor
I think we might be thinking of different things in the term "reverse engineering"
I was thinking you were referring to trying to generate a valid input for a particular day
gleaming cedar
yes, what i got from the reddit thread was somehow you could grab a bunch of inputs along with the problem and obtain the algorithm that was used to generate the input, which.. doesn't really make any sense
low condor
Right. So I guess even if you have the inputs, you still need to know what the algorithm was for a particular day to be able to copy that puzzle
But, just having the input is advantageous over not having it
if you don't have the input, you still need to figure out the algo, but on top you now need to work out the inputs that are valid for it

I have already ditched my self-imposed challenge to do the whole month in Groovy, time to switch to either Fortran 77 or Deno
hidden musk
also, "omg, I just want a useable linked list"
what's wrong with the built in?
cyan sleet
what's wrong with the built in?
it doesn't support things like insert/delete at a position in O(1)
hidden musk
huh, that's pretty bad
cyan sleet
I think there is development going into that, but I can't remember what the state of it is
basically, that kind of thing doesn't play well with rust at all
I guess it's in nightly now https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/linked_list/struct.Cursor.html
I geuss https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/linked_list/struct.CursorMut.html is the more relevant one
maybe I should go back to last year to optimize one of my solutions with it
I ended up doing O(n) operations on a Vec instead

Finger trees would work for rust, but I doubt anyone made those
Maybe in im, who knows, really

it doesn't support things like insert/delete at a position in O(1)
yeah because it was never supposed to exist
gankra, the person who trimmed down std::collections before 1.0, tried
but people for some reason wanted a linked list
your best bet might just be copying an implementation from too many linked lists. some of them should be pretty good.
hidden musk
is that the person that wrote learning rust with linked lists
sharp panther
yes
sharp panther
your best bet might just be copying an implementation from too many linked lists...
oh right
the last one has cursor for that
maybe it was reimplemented from the book to the stdlib
or something like that

hollow wharf
oh sorry
cyan sleet
having something like a cursor interface is basically the one reason I would reach out to a linked list specifically
basically all else can be abstracted away from my behind a deque interface
so a linked list without it is kinda...useless
thankfully maybe rust will get one someday
hidden musk
yes

is there different leaderboards (not that i think i would have a chance)
but i assume by the time its made for americans?

When you complete each task, the line gets coloured and a picture is slowly revealed. In first year, 2015, the shape was clear even without the colours - https://adventofcode.com/2015
It seems that this year, the line changes the characters as well as being coloured.
The shape is usually connected to the story about collecting stars that year. Last year it was a submarine looking for Elves' lost keys. The shape is also clear. https://adventofcode.com/2021

is there a reason simple sort is returning none
mossy basin
is there a reason simple sort is returning none
an in-place sort won't return anything, but maybe you should discuss in #1047673173447020564
cyan sleet
now, you could also solve this without sorting in O(n) time
even if the number was not 3

||np.partition go brrrrrrrrrrr||

partition is an awfully general term for that operation
C++ uses partition for "partition by this predicate" which feels more sensible

how do i sum all list at once and make python
sum, sorted
narrow cloak
`sum`, `sorted`
can i do [].sum

`sum`, `sorted`
sorted()?

@torn thorn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.
001 | 10
002 | [1, 2, 3, 4]
i have to manualy do sum(lits)?
torn thorn
well that's how you get the sum of the list all at once
narrow cloak
well that's how you get the sum of the list all at once
something = sum([3386,4242,3179,7596,1099,1223,6241,1020,4869,4247,4906])
torn thorn
sure
uhh
yeah that probs works
!e
print(sum([3386,4242,3179,7596,1099,1223,6241,1020,4869,4247,4906]))```@torn thorn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

yes
nums = [[127, 29812, 2893], [21783, 2189, 478, 578], [378, 23874]...]
but then you can have to acces it with a second index
like nums[0][:] = [127, 29812, 2893]
and nums[0][0] = 127
hidden musk
nums[0][:] is just nums[0]
narrow cloak
i cant just do [list1 , list2]?
lime elk
i cant just do [list1 , list2]?
you can
you can jut assign the lists to another list or append them to it
lime elk
um, then list2 isnt a list
narrow cloak
sooo sum is not a list?
mystic sky
15 minutes left
woot woot
lime elk
no sum(list) gives the sum of the elements of the list
narrow cloak
can i still do list1.sorted
lime elk
yeah you can
narrow cloak
so list inside a list then i do sorted solution done
lime elk
I've been waiting all night for this ;-;
lime elk
so list inside a list then i do sorted solution done
um, list inside a list, then you need to find the sums of the internal lists, save that into another list and then you can sort that list
not sure if sorting the first list will give you the correct sorted list
I'll try it, sec
narrow cloak
um, list inside a list, then you need to find the sums of the internal lists, sa...
just put sum(1,1,1,1) when defining?
