#

Is the goal of the Day 5 aoc is to make the crates say CMZ?

#

Like all 3 sections

#

Should it say CMZ at the bottom?

#

with the 3 crates

#

im just trying to clarify and see if I'm reading it correctly

green coral Dec 5, 2022, 3:32 PM

#

you need to return the top crate of each pile in order after the crane operations

lusty rover Dec 5, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

Terrible?

hollow wharf Dec 5, 2022, 3:51 PM

minor ivy Should it say CMZ at the bottom?

At the top of each pile of crates, it should form CMZ

#

if i where to only learn one module for AoC what should i learn

#

itertools? or maybe re?

#

(ive seen those two used a lot)

#

collections seems to also be a common one

placid lake Dec 5, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

regex is super useful for input parsing for a lot of days

#

itertools and more_itertools are also great

#

there's honestly a lot of packages you could use for AoC

#

the ones i use a lot are re, itertools, collections, more_itertools, numpy, networkx, scipy, sympy

#

from most to least approximately

unique osprey Dec 5, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

limber aurora if i where to only learn one module for AoC what should i learn

numpy

mossy basin Dec 5, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

numpy solutions are my favorite

unique osprey Dec 5, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

yeah

#

Saved me a lot of time last year for sure

placid lake Dec 5, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

numpy is very fun

limber aurora Dec 5, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

any specfic things i need to learn

#

or should i just google "numpy full guide" or something on youtube and try using the stuff

unique osprey Dec 5, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

Yeah you mostly need to be familiar with the concept of working with the data as a group per axis or whole matrix or whatever

#

Basically doing operations on everything at once rather than looping over something

unique osprey Dec 5, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

limber aurora or should i just google "numpy full guide" or something on youtube and try using...

So say you have an array like this

array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
       [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19],
       [20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29],
       [30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39],
       [40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49]])

And you want to sum each horizonal row. What you would do is apply the np.sum() function on axis 1

print(a.sum(axis=1))
[ 45 145 245 345 445]

placid lake Dec 5, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

also is it just me or is this year much easier than last year so far

limber aurora Dec 5, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

do you not need to define an array as a numpy array to use numpy

unique osprey Dec 5, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

placid lake also is it just me or is this year much easier than last year so far

Yeah was just looking over days 1-4 last year

#

definitely easier this year

limber aurora Dec 5, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

placid lake also is it just me or is this year much easier than last year so far

this is my first aoc but i did do last years problems and i would say the first 5 days where more difficult last year (specifically day 4 last year i died on that one )

placid lake Dec 5, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

yeah i agree

unique osprey Dec 5, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

My day 4 last year heavily used numpy 😄

unique osprey So say you have an array like this ```py array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...

mossy basin that was like my longest solution --- i made a full-fledged node class

I did an oop solution as well

low condor Dec 5, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

How I solved it is that I ||flattened the structure||

mossy basin Dec 5, 2022, 5:04 PM

i just had a bunch of recursive methods, they were all pretty simple though

peak dock Dec 5, 2022, 5:05 PM

oh god yes

low condor Dec 5, 2022, 5:05 PM

Turned it into || a flat list of two-item elements, one element for the value, one for its "level" in the hierarchy||

#

Made explosions way easier

mossy basin Dec 5, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

i did use eval for the parse:
||SNAIL_NUMS = [nodify(*literal_eval(line)) for line in aoc_helper.day(18).splitlines()]||

low condor Dec 5, 2022, 5:07 PM

This is so odd, when I run this snippet py for _ in range(move): crates[from_].pop() within my instructions loop it replaces every single item in the stack with a P?? I've never seen anything so whack, but when I comment these lines it doesnt do this. Does pop do something I don't know?

you intialized your lists with this probably: [[] * n]

normal umbra Dec 5, 2022, 6:23 PM

pop just removes the last element in the list

halcyon pulsar Dec 5, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

mossy basin you intialized your lists with this probably: `[[] * n]`

Yeah, I just hardcoded something similiar to that - why does this make a difference?

halcyon pulsar Dec 5, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

normal umbra pop just removes the last element in the list

I know

mossy basin Dec 5, 2022, 6:25 PM

#

because thats n references to the same list

#

you need [[] for _ in range(n)]

#

to make n separate lists

halcyon pulsar Dec 5, 2022, 6:25 PM

#

i did this ```py
crates = [[], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], ]

are these not seperate

mossy basin Dec 5, 2022, 6:25 PM

those are separate

#

tidal mist `zip(*n*[iter(stuff)])`

list(n * [ *iter(stuff)]) ?

tidal mist Dec 5, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

i think that's useful

#

n*[iter(stuff)] creates a list of n times the same iterator.

#

hm

#

no i got it wrong

#

now i fixed it.

hollow wharf Dec 5, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

list( n * [ * iter(stuff)]) it should be like this maybe

#

asteriks should be in list because iter only a object

tidal mist Dec 5, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

for example
list(zip(*3*[iter([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])]))
returns
[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]

hollow wharf Dec 5, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

tidal mist for example `list(zip(*3*[iter([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])]))` returns `[(1, 2, 3), (4, ...

this is true because zip returns object

#

but list(*stuff) is wrong

tidal mist Dec 5, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

yes, you're right. accidentally i wrote list when i meant zip

hollow wharf Dec 5, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

because list only takes 1 argument

hollow wharf Dec 5, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

your subroutine needs to identify the first position where the four most recently received characters were all different. Specifically, it needs to report the number of characters from the beginning of the buffer to the end of the first such four-character marker.

#

For example, suppose you receive the following datastream buffer:

mjqjpqmgbljsphdztnvjfqwrcgsmlb
After the first three characters (mjq) have been received, there haven't been enough characters received yet to find the marker. The first time a marker could occur is after the fourth character is received, making the most recent four characters mjqj. Because j is repeated, this isn't a marker.

hollow wharf Dec 6, 2022, 3:39 PM

#

very_sadge

alpine pike Dec 6, 2022, 3:40 PM

#

The first time a marker appears is after the seventh character arrives. Once it does, the last four characters received are jpqm, which are all different. In this case, your subroutine should report the value 7, because the first start-of-packet marker is complete after 7 characters have been processed.

For n people in the leaderboard, the score goes: first person to solve task gets n points, second gets n-1... And so on, for all tasks.

does this thing backtracks weirdly?

like this cd / switches the current directory to the outermost directory, /. is only for / right?

The description they said works just like real cd, I don't understand your question. Both real cd and the one in the problem, cd / will jump you to the root directory for the system.

Jumping around can be a little odd at times because some problems build on problems from earlier in the month, though maybe some of them you'd pick up on that from the problem description.

Then your token might be expired; try re-fetching your token out of your cookies

#

halcyon pulsar Dec 7, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

Opened a new tab and the token was the same

#

Very odd

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

Have a go using aoc_helper and see if it still doesn't work

#

What version of aoc_lube are you using btw?

halcyon pulsar Dec 7, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

0.2.5

#

i'll try aoc helper

just updated to 0.2.6 and same problem

Huh, worked the token worked with aoc_helper in cli

I figured out his problem

Its returning 404 because its trying to make a request to https://adventofcode.com/22/day/7/input

when its 2022 not 22

Not sure why it works on linux

I assume other people aren't having problems somehow

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

I think you're just supposed to pass the full year

#

Don't remember if there's a check for that in aoc_helper or not

halcyon pulsar Dec 7, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

earnest forge I think you're just supposed to pass the full year

Huh, makes sense - The template auto generates it without passing the full year however

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

halcyon pulsar Huh, makes sense - The template auto generates it without passing the full year ...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

halcyon pulsar Dec 7, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

RAW = aoc_lube.fetch(year=22, day=7) this is what is generated from the template

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

~~ok no aoc_helper does not contain a check for year < 2000~~

halcyon pulsar Dec 7, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

Just added this file.write_text(template.format(year=f"20{year}", day=day))

#

There we go

#

Works now

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 5:03 PM

It's a very deliberate thing AoC does. I'd be amazed if there is a single person who has done more than a few AoC puzzles that hasn't had the same thing happen 😄

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 5:57 PM

It's a compiled language that has speed comparable to C and ergonomics comparable to Python (after you get your head round the borrow checker)

Borrow checker?

polar sand Dec 7, 2022, 6:02 PM

This is my first time doing aoc seriously. How many days can I expect the difficulty to be at this level before there's another jump?

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

This year already has a much different difficulty curve than the other years

timber glacier Dec 7, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

Its mostly been parsing this year

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

It's usually a fairly reasonable curve up to the 24th (then day 25 is easy because yk it's christmas, gotta be nice and fast)

#

It's also usually easier on weekends

polar sand Dec 7, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

Easier on weekends is a nice touch. Sounds like my goal of reaching at least day 18 is probably feasible then since it ends on a Sunday, so I'll hopefully get a few easier puzzles

timber glacier Dec 7, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

I think I'll do rust this year and elixir next year

earnest forge Dec 7, 2022, 6:07 PM

#

polar sand Easier on weekends is a nice touch. Sounds like my goal of reaching at least day...

Go for all 25, it'll be worth it :)

polar sand Dec 7, 2022, 6:09 PM

#

I plan on going for all 25, but I do want to reach at least 18, after that if puzzles take me too long I'll do them over multiple days just to try and complete it
