Advent of Code
https://adventofcode.com/2021
What is Advent of Code?

Advent of Code (AoC) is a series of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill levels, run every year during the month of December.

They are self-contained and are just as appropriate for an expert who wants to stay sharp as they are for a beginner who is just learning to code. Each puzzle calls upon different skills and has two parts that build on a theme.

How does scoring work?

For the global leaderboard, the first person to get a star first gets 100 points, the second person gets 99 points, and so on down to 1 point at 100th place.

For private leaderboards, the first person to get a star gets N points, where N is the number of people on the leaderboard. The second person to get the star gets N-1 points and so on and so forth.

Join our private leaderboard!

Come join the Python Discord private leaderboard and compete against other people in the community! Get the join code using .aoc join and visit the private leaderboard page to join our leaderboard.

Hi :D

minor cave
junior hinge
hollow oyster
#

oh my... I give up instantly

minor cave
#

I highly recommend giving it a shot and taking your time with it

#

you learn a lot

hollow wharf
#

Can this be done in O(n)?

minor cave
#

Advent of Code is also fun because it's doesn't need to be done well it just needs to be done

hollow oyster
#

I have only been doing API stuff and discord bots and I have almost completely forgotten basic python, soo most likely I will not be able to do anything

hollow wharf
#

The one i had in mind is o(nxn)

hollow oyster
# 
def multiply(a, b):
  a * b

multiply(1, 20) # line made by me
``` (from code wars) for example what would even be wrong here?
warm berry

||return||

hollow oyster
#

;-;

stiff kraken
#

So close yet so far for me for AOC

rapid wolf
#

@hollow wharfyes, using a set

stiff kraken
#

Or just do anything with the result of a*b

hollow oyster
#

makes sense

hollow wharf
rapid wolf
#

a set can be constructed in O(n) and has O(1) membership checks

#

so you can just iterate twice

stiff kraken
#

Normally in any language with a compiler that optimizes, it probably would optimize all of that code away

#

Python doesn’t optimize and just runs it

rapid wolf
#

(or even in one iteration if you are clever about it)

#

well, you can't optimise it in python

hollow oyster
#

looking at the code war stuff, it seems a lot of basic python but nothing that I can actually do

rapid wolf
#

since * could have a side effect

hollow wharf
stiff kraken
#

Is a set in python the same as a set in maths? As in a set of unique numbers in order?

rapid wolf
#

that's not what a set is in math generally

rapid wolf
#

a set is an unordered collection of items in both python and math

#

in python they also need to be hashable

hidden musk
stiff kraken
#

Wait unordered?

rapid wolf
#

yeah, sets don't have an order

tepid cairn
stiff kraken
#

I’ve been told they are ordered

placid lake
#

woo, i love those cursed solutions

rapid wolf
#

you have been misled, a general set cannot even be ordered

stiff kraken
#

And that 2 different orders are the same as they will be changed to ordered anyways

rapid wolf
#

since not every set has a sensible ordering on it

tepid cairn
#

Cursed solutions best solutions

minor cave
#

like, is my code horribly inefficient? yes. Is it quick to code and fast enough to run? yes

warm berry
#

Solution = best solution

rapid wolf
#

consider the set of all functions that produce 1 for some result

#

how would you order those?

How do the two stars work?

placid lake

each day has two parts

each part is one star

except for day 25

mhm, there are two stars for each day, so two parts

hidden musk

the 50th star is always a gimme

Are both parts released at the same time?

hidden musk
#

yeah, but you can only do the second part after the first

placid lake

yep, but you have to complete the first part to get access to the second

I JUST POSTED THE BOT COMMANDS CHANNEL ABOVE YOU

minor cave
bleak sable
#

but it's annoying when there's a dedicated channel and as I said, I literally linked it just above them. T.T

signal grotto
#

That command doesn't fill much space, it's not a huge deal for that one.

bleak sable
#

it was less annoying when the channel was less active, but now, with the first puzzle 5.5h away, I click on the channel thinking some discussion is happening...

bleak sable
#

so I was afraid that since second person followed the first (just after my channel link), then it would result in more commands again

I assume we'll get some better discussion once the event starts too

how?

it has "TUI" type stuff

I... wanna do that now but I want to commit to Nim

I wonder if I can just use some interfacing o_o

ill use rust

I want to participate in advent of code. But I have exams and so I might not be able to code on a few days. So can I code inconsistently for like day 1 project on one day then like 2nd one on the 3rd day or something like that? Or do I have to be consistent?

Once the puzzle unlocks you can complete it any time at all

placid lake

you could finish them in the next century if you'd like!

Yes! You can do the challenges whenever you want, even after it has ended.

but your leaderboard score is based on how quickly you solve it after it's unlocked.

Because I think for that to work you need to somehow login or supply your session cookie

I have that

@sinful pawn How come? Aren't you really good at py

sinful pawn

Oh yeah right

also I'm not really good but I'd like to think I'm somewhat competent

if you're not good then i suck at python lol

minor cave
sinful pawn
#

I am... so confused

hollow wharf
#

why did they change the server pfp bruh

earnest forge
#

It's the AoC-themed one

hollow wharf
#

the old ones was better

minor cave
#

It's December, time for Advent of Code profile picture and banner~

#

I really like the animation for this server pfp

sinful pawn
#

could the problem be that I'm using Nim ;-;

candid berry
#

not unless you're misusing the HTTP API

sinful pawn
#

I don't think so

candid berry
#

once the request is on the wire, the server can't have any way of knowing what language it was created in.

sinful pawn
#

I mean input works fine, so I know that at least the cookie is working

# 
proc submit*(year: Natural, day: Natural, level: Natural, answer: string): string =
    let multipart_data = new_multipart_data({"level": $level, "answer": answer})
    let response = client.post(&"https://adventofcode.com/{year}/day/{day}/answer", multipart = multipart_data)
    debug_echo response.headers
    debug_echo response.status
    return response.body

I'd think that means the error is somewhere here... but I don't think I can tell what it might be

#

perhaps multipart_data, since frankly I don't understand if that's how it's meant to work
