I'm again going to participate in the Advent of Code challenge; I'll try to stick with Rust this year too.
I'm a little more time-constrained, so I'll allow myself to switch to a different language for more complex problems.
I don't do this challenge for the leaderboard, so if I'm stuck on a problem, I'll look up tips to help me along the way since my main goal is learning.
🏆 Goal: get all stars before the end of the year! 🏆
I added a template for my solutions that is available in the template folder so that I can start to solve the problem faster!
The template contains 2 main files:
- src/main.rs - contains the code that will run and benchmark the solution
- src/solution.rs - contains the template for the functions and tests that will actually solve the challenge
I used the amazing cargo-generate, I created a cargo-generate config file at ~/.cargo/cargo-generate with
[favorites.aoc]
description = "Favorites for AOC 2022 template"
vcs = "None"
path = "../template"
So I can just run cargo generate aoc to interactively create the new crate for a solution each day.
cargo run -p day** - Runs a specific day
cargo run -p day** --release - Runs a specific day with compiler optimizations
cargo test -p day** - Tests a specific day
cargo test - Tests all
