Solutions for the 2023 Advent of Code

How to Run:

• First, make sure rust and cargo are installed:
  • Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch01-01-installation.html
  • After installation, make sure Cargo is installed by running cargo --version

To run a particular day and part file, simply type

cargo run -- --day <Day_Number> --part <Part_Number>

For example, to run Day 2's second part:

cargo run -- --day 2 --part 2

Setting up a new day:

To make it easy to set up a new day's template, run the bash script: make_day.sh

This will set up the necessary files for a specified day with a given input. For example:

./make_day.sh 5

Will create a directory src/day_05/ which will include rust files for each part of each day

This will not update src/main.rs to include the crate::day_0X::*; lines or update as a valid input in the run_day_part function.

NOTE: This currently does not check if there is already existing files. This will be implemented in the future, for now please be careful using this script.

Future Improvements:

• Check for if files exist in the bash script
• Find a way to automatically update src/main.rs to include:
  • crate::day_0X::*; at the beginning of the file
  • run_day_part function to include additional cases as valid day/part pairs
