Advent of Code Solutions - In Go/JavaScript

Advent of Code

Go the the relevant year and look at the README.md file for that year for details of that year's solutions.

I started with 2023, and am now working my way from 2015. Keep an eye on the list below for progress.

• 2015
  • Go
• 2016
  • Go (WIP)
• 2017
• 2018
• 2019
• 2020
• 2021
• 2022
• 2023
  • JavaScript

Go

I'm using Go now for these challenges, starting for 2015 and working upwards.

For Go solutions, these can be ran from the homepage as follows:

go run ./2015/go/day01

to run with example input, or

go run ./2015/go/day01 ./input

to run with the input at the path given.

Templates

JavaScript

You can run

bash createJsDay.sh <day> <path>

to create the template for a new day in JavaScript. To do this, ensure that there is a dayx template folder in the destination. Tip: Add '0' to the start of the day number if it is less than 10, e.g. 01 instead of 1, for better ordering!

Go

Run

bash createGoDay.sh <day> <path>

to create the template for a new day in Go. To do this, ensure that there is a dayx template folder in the destination. Tip: Add '0' to the start of the day number if it is less than 10, e.g. 01 instead of 1, for better ordering!

Setup for a new year

Go

1. Create the year folder, eg. mkdir -p 2017/go
2. In the folder, run go mod init aoc-2017, then cd back to the root of this repo
3. Add this to the go.work file in the root
4. Add the dayx folder to enable the template to work
5. Run bash createGoDay.sh 01 ./2017/go
