Google Hashcode Rust Template

Google Hashcode Rust Template

Basic Rust template for Google Hashcode challenges.

Quickstart

1. Clone this repository
2. Change crate author in Cargo.toml ;-)

Parsing

1. Add fields to InputData struct in data.rs
2. Implement parse_input in data.rs

fn parse_input(s: &str) -> anyhow::Result<InputData> {}

Tip: utils.rs contains a few helper functions for parsing lists of integers or list of strings.

fn number_list_line(s: &str) -> Res<&str, Vec<N>> {}
fn number_list_line_exact(s: &str, expected_size: usize) -> Res<&str, Vec<N>> {}
// same as number_list_line excepts it logs errors if any
fn number_list_line_verbose(s: &str) -> Res<&str, Vec<N>> {}
// same as number_list_line_exact excepts it logs errors if any
fn number_list_line_exact_verbose(s: &str, expected_size: usize) -> Res<&str, Vec<N>> {}

fn str_list_line(s: &str) -> Res<&str, Vec<&str>> {}
fn str_list_line_exact(s: &str, expected_size: usize) -> Res<&str, Vec<&str>> {}
// same as str_list_line excepts it logs errors if any
fn str_list_line_verbose(s: &str) -> Res<&str, Vec<&str>> {}
// same as str_list_line_exact excepts it logs errors if any
fn str_list_line_exact_verbose(s: &str, expected_size: usize) -> Res<&str, Vec<&str>> {}

see tests in utils.rs for usage.

Solving

1. Add fields to OutputData struct in data.rs.
2. Implement solve in data.rs.

fn solve(input: &InputData) -> anyhow::Result<(OutputData, Option<usize>)> {}

Dumping

1. Implement output_as_lines in data.rs.

fn output_as_lines(output: &OutputData) -> anyhow::Result<Vec<String>> {}

Run the solver

RUST_LOG=info cargo run --release -- res/input_0.txt res/input_1.txt

Generates ./output_0.out and ./output_1.out.

Enabling Logs

prefix command with RUST_LOG=<level> e.g.

RUST_LOG=info cargo run --release -- res/input_0.txt res/input_1.txt
