Dev flow

1. edit file dayX/main.cpp
2. include solution.h and write a class inheriting aoc::solution
3. implement solution in run()
4. write tests to assert the desired behaviour in register_tests()
5. run tests by calling the binary with --test
6. run solution on input file by calling the binary with no arguments
7. run solution on data stored in a file by calling the binary with path/to/data argument

#include "solution.h"

class day1 : public aoc::solution {
public:

    void run(std::istream& in, std::ostream& out) override {
        // Read input data from "in" and write results to "out"
    }

    void register_tests() override {
        add_test({"test name 1", "given input", "expected output"});
        add_test({"test name 2", "given input", "expected output"});
        ...
    } 
}

int main() {
    day1 solution;
    return solution.execute(argc, argv);
}

Running day1 tests

./build
./run 1 --test

Running day1 on "input" file residing in the day1/ folder

./build
./run 1 

Running day1 on a particular input file

./build
./run 1 path/to/input/file
