Advent of Code 2021
This is just a repo to publish the code for the Advent of Code 2021 puzzles ! Developed with Squeak Smalltalk !
Code
I will fileout the whole category/project each and every day. I will use tags to identify up to which day the code represents.
Puzzles
Coding Style
I favor:
explicity over cryptic one-liners meaningful variable names code reuse simplicity over wtf-does-that-code-do
Sure, I could just open a workspace & code the whole thing like a script & find the solution in a few lines.
But then, like it ALWAYS happens every year, I would have to resuse code (i.e. scripts) that isn't reusable! Hence, I favor classes and good OO design over I-wanna-impress-people-with-my-fancy-scripts-in-a-workspace.
P.S. I sometimes go back to previous days to refine the code, add comments, add class descriptions. There's nothing like putting aside you code and come back to it a few days after and ask yourself "what is that supposed to do again?". Usually a sign you need comments or something isn't crystal clear!
