We Made Up. (Coding in a Random Language Every Day - Day 4)

Ғылым және технология

Advent of Code 2023 is UPON US! What better way to spend the holiday season, learn to program, and test your skills against your friends. This year, I've decided to try something kind of insane. I'll be choosing a language off the wheel every day.... let's see what happens.

    Why not play a wonderful language known as INTERCAL (specifically the C-INTERCAL dialect)? You can learn to be more polite in your coding, the wonders of non-standard operators such as unary XOR and Mingle, and flow control via COME FROM.

    Haskell is not nearly as bad as you think. It took me just a week to learn the syntax properly. I did take me however, 1.5 years to become comfortable programming in this functional style. Haskell shares many features of Rust, particularly the enums and pattern matching which is a huge part of FP. I do find F# to be a much more practical and enjoyable language to code in though.

    for part 2 I just had an array of integers, and I just incremented the index of the cards by the value for the current card, and in the end just summed them up. (I made sure that each card started at 1 instead of 0 by incrementing the current card by one at the start of the loop). O(n) solution.

    I did this at first too and got part of the way through the video before I saw your comment and it inspired me to rethink the recursive nature of my "surprisingly" slow recursive solution (was surprised because it was a naive algorithm, but computers are fast and it's Rust). It went from ~10s to 0.8ms haha

    I can't wait for Haskell. The syntax really isn't that strange -- the weirdest part is the where and do. Once you learn haskell, it changes the way you think about code. Not just monads, but stuff like GADTs, DataKinds, and lenses.

    I used a stack & added copied cards to it, and evaluated every card. Stack was GROWING and slowing. So i then went in reverse & cached solutions, so each card would only be evaluated once. So for card 37, i would have cached how many cards 38 & 39 produced, but I wouldn't know 36 yet.

    My algo for this question just used a lookup table to count how many copies of each card I had, rather than running the code multiple times you can just multiply how many subsequent copies of other cards you make. I also had an amazing off by one error that would cause my answer to balloon over the u128 max int limit for the full problem ;)

    My original solution used a stack, evaluating every copy & the stack just GREW and GREW. Then i changed & looped from last game toward first & cached the # of cards produced by any given card, so then each card only got evaluated once. Later, i made stack work by looping over the games in the reverse order. That way the stack size never grew by more than a few, so all that memory work didn't slow it to a halt.

  • @michaelhart8928
    @michaelhart89286 ай бұрын

    Interesting, I actually ended up doing the recursive solution which wasn't that bad either. You do that same iteration over the vector at first for the original cards, then the copies you just check three conditions: if we run out of cards return 0, if we don't have any matching numbers return 1 (we have to add the current card), else we iterate over the slice from the current index + 1 to the number of matching numbers and recurse. Definitely not the fastest solution, but it was pretty interesting.
