Day 5: If You Give a Seed a Fertilizer
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Well, I can’t say much about this one. The code is ugly, horribly inefficient, and part two takes a solid half hour to run. It got the right answer though, so that’s something I suppose. I think something like
nom
to parse the input would be much cleaner, and there’s got to be a better way of going about part two than just brute forcing through every possible seed, but hey, it works so that’s good enough for now.https://github.com/capitalpb/advent_of_code_2023/blob/main/src/solvers/day05.rs
