Day 5: Print Queue

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)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Rust

Kinda sorta got day 5 done on time.

use std::cmp::Ordering;

use crate::utils::{bytes_to_num, read_lines};

pub fn solution1() {
    let mut lines = read_input();
    let rules = parse_rules(&mut lines);

    let middle_rules_sum = lines
        .filter_map(|line| {
            let line_nums = rule_line_to_list(&line);
            line_nums
                .is_sorted_by(|&a, &b| is_sorted(&rules, (a, b)))
                .then_some(line_nums[line_nums.len() / 2])
        })
        .sum::<usize>();

    println!("Sum of in-order middle rules = {middle_rules_sum}");
}

pub fn solution2() {
    let mut lines = read_input();
    let rules = parse_rules(&mut lines);

    let middle_rules_sum = lines
        .filter_map(|line| {
            let mut line_nums = rule_line_to_list(&line);

            (!line_nums.is_sorted_by(|&a, &b| is_sorted(&rules, (a, b)))).then(|| {
                line_nums.sort_by(|&a, &b| {
                    is_sorted(&rules, (a, b))
                        .then_some(Ordering::Less)
                        .unwrap_or(Ordering::Greater)
                });

                line_nums[line_nums.len() / 2]
            })
        })
        .sum::<usize>();

    println!("Sum of middle rules = {middle_rules_sum}");
}

fn read_input() -> impl Iterator<Item = String> {
    read_lines("src/day5/input.txt")
}

fn parse_rules(lines: &mut impl Iterator<Item = String>) -> Vec<(usize, usize)> {
    lines
        .take_while(|line| !line.is_empty())
        .fold(Vec::new(), |mut rules, line| {
            let (a, b) = line.as_bytes().split_at(2);
            let a = bytes_to_num(a);
            let b = bytes_to_num(&b[1..]);

            rules.push((a, b));

            rules
        })
}

fn rule_line_to_list(line: &str) -> Vec<usize> {
    line.split(',')
        .map(|s| bytes_to_num(s.as_bytes()))
        .collect::<Vec<_>>()
}

fn is_sorted(rules: &[(usize, usize)], tuple: (usize, usize)) -> bool {
    rules.iter().any(|&r| r == tuple)
}

Reusing my bytes_to_num function from day 3 feels nice. Pretty fun challenge.
