Day 9: Mirage Maintenance

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)

    Nim

    Part 1:
    The extrapolated value to the right is just the sum of all last values in the diff pyramid. 45 + 15 + 6 + 2 + 0 = 68
    Part 2:
    The extrapolated value to the left is just a right-folded difference (right-associated subtraction) between all first values in the pyramid. e.g. 10 - (3 - (0 - (2 - 0))) = 5

    So, extending the pyramid is totally unneccessary.

    Pretty easy one today. Made a Pyramid type to hold the values and their layers of diffs, and an extend function to predict the next value. For part 2 I just had to make an extendLeft version of it that inserts and subtracts instead of appending and adding.

    (Cursed) Python

    I solved the actual thing recursively in Rust, but I decided that wasn’t cursed enough, so I present: Polynomial fitting!

    import numpy.polynomial.polynomial as pol
    
    with open("input.txt") as f:
      lines = list(map(lambda l: list(map(int, l.split(" "))), f.read().split("\n")))
    
    lo, hi = 0, 0
    
    for line in lines:
      for i in range(len(line)):
        poly, (r, *_) = pol.Polynomial.fit(range(len(line)), line, full=True, deg=i)
        if r < 0.0000000001:
          break
    
      lo += int(round(poly(-1)))
      hi += int(round(poly(len(line))))
    
    print(f"Part 1: {hi}")
    print(f"Part 2: {lo}")

    recursion is awesome! (sometimes)

    input = File.read("input.txt")
    
    seqs = input.lines.map &.split.map &.to_i
    
    sums = seqs.reduce({0, 0}) do |prev, sequence|
    	di = diff(sequence)
    	{prev[0] + sequence[0] - di[0], prev[1] + di[1] + sequence[-1]}
    end
    puts sums
    
    
    def diff(sequence)
    	new = Array.new(sequence.size-1) {|i| sequence[i+1] - sequence[i]}
    
    	return {0, 0} unless new.any?(&.!= 0)
    
    	di = diff(new)
    	{new[0] - di[0], di[1] + new[-1]}
    end

        1. Setting up boilerplate beforehand, I only need to fill in the functions (and the return types)
        2. Really good parsing library (aoc_parse). Today my entire parsing code was parser!(lines(repeat_sep(i64, " ")))
        3. Iterators! Actually really ideal for AoC, where pipelines of data are really common. Today both the main part (sum of lines) and inner part (getting a vec of differences) can be done pretty easily through iterators

        Today was pretty ideal for my setup. In general I think Rust is really good for later days, because the safety and explicitness make small mistakes rarer (like if you get an element from a HashMap that doesn’t exist, you don’t get a None later down the road (unless you want it, in which case it’s explicit), you get an exception where it happened.

        I just really like Rust :3

    Dart

    I was getting a bad feeling when it explained in such detail how to solve part 1 that part 2 was going to be some sort of nightmare of traversing all those generated numbers in some complex fashion, but this has got to be one of the shortest solutions I’ve ever written for an AoC challenge.

    int nextTerm(Iterable ns) {
      var diffs = ns.window(2).map((e) => e.last - e.first);
      return ns.last +
          ((diffs.toSet().length == 1) ? diffs.first : nextTerm(diffs.toList()));
    }
    
    List> parse(List lines) => [
          for (var l in lines) [for (var n in l.split(' ')) int.parse(n)]
        ];
    
    part1(List lines) => parse(lines).map(nextTerm).sum;
    part2(List lines) => parse(lines).map((e) => nextTerm(e.reversed)).sum;

    I even have time to knock out a quick Uiua solution before going out today, using experimental recursion support. Bleeding edge code:

    # Experimental!
    {"0 3 6 9 12 15"
     "1 3 6 10 15 21"
     "10 13 16 21 30 45"}
    StoInt ← /(+×10)▽×⊃(≥0)(≤9).-@0
    NextTerm ← ↬(
      ↘1-↻¯1..      # rot by one and take diffs
      (|1 ↫|⊢)=1⧻⊝. # if they're all equal grab else recurse
      +⊙(⊢↙¯1)      # add to last value of input

    Language: Python

    Part 1

    Pretty straightforward. Took advantage of itertools.pairwise.

    def predict(history: list[int]) -> int:
        sequences = [history]
        while len(set(sequences[-1])) > 1:
            sequences.append([b - a for a, b in itertools.pairwise(sequences[-1])])
        return sum(sequence[-1] for sequence in sequences)
    
    def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
        histories   = [list(map(int, line.split())) for line in stream]
        predictions = [predict(history) for history in histories]
        print(sum(predictions))
    
    Part 2

    Only thing that changed from the first part was that I used functools.reduce to take the differences of the first elements of the generated sequences (rather than the sum of the last elements for Part 1).

    def predict(history: list[int]) -> int:
        sequences = [history]
        while len(set(sequences[-1])) > 1:
            sequences.append([b - a for a, b in itertools.pairwise(sequences[-1])])
        return functools.reduce(
            lambda a, b: b - a, [sequence[0] for sequence in reversed(sequences)]
        )
    
    def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
        histories   = [list(map(int, line.split())) for line in stream]
        predictions = [predict(history) for history in histories]
        print(sum(predictions))

    Raku

    First time using Grammar Actions Object to make parsing a little cleaner. I thought about not keeping track of the left and right values (and I originally didn’t for part 1), but I think keeping track allows for an easier to understand solution.

    View code on github

    edit: although I don’t know why @values.all != 0 evaluates to true why any value is not zero. I thought that @values.any != 0 would do that, but it seems that their behavior is flipped from my expectations.

    edit2: Oh, I think I understand now. != is a shortcut for !==, and !== is actually the equality operator that is then negated. You can negate most relational operators in Raku by prefixing them with !. So the junction is actually binding to the == equality operator and not the !== inequality operator. Therefore @values.all != 0 becomes !(@values.all == 0). I’m not sure why they would choose this order of operations, though.

    edit3: Ah, it’s in the documentation, so it’s not even an oversight. https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/3748

    Code (probably still doesn't render correctly)
    use v6;
    
    sub MAIN($input) {
        my $file = open $input;
    
        grammar Oasis {

            token val { '-'? \d+ }

        class OasisActions {
            method TOP ($/) { make $».made }
            method history ($/) { make $».made }
            method val ($/) { make $/.Int }
        }
    
        my $oasis = Oasis.parse($file.slurp, actions => OasisActions.new);
        my @histories = $oasis.made;
        my $part-one-solution;
        my $part-two-solution;
        sub revdiff { $^b - $^a }
        for @histories -> @history {
            my @values = @history;
            my @rightmosts = [@values.tail];
            my @leftmosts = [@values.head];

            $part-one-solution += [+] @rightmosts;
            $part-two-solution += [[&revdiff]] @leftmosts.reverse;
        }
        say "part 1: $part-one-solution";
        say "part 2: $part-two-solution";
    }
