Advent of Code 2023 Solutions in Rust

This repository contains my personal solutions for the Advent of Code 2023 challenges, written in Rust. Advent of Code is an annual set of Christmas-themed programming puzzles that cover a variety of skill sets and challenge types.

Structure of the Repository

Each day's challenge is stored in a separate directory named day_xx where xx is the day number. Inside each directory, you will find:

• Input data automatically fetched using a bash script.
• My solution code in Rust.

Setup Script

I use a custom bash script to set up each day's challenge environment. This script:

• Creates a new Rust project for the challenge.
• Fetches the challenge input to input.txt from the Advent of Code website.

Note: To use this script, a sessionCookie file containing your Advent of Code session cookie must be present in the root directory.

Running the Code

To run a solution:

1. Ensure you have Rust installed.
2. Navigate to the challenge directory, e.g., cd day_01.
3. Run the solution using cargo run.

To set up a new day's challenge:

1. Run the setup script with the day number and part, e.g., ./setup.sh 1.
2. Ensure you have the sessionCookie file in the root directory with your AoC session cookie.
