Advent of Code

Welcome to my Advent of Code repository! This is where I document my journey through the Advent of Code challenges, year by year. Each directory corresponds to a specific year, containing the solutions to each day's puzzles.

How to Build and Run

To compile and run the solutions, follow these steps:

1. First, build the build.cpp file located in the root directory:

   $ g++ -std=c++11 -o build build.cpp

2. After building, you can run the specific solution using the following command to build and run the specified challenge:

   $ ./build <year> <day> <part> [<input|test>] [<run>]

• <year>: A 4-digit number specifying the year (e.g., 2023).
• <day>: A 2-digit number specifying the day (e.g., 24).
• <part>: The part number, either 1 or 2.
• <input|test>: Optional file type, "input" or "test". Defaults to "input".
• <run>: Optional flag to run the compiled executable. If provided, the executable will be executed with the specified input or test file.

Benchmarking Tool

To benchmark solutions and analyze performance:

1. Build the benchmark.cpp file:

   $ g++ -std=c++11 -o benchmark benchmark.cpp

2. Run the benchmarking tool:

   $ ./benchmark <year> <day> <part> [<input|test>] [<runs>]

• <year>: A 4-digit number specifying the year (e.g., 2023).
• <day>: A 2-digit number specifying the day (e.g., 24).
• <part>: The part number, either 1 or 2.
• <input|test>: Optional file type, "input" or "test". Defaults to "input".
• <runs>: Optional number of runs. Defaults to 1000.

2015

This directory contains my solutions for the 2015 Advent of Code. It includes input files, C++ code for both parts of each day's puzzle, and the original prompts.

2023

This directory contains my solutions for the 2023 Advent of Code. Each day's directory has the input files, C++ code for both parts of the puzzles, and the prompts.
