🎄 Day 02
In Rust
Going right to Rust for day 2, since its one of the languages im the most interested in. Part 1 was quite easy to do in Rust, but i fought the compiler more than a few times in part 2. I eventually settled on a dumber solution because i could not figure it out in Rust. It is what it is. It will definitely take a while to get used to Rust and the compiler screaming at you all the time, but it is definitely interesting and i want to learn more. Other than fighting the compiler, part 2 also confused me because the example passed but my input did not. I eventually found out there were 2 cases where backtracking was necessary, and i had to rewrite my solution.
To run part 1 or part 2, do:
$ make part1
$ make part2
