Haskell

This was quite fun! I got a bit distracted trying to rewrite safe in point-free style, but I think this version is the most readable. There's probably a more monadic way of writing lessOne as well, but I can't immediately see it.

safe xs = any gradual [diffs, negate <$> diffs]
  where
    diffs = zipWith (-) (drop 1 xs) xs
    gradual = all (`elem` [1 .. 3])

lessOne [] = []
lessOne (x : xs) = xs : map (x :) (lessOne xs)

main = do
  input :: [[Int]] <- map (map read . words) . lines <$> readFile "input02"
  print . length $ filter safe input
  print . length $ filter (any safe . lessOne) input

Love to see your haskell solutions!

I am so far very amazed with the compactness of your solutions, your lessOne is very much mind-Bending. I have never used or seen <$> before, is it a monadic $?

Also I can't seem to find your logic for this safety condition: The levels are either all increasing or all decreasing, did you figure that it wasn't necessary?

<$> is just fmap as an infix operator.

>>> fmap (+1) [1,2,3]
[2,3,4]
>>> (+1) <\$> [1,2,3]
[2,3,4]
