Day 3: Mull It Over

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)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Smalltalk

I wrote matchesActual cause all of smalltalk'sstupid matchesDo: or whatever don't give you the actual match with captures, only substrings (that wasted a good 40 minutes).

Also smalltalk really needs an index operator

day3p1: input
  | reg sum |
    reg := 'mul\((\d\d?\d?),(\d\d?\d?)\)' asRegex.
    sum := 0.
    
    reg matchesActual: input do: [ :m | " + sum at end cause operator precedence"
        sum := (m subexpression: 2) asInteger * (m subexpression: 3) asInteger + sum 
    ].
    
    ^ sum.
day3p2: input
  | reg sum do val |

    reg := 'do(\:?n''t)?\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)' asRegex.
    sum := 0.
    do := true.
    reg matchesActual: input do: [ :m |
        val := m subexpression: 1.
        (val at: 1) = $d ifTrue: [ do := (val size < 5) ]
        ifFalse: [ 
            do ifTrue: [ 
                sum := (m subexpression: 2) asInteger * (m subexpression: 3) asInteger + sum.
        ].  ].
    ].
    
    ^ sum.
