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)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

def compute(a: List[String], growth: Long): Long =
    val gaps = Seq(a.map(_.toList), a.transpose).map(_.zipWithIndex.filter((d, i) => d.forall(_ == '.')).map(_._2).toSet)
    val stars = for y <- a.indices; x <- a(y).indices if a(y)(x) == '#' yield List(x, y)

    def dist(gaps: Set[Int], a: Int, b: Int): Long = 
        val i = math.min(a, b) until math.max(a, b)
        i.size.toLong + (growth - 1)*i.toSet.intersect(gaps).size.toLong

    (for Seq(p, q) <- stars.combinations(2); m <- gaps.lazyZip(p).lazyZip(q).map(dist) yield m).sum

def task1(a: List[String]): Long = compute(a, 2)
def task2(a: List[String]): Long = compute(a, 1_000_000)
