AoC2023

Doing them in whatever language I feel like this year, rather than just C.

My goal with these is not to make the fastest or most elegant solutions. These are just what I used to solve each problem. Once I get the program to spit out the answer to both parts, I don't really go back and edit my code. I do give myself arbitrary goals that I stick to each year as a bit of a tradition I guess:

• Each solution should only read from stdin, no file IO
• Each day should be one program that prints the solution to part 1, then the solution to part 2
• Try not to simply copy-and-paste for part 2, but instead edit and re-use the code for part 1 as much as possible

That last point has the caveat of people not ever seeing the actual code I used for part 1, and only seeing the code that's been factored to solve both parts. To solve this, maybe next year I'll make a habit of saving my part 1 code separately. I'll still stick to the arbitrary goal of making sure my part 2 version still prints out part 1's solution.
