fspoettel/advent-of-code-rust: 🎄Starter template for solving Advent of Code in Rust.

Solutions for Advent of Code in Rust.

This template supports all major OS (macOS, Linux, Windows).

1. Open the template repository on Github.
2. Click Use this template and create your repository.
3. Clone your repository to your computer.
4. If you are solving a previous year's advent of code, change the AOC_YEAR variable in .cargo/config.toml to reflect the year you are solving.

1. Install the Rust toolchain.
2. (recommended) Install the rust-analyzer extension for your code editor.
3. (optional) Install a native debugger. If you are using VS Code, CodeLLDB is a good option.

✨ You can start solving puzzles now! Head to the Usage section to see how to use this template. If you like, you can configure some optional features.

# example: `cargo scaffold 1`
cargo scaffold <day>

# output:
# Created module file "src/bin/01.rs"
# Created empty input file "data/inputs/01.txt"
# Created empty example file "data/examples/01.txt"
# ---
# 🎄 Type `cargo solve 01` to run your solution.

Individual solutions live in the ./src/bin/ directory as separate binaries. Inputs and examples live in the the ./data directory.

Every solution has tests referencing its example file in ./data/examples. Use these tests to develop and debug your solutions against the example input. In VS Code, rust-analyzer will display buttons for running / debugging these unit tests above the unit test blocks.

Tip

If a day has multiple example inputs, you can use the read_file_part() helper in your tests instead of read_file(). If this e.g. applies to day 1, you can create a second example file 01-2.txt and invoke the helper like let result = part_two(&advent_of_code::template::read_file_part("examples", DAY, 2));. This supports an arbitrary number of example files.

You can automatically download puzzle input and description by either appending the --download flag to scaffold (e.g. cargo scaffold 4 --download) or with the separate download command:

# example: `cargo download 1`
cargo download <day>

# output:
# [INFO  aoc] 🎄 aoc-cli - Advent of Code command-line tool
# [INFO  aoc_client] 🎅 Saved puzzle to 'data/puzzles/01.md'
# [INFO  aoc_client] 🎅 Saved input to 'data/inputs/01.txt'
# ---
# 🎄 Successfully wrote input to "data/inputs/01.txt".
# 🎄 Successfully wrote puzzle to "data/puzzles/01.md".

# example: `cargo solve 01`
cargo solve <day>

# output:
#     Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.13s
#     Running `target/debug/01`
# Part 1: 42 (166.0ns)
# Part 2: 42 (41.0ns)

The solve command runs your solution against real puzzle inputs. To run an optimized build of your code, append the --release flag as with any other rust program.

Append the --submit <part> option to the solve command to submit your solution for checking.

cargo all

# output:
#     Running `target/release/advent_of_code`
# ----------
# | Day 01 |
# ----------
# Part 1: 42 (19.0ns)
# Part 2: 42 (19.0ns)
# <...other days...>
# Total: 0.20ms

This runs all solutions sequentially and prints output to the command-line. Same as for the solve command, the --release flag runs an optimized build.

# example: `cargo time 8 --store`
cargo time <day> [--all] [--store]

# output:
# Day 08
# ------
# Part 1: 1 (39.0ns @ 10000 samples)
# Part 2: 2 (39.0ns @ 10000 samples)
#
# Total (Run): 0.00ms
#
# Stored updated benchmarks.

The cargo time command allows you to benchmark your code and store timings in the readme. When benching, the runner will run your code between 10 and 10.000 times, depending on execution time of first execution, and print the average execution time.

cargo time has three modes of execution:

1. cargo time without arguments incrementally benches solutions that do not have been stored in the readme yet and skips the rest.
2. cargo time <day> benches a single solution.
3. cargo time --all benches all solutions.

By default, cargo time does not write to the readme. In order to do so, append the --store flag: cargo time --store.

Please note that these are not scientific benchmarks, understand them as a fun approximation. 😉 Timings, especially in the microseconds range, might change a bit between invocations.

To run tests for a specific day, append --bin <day>, e.g. cargo test --bin 01. You can further scope it down to a specific part, e.g. cargo test --bin 01 part_one.

# example: `cargo read 1`
cargo read <day>

# output:
# Loaded session cookie from "/Users/<snip>/.adventofcode.session".
# Fetching puzzle for day 1, 2022...
# ...the input...

During december, the today shorthand command can be used to:

• scaffold a solution for the current day
• download its input
• and read the puzzle

in one go.

# example: `cargo today` on December 1st
cargo today

# output:
# Created module file "src/bin/01.rs"
# Created empty input file "data/inputs/01.txt"
# Created empty example file "data/examples/01.txt"
# ---
# 🎄 Type `cargo solve 01` to run your solution.
# [INFO  aoc] 🎄 aoc-cli - Advent of Code command-line tool
# [INFO  aoc_client] 🎅 Saved puzzle to 'data/puzzles/01.md'
# [INFO  aoc_client] 🎅 Saved input to 'data/inputs/01.txt'
# ---
# 🎄 Successfully wrote input to "data/inputs/01.txt".
# 🎄 Successfully wrote puzzle to "data/puzzles/01.md".
#
# Loaded session cookie from "/Users/<snip>/.adventofcode.session".
# Fetching puzzle for day 1, 2022...
# ...the input...

1. Install aoc-cli via cargo: cargo install aoc-cli --version 0.12.0
2. Create the file <home_directory>/.adventofcode.session and paste your session cookie into it. To retrieve the session cookie, press F12 anywhere on the Advent of Code website to open your browser developer tools. Look in Cookies under the Application or Storage tab, and copy out the session cookie value. ¹

Once installed, you can use the download command, the read command, and automatically submit solutions via the --submit flag.

This template includes a Github action that automatically updates the readme with your advent of code progress.

To enable it, complete the following steps:

Go to the leaderboard page of the year you want to track and click Private Leaderboard. If you have not created a leaderboard yet, create one by clicking Create It. Your leaderboard should be accessible under https://adventofcode.com/{year}/leaderboard/private/view/{aoc_user_id}.

Go to the Secrets tab in your repository settings and create the following secrets:

• AOC_USER_ID: Go to this page and copy your user id. It's the number behind the # symbol in the first name option. Example: 3031.
• AOC_YEAR: the year you want to track. Example: 2021.
• AOC_SESSION: an active session² for the advent of code website. To get this, press F12 anywhere on the Advent of Code website to open your browser developer tools. Look in your Cookies under the Application or Storage tab, and copy out the session cookie.

Go to the Variables tab in your repository settings and create the following variable:

• AOC_ENABLED: This variable controls whether the workflow is enabled. Set it to true to enable the progress tracker. After you complete AoC or no longer work on it, you can set this to false to disable the CI.

✨ You can now run this action manually via the Run workflow button on the workflow page. If you want the workflow to run automatically, uncomment the schedule section in the readme-stars.yml workflow file or add a push trigger.

Uncomment the respective sections in the ci.yml workflow.

If you are not only interested in the runtime of your solution, but also its memory allocation profile, you can use the template's DHAT integration to analyze it. In order to activate DHAT, call the solve command with the --dhat flag.

cargo solve 1 --dhat

# output:
#     Running `target/dhat/1`
# dhat: Total:     276 bytes in 3 blocks
# dhat: At t-gmax: 232 bytes in 2 blocks
# dhat: At t-end:  0 bytes in 0 blocks
# dhat: The data has been saved to dhat-heap.json, and is viewable with dhat/dh_view.html
# Part 1: 9001 (4.1ms)

The command will output some basic stats to the command-line and generate a dhat-heap.json report in the repo root directory.

You can pass the report a tool like dh-view to view a detailed breakdown of heap allocations.

1. Install rust-analyzer and CodeLLDB.
2. Set breakpoints in your code. ³
3. Click Debug next to the unit test or the main function. ⁴
4. The debugger will halt your program at the specific line and allow you to inspect the local stack. ⁵

1. The session cookie might expire after a while (~1 month) which causes the downloads to fail. To fix this issue, refresh the .adventofcode.session file. ↩
