Overview

This repo contains my solutions to the AdventOfCode problems using Python3. The challenge is attempted to take part in the Chingu 2023 Holiday Hackathon event.

The solutions are modified with new variable names to improve readability but the logic remains the same as the original code I used to solve the puzzles.

Getting Started

These instructions will help you run the code in your local environment.

Prerequisites

Before starting, you need to install the following on your computer.

Running Code

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/itzmidinesh/advent-of-code.git

2. Run cd advent-of-code to change the working directory.
3. Place the input data from AdventOfCode into the file input.txt.
4. Run the following in the terminal to install dependencies using pip.

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   Note: This step is needed only for running Day 24 & Day 25 scripts.
5. Run the following in your terminal or command prompt to run the script.

   python 2023\day_xx

   Note: Replace xx with the day of the challenge you are trying to solve. i.e., 01, 02, etc.
6. The solution for both parts of the challenge for the day would be printed in the terminal.

Screenshots

Here is an example screenshot of how to run the script in the terminal/command prompt.
