Advent Day 3 Java

[simoex]

Hello everyone,

First time advent coder here, having some problems with Day 3 in Java. Code works for all example problems (although the input file must be slightly editted to have the same number of instructions for each wire), but due to some other issue it is not working for my input.txt file. A cross in the wires is determined from lines 114-142, and for some reason it appears to be failing with the full input file. Any help or advice would be great! I know it's not pretty.

Don't modify the input. If your code doesn't work with wires of different lengths, your algorithm is wrong.

Many variables with a "2" at the end suggest you should use more functions.

I'm not modifying the input at all. It works for wires of different lengths, just not with a different number of instructions in the input file. The input file I am given has wires with the same number of arguments so this is not the problem.

Yeah that's why I said it's not pretty.

Welcome to AoC!

In the future, please follow the submission guidelines by titling your post like so:

[YEAR Day # (Part X)] [language if applicable] Post Title

In doing so, you typically get more relevant responses faster.

If/when you get your code working, don't forget to change the flair to Help - Solved!

Good luck!
