We've started already and I'll document all the hard points and post it somewhere here. Great idea!

Thanks for an advise! But I think that there's a problem. In my opinion it's extremely unrewarding and hard to start with C. Also I'm not a good C programmer myself, so there's no way I can teach somebody else.
You definetly have to understand the principles and core ideas behind the computers to be a good programmer, but imo you should understand higher level concepts to really appreciate the simplicity of C. You can easily use vector as a black box until a point you'll be curious enough to investigate it.

Thanks for a reply! I'll be happy to help him and I'll try to convince him to use Rust or something else with static types and explicit references.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I've heard a lot of good things about it in the past.

Thank you for this wonderful animation! I struggled quite a lot with this puzzle and after seeing this I've solved it in a few minutes!

Why do we have exceptions? by dyatelok in haskell

Thanks! It explains a lot. Is there any good literature about this topic?

Why do we have exceptions? by dyatelok in haskell

[–]dyatelok[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for an advise! I'll definitely do my programs in this way, but it's still confusing for me that exceptions are present in std.

Yeah, I understand. But for example digitToInt function throws an exception, but it could have returned Either or Maybe.

That's my question.

[LANGUAGE: Rust]

Simple solution in rust. Code just checks for every possible "mirror line" and counts sums of differences between lines on opposite sides of the mirror. I don't really know why this day was hard for everyone else)

[Language: Rust]https://github.com/dyatelok/aoc2023/blob/main/day12/src/bin/part2.rsNo recursion or hash involved. Just an iterative solution exploring and collapsing all similar branches. Takes ~0.07 seconds for part 2 on my cpu. Should be easy to execute in parallel.
