Day 12: Hot Springs

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

    Haskell

    Phew! I struggled with this one. A lot of the code here is from my original approach, which cuts down the search space to plausible positions for each group. Unfortunately, that was still way too slow…

    It took an embarrassingly long time to try memoizing the search (which made precomputing valid points far less important). Anyway, here it is!

    readInput s =
      let [a, b] = words s
       in ( map (\case '#' -> Just True; '.' -> Just False; '?' -> Nothing) a,
            map read $ splitOn "," b
          )

            maxStarts = map (len -) $ scanr1 (\g a -> a + g + 1) gs
            startPoints g (a, b) =
