Uiua

It’s been a while since I posted one of these, but I thought this would be straightforward in Uiua. Turns out that bitwise operations are a bit (haha) of a pain, so the Rng operation is very slow at 4sec for live data.

I took this as an opportunity to play with the ⧈(stencil) operator which probably slowed things down too.

Nice breather today (still traumatized from the robots). At some point I thought you had to do some magic for predicting special properties of the pseudorandom function, but no, just collect all values, have a big table for all sequences and in the end take the maximum value in that table. Part 1 takes 6.7ms, part 2 19.2ms.

fn step(n: u32) -> u32 {
    let a = (n ^ (n << 6)) % (1 << 24);
    let b = a ^ (a >> 5);
    (b ^ (b << 11)) % (1 << 24)
}

fn part1(input: String) {
    let sum = input
        .lines()
        .map(|l| {
            let n = l.parse().unwrap();
            (0..2000).fold(n, |acc, _| step(acc)) as u64
        })
        // More than 2¹⁰ 24-bit numbers requires 35 bits
        .sum::<u64>();
    println!("{sum}");
}

const N_SEQUENCES: usize = 19usize.pow(4);

fn sequence_key(sequence: &[i8]) -> usize {
    sequence
        .iter()
        .enumerate()
        .map(|(i, x)| (x + 9) as usize * 19usize.pow(i as u32))
        .sum()
}

fn part2(input: String) {
    // Table for collecting the amount of bananas for every possible sequence
    let mut table = vec![0; N_SEQUENCES];
    // Mark the sequences we encountered in a round to ensure that only the first occurence is used
    let mut seen = vec![false; N_SEQUENCES];
    for l in input.lines() {
        let n = l.parse().unwrap();
        let (diffs, prices): (Vec<i8>, Vec<u8>) = (0..2000)
            .scan(n, |acc, _| {
                let next = step(*acc);
                let diff = (next % 10) as i8 - (*acc % 10) as i8;
                *acc = next;
                Some((diff, (next % 10) as u8))

            }
        }
        // Reset seen sequences for next round
        seen.fill(false);

Go

Re-familiarizing myself with Go. The solution to Part 2 is fairly simply, the whole packing of the sequence into a single integer to save on memory was an optimization I did afterwards based on looking at other solutions. I thought it was cool.

Well, that was certainly a bit easier than yesterday…

I know running a window over each full list of 2000 prices rather than looking for cycles etc means I’m doing a lot of unnecessary work, but it only takes a couple of seconds, so that’ll do.

import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
import 'package:more/more.dart';

rng(int i) {
  i = ((i << 6) ^ i) % 16777216;
  i = ((i >> 5) ^ i) % 16777216;
  i = ((i << 11) ^ i) % 16777216;
  return i;
}

Iterable<int> getPrices(int val, int rounds) {
  var ret = [val];
  for (var _ in 1.to(rounds)) {
    ret.add(val = rng(val));
  }
  return ret.map((e) => e % 10);
}

int run(int val, int rounds) => 0.to(rounds).fold(val, (s, t) => s = rng(s));
part1(lines) => [for (var i in lines.map(int.parse)) run(i, 2000)].sum;

part2(List<String> lines) {
  var market = <int, int>{}.withDefault(0);
  for (var seed in lines.map(int.parse)) {
    var seen = <int>{};
    for (var w in getPrices(seed, 2000).window(5)) {
      var key = // Can't use lists as keys, so make cheap hash.
          w.window(2).map((e) => e[1] - e[0]).reduce((s, t) => (s << 4) + t);
      if (seen.contains(key)) continue;
      seen.add(key);
      market[key] += w.last;
    }
  }
  return market.values.max;
}

I have no Idea how to optimize this and am looking forward to the other solutions that probably run in sub-single-second times. I like my solution because it was simple to write which I hadn’t managed in the previous days, runs in 17 seconds with no less than 100MB of RAM.

        let step2 = prune . mix step1 $ step1 `div` 32
        let step3 = prune . mix step2 $ step2 * 2048
        step3

part1 = sum . map (head . drop 2000 . iterate nextSecret)
part2 = map (iterate nextSecret
                >>> take 2001
                >>> map priceof
                >>> (id &&& tail)
                >>> uncurry (zipWith (curry (uncurry (flip (-)) &&& snd)))
                >>> map (take 4) . List.tails

A nice easy one today; shame I couldn’t start on time. I had a go at refactoring to reduce the peak memory usage, but it just ended up a mess. Here’s a tidy version.

bananaCounts seed =
  let secrets = iterate next seed
      prices = map (`mod` 10) secrets
      changes = zipWith (-) (drop 1 prices) prices
      sequences = map (take 4) $ tails changes
   in Map.fromListWith (const id) $
        take 2000 (zip sequences (drop 4 prices))

main = do
  input <- map read . lines <$> readFile "input22"
  print . sum $ map ((!! 2000) . iterate next) input
  print . maximum $ Map.unionsWith (+) $ map bananaCounts input
