Advent of code 2022 has started.
The first day's task is certainly easy, as expected. You can find the exercise description here: https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/1.
I'm using advent of code as an exercise to get more familiar with Rust. I am going to be using .unwrap()
here as I don't feel like proper error handling is needed in the context of these exercises.
I feel like this solution is simple enough that understanding the code should be easy enough without any extra explanations.
use std::{fs::read_to_string, path::Path};
fn main() {
let path = Path::new("./data/input.txt");
let input = read_to_string(&path).unwrap();
let mut calories = input
.split("\n\n")
.map(|group| group.lines().map(|line| line.parse::<u32>().unwrap()).sum())
.collect::<Vec<u32>>();
// descending sort
calories.sort_by(|a, b| b.cmp(a));
// part 1
println!("{:#?}", calories[0]);
// part 2
println!("{:#?}", calories[0] + calories[1] + calories[2]);
}
