Advent of Code

Welcome to my solutions for Advent of Code. These solutions are written in JavaScript using a functional programming approach.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone git@github.com:assadk88/advent-of-code.git

2. Navigate to the repository's directory

   cd advent-of-code

3. Install the necessary dependencies

   npm install

Usage

Challenges can be found in the src/ directory, where they are organised by year and then day.

Challenges are structured so that the solution (main.js) and its associated input (input.js) are defined separately. These are both imported into main.test.js. You can then perform a test to verify that the program is producing the correct output.

Verifying solutions by year

To execute the tests for a given year perform:

# npm run test:<year>
npm run test:2023

Verifying solutions by specific challenge

To execute the test associated with a specific challenge, you must specify its file path. For example to execute the test for the first challenge in 2023's Advent of Code you would perform:

NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules npx jest test --runTestsByPath src/2023/01/main.test.js
