advent_of_code_hhoppe
Python library to process Advent-of-Code puzzles in a Jupyter notebook. See a complete example.
Usage summary:
The preamble optionally specifies reference inputs and answers for the puzzles:
BASE_URL = 'https://github.com/hhoppe/advent_of_code_2021/blob/main/data/google.Hugues_Hoppe.965276/'
INPUT_URL = BASE_URL + '2021_{day:02}_input.txt'
ANSWER_URL = BASE_URL + '2021_{day:02}{part_letter}_answer.txt'
advent = advent_of_code_hhoppe.Advent(
year=2021, input_url=INPUT_URL, answer_url=ANSWER_URL)
For each day (numbered 1..25), the first notebook cell defines a puzzle
object:
puzzle = advent.puzzle(day=1)
The puzzle input string is automatically read into the attribute puzzle.input
.
This input string is unique to each Advent participant.
For each of the two puzzle parts, a function (e.g. process1
) takes an input string and returns a string or integer answer.
Using calls like the following, we time the execution of each function and verify the answers:
puzzle.verify(part=1, func=process1)
puzzle.verify(part=2, func=process2)
At the end of the notebook, a table summarizes timing results.
The puzzle inputs and answers can be more efficiently downloaded using a single ZIP file:
PROFILE = 'google.Hugues_Hoppe.965276'
ZIP_URL = f'https://github.com/hhoppe/advent_of_code_2021/raw/main/data/{PROFILE}.zip'
!if [[ ! -d {PROFILE} ]]; then wget -q {ZIP_URL} && unzip -q {PROFILE}; fi
INPUT_URL = f'{PROFILE}/{{year}}_{{day:02d}}_input.txt'
ANSWER_URL = f'{PROFILE}/{{year}}_{{day:02d}}{{part_letter}}_answer.txt'
advent = advent_of_code_hhoppe.Advent(
year=2021, input_url=INPUT_URL, answer_url=ANSWER_URL)
The puzzle inputs and answers can be obtained directly from adventofcode.com using a web-browser session cookie and the advent-of-code-data
PyPI package:
!pip install -q advent-of-code-data
import aocd
# Fill-in the session cookie in the following:
mkdir -p ~/.config/aocd && echo 53616... >~/.config/aocd/token
advent = advent_of_code_hhoppe.Advent(year=2021)
