AdventOfCodeSupport 1.1.2

AdventOfCodeSupport

This package provides support to simplify the process of storing each day's puzzle within a single solution. Each day is automatically registered to a central location, with built-in support for BenchmarkDotNet.

Usage

• Begin by adding this NuGet package to your project AdventOfCodeSupport.
• Add a folder to your project for the current year i.e. 2022.
• Add a subfolder to the year called Inputs.
• Place each day's input into that folder named by day with 2 digits 01.txt.
• Create a class in the 2022 folder called Day01.cs

using AdventOfCodeSupport;

namespace Foo._2022;

public class Day01 : AdventBase
{
    public Day01() : base(/*year*/2022, /*day*/1) { }

    protected override void InternalPart1()
    {
        // Part 1 solution here.
        Console.WriteLine($"Input characters: {InputText.Length}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Input lines: {InputLines.Length}");
    }

    protected override void InternalPart2()
    {
        // Part 2 solution here.
    }
}

• The properties InputText and InputLines load from the day's input file automatically.
• Create a new AdventSolutions() at your entry point.
• Select your day from the AdventSolutions, for example:

using AdventOfCodeSupport;

var solutions = new AdventSolutions();
var today = solutions.GetMostRecentDay();
var day3 = solutions.GetDay(2022, 3);
var day4 = solutions.First(x => x.Year == 2022 && x.Day == 4);

• Run your solution parts with today.Part1().Part2().
• Or benchmark them with today.Benchmark(), benchmarking requires running in Release.
