Notes

• Day 1 : I'm no regex wizard so I had to find a workaround to handle matches overlap in part two.
• Day 2 : a quick and easy one
• Day 3 : knowning where indexes start and stop is hard 🤣
• Day 4 : what a lucky elf!
• Day 5 : part two was a great opportunity to use Range, I can't believe I got it right on the first try!
• Day 6 : solved by brute force but we should be able to find an analytical solution. After all it's just a quadratic equation. UPDATE : went for it!
• Day 7 : ordering everything.
• Day 8 : keeping part two for later. Update: one year later, it's done!
• Day 9 : part two: ok let's copy-paste and change signs 😂.
• Day 10 : well I hope I won't have to read my implementation for part two ever again!
• Day 11 : why do I keep trying with Int? Long is always the solution!
• Day 12 : a bit of cache can do wonders but still far from an optimized solution.
• Day 13 : we don't really need to fix the smudge.
• Day 14 : I thought it was handy that I could mutate values in a Array: helped at first and then led to headscratching behavior.
• Day 15 : I'm on a strong streak of getting the right answer on the first try. Am I jinxing myself?
• Day 16 : probably far from optimized (part two took a bit above 1s to compute) but the job is done!
• Day 17 : what a terrible implementation, but I think I got the right idea. Needs improvement though. I will tackle part two later.
• Day 18 : that's another part two for later 😅.
• Day 19 : part two looks fun but will have to wait too!
• Day 20 : trying to catch up; can we brute force part two?
• Day 21 : quick part one
• Day 22 : 🙈
• Day 23 : finally getting somewhere! Not the most efficient way to solve part two, but the job is done.
• Day 24 : solving part one with highschool mathematics... so long ago 👴, I had to grab my formula book!
