Advent of Code (AOC) is a popular, well-established, Christmas-themed event which releases a set of programming puzzles each December. Thousands of participants attempt, solve, and share solutions to these puzzles as a way to enjoy and expand their knowledge of programming.

This repository is a collection of all my solutions to AOC puzzles, in multiple languages.

Executables

Solutions are organised by languages, and each language has its own executable.

• aocc - Written in C.
• aoccpp - Written in C++.
• aocjava - Written in Java.
• aocpy - Written in Python.

These executables are used to run specific solutions, all solutions, or the latest solution (default behaviour without arguments).

Building and Running

To build aocc and aoccpp from a Unix command line, run:

mkdir -p build && cmake -B build && cmake --build build

To run, for example, the solution for 2024, day 1, part 1, in C:

./build/aocc -y 2024 -d 1 -p 1

Options

• -y / --year - Specify the year. If ommited, it will use the year of the most recent solution.
• -d / --day - Specify the day. If ommited, it will use the day of the most recent solution (for the specified year).
• -p / --part - Specify the solution part. If ommited, it will use part 2 if it's available, otherwise it will use part 1.
