Advent of Code 2022 🎄

I've only used Python in my last job, so I'll use AoC 2022 as a refresher in Java.

I tried to make the code as clean and easy to read as possible, and I've also provided a short explanation to most solutions so that they're easier to understand.

Structure

Solutions

The corresponding files for each solution are grouped within a dayXX package. Each package contains:

• Solution.java: my implementation of the solution to the puzzle
• puzzle.txt: a dump of the puzzle text from the website, with the source link at the top
• input.txt: the puzzle input I received

Each solution extends the SolutionBase interface and must implement the runPart1 and runPart2 methods which return the result as a string.

Tests and results

Each test implements the SolutionBaseTest interface and must specify the expected results in the test assertions.

Running

All solutions via tests

You can run all the tests using gradle:

./gradlew test

or if you're using Windows:

gradlew.bat test

Individual solutions via main

You can also take advantage of the functionality implemented in Main.java to run the puzzles individually:

./gradlew run --args='<day> <part>'

or if you're using Windows:

gradlew.bat run --args="<day> <part>"

replacing <day> with the puzzle's day number and <part> with either 1 or 2, or 0 to run both parts.

Running without the arguments will prompt you to enter them.
