Advent of Code

This repository contains my solutions to the Advent of Code puzzles.

I would highly encourage solving each puzzle on your own before looking at my solutions, lest you deprive yourself of the satisfaction of solving it yourself.

My Process

When solving Advent of Code puzzles I try to approach them the way I would in the real world. I tend to take a domain-driven design approach where I model the domain of the puzzle before actually attempting to solve it.

Another thing that you might notice is that in my solutions I always keep the first part of the puzzle working when I implement the second. Again, this is due to my desire to mirror real-world scenarios. Very often you must keep existing functionality working when the requirements change or new functionality is added. For a while I thought that this was a common practice, but as I've looked at other people's solutions it seems that this isn't the case: I've seen many people whose final solver only solves the second part of the puzzle.
