🎄🎄🎄Advent of Code 2024 - Java 🎄🎄🎄

Welcome to the Advent of Code¹ Java project created by tinohertlein.

In this repository, Tino is about to provide solutions for the puzzles using Java language.

What are Tino's rules for solving the puzzles - in order of importance?

1. Prefer functional/declarative programming style to imperative programming style
2. Prefer readability to performance
3. Don't care about memory usage or execution duration

What do I need to run this stuff?

• Java 23 - preview is enabled in build.gradle
• Gradle 8+ (but Gradle wrapper is included)

How to use this repo?

Build

• gradle build

Test

• gradle test

Benchmark

• Though focus is more on readability than performance of the solutions, there are also jmh benchmark files in ./src/jmh that can be used to compare different solution approaches.
• gradle jmh

Setup files for the next puzzle day

• gradle setupNextDay
• Template files starting with Day00 are used as copy source for that.

Download challenge input for the current puzzle day

• Create a file .aocconfig with your advent-of-code session cookie.
• gradle downloadChallengeInput

Anything else?

Advent of Code – An annual event of Christmas-oriented programming challenges started December 2015. Every year since then, beginning on the first day of December, a programming puzzle is published every day for twenty-five days. You can solve the puzzle and provide an answer using the language of your choice.
