Welcome to my Advent of Code 2024 repository! Here, I share my solutions and input files for each day’s challenge as we embark on 25 days of festive coding fun.
Advent of Code is an annual programming challenge that runs every December (this is my first time participating!). Each day from December 1st to December 25th, a new puzzle is released at 6:00 AM (Sweden time). These puzzles are designed to test problem-solving skills and programming knowledge—it's a fun and challenging way to celebrate the holiday season. I’m also using this challenge to build a daily coding routine.
The repository is organized by day (hopefully!), with each folder containing:
- AOC#.ipynb: My solution for the day's challenge (the edited one).
- AOC#_Input.txt: The input file for the day's challenge.
I’ve managed to code for 25 consecutive days—something I’ve never done before—and I’m really proud of this streak!
I also want to be transparent:
- I initially promised myself not to use any external help, but a few days in, the leaderboard pressure got to me, and I ended up using ChatGPT for some hints and guidance.
- Even though I feel a bit guilty, I learned a lot from the puzzles and from the AI’s suggestions.
- Ultimately, I’m happy I stuck to a daily coding habit for these 25 days without missing a single day, and I look forward to continuing to grow my skills.
Thank you for visiting, and happy coding!
