Jake Fitzenreiderfitzentoaster.hashnode.dev·Aug 29, 2023Day 12: Advent of Code 2017 CatchupDay 12 of the 2017 Advent of Code was a fun one. In it, we're given a series of 'programs' that are connected to one another via 'pipes,' and we have to find out, no matter how roundabout the path, how many programs can connect to program 0. Now I'm ...DiscussAdventOfCode2017
Jake Fitzenreiderfitzentoaster.hashnode.dev·Aug 27, 2023Advent Of Code 2017 Catchup Day 6Iterators. They're confusing. They're (sorta) pointers. They're mostly pointers. But they're not quite normal pointers. They're magic in C++ and manipulating data with the standard library requires some clever usage of them. AoC 2017 Day 6 requires u...DiscussAdventOfCode2017
Jake Fitzenreiderfitzentoaster.hashnode.dev·Aug 26, 2023Advent of Code 2017 Day 5Advent of Code 2017 Day 5 is a fun little diversion. Basically, we have the world's simplest assembly code: each line has a line number, and a jump command. Every time a jump is taken, its value increases by one. We have to solve the problem of figur...DiscussAdventOfCode2017
Jake Fitzenreiderfitzentoaster.hashnode.dev·Aug 26, 2023Advent of Code 2017 Day 3Turtles all the way down. I won't be sharing all the code I used to solve day 3, but there's a 'new' form of memory that writes in a spiral, using every node, and we have to work with this. There's a mathematical way to solve this If you notice, the ...DiscussAdventOfCode2017

(Spoiler alert they're both) https://adventofcode.com/2017/day/2 For part 1 of this challenge, I wrote a simple min/max checker algo, you've probably run into this in CS classes or any number of tut...Discusslearning
Jake Fitzenreiderfitzentoaster.hashnode.dev·Aug 16, 2023Advent Of Code Catchup Journey in C++ (Day 1)/H2 I spent the summer taking an intense course in IBM HLASM, letting my C++/Javascript fall by the wayside. That's what I was staring at/working with for the past few months. I absolutely loved working in assembler, but it's time to get back to mor...Discusslearning
