Advent of Code 2023 Day 7: https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/7
Today’s challenge was not terribly difficult to understand or to implement
but ended up taking me quite a bit of time to actually complete because
the implementation started to grow quite large. In part two I had a bug
where I was returning false from the is_kind_of_hand functions when I
should have been just letting the value equal 0 if there weren’t any
jokers. The general strategy that I adopted today is to build a custom
type Hand which implements its own sorting functions based on the input
from the prompt. Then the actual daily function just needs to parse the
input and sort the result and the work is mostly done.
