Advent of Code Solutions in Go

This repository contains my solutions to the Advent of Code challenges implemented in Go.

The CLI that scaffolds days, downloads input, and submits answers lives in a separate repo: KasimKaizer/aoc-cli. Shared input helpers are imported from github.com/KasimKaizer/aoc-cli/parse.

Project Structure

The repository is organized by year and day:

advent_of_code/
├── 2015/
│   ├── day_01/
│   │   ├── solve.go
│   │   ├── solve_test.go
│   │   └── ...
│   └── ...
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
├── README.md
└── ...

• YYYY: Year of the challenge
  • day_XX: Directory for each day's challenge
    • solve.go: Solution implementation
    • solve_test.go: Test cases for the solution

Scaffolding a new day

Install and run aoc-cli:

go install github.com/KasimKaizer/aoc-cli/cmd/aoc@latest
export AOC_PATH=/path/to/advent_of_code
export AOC_SESSION=your_session_cookie
aoc -y 2024 -d 7

Running the Solutions

Navigate to the appropriate year and day directory, then:

For part one:

go test -v . -run TestSolveOne

For part two:

go test -v . -run TestSolveTwo
