Rust
Proper Point and Vector types made this pretty simple, part 2 was just a tiny change (basically
while
instead ofif
), but left with a lot of copy-pasted code.Solution
also on github
I also did it in Rust, though mine is quite a bit more verbose than yours :). https://gitlab.com/bricka/advent-of-code-2024-rust/-/blob/main/src/days/day08.rs?ref_type=heads
Have you considered using a
HashSet<(usize, usize)>
to store the visited locations instead of a 2d vector?I try to use
Vec
s instead ofHashSet
s and maps whenever the key domain is reasonably small (just the grid in this case), simply because in the end direct memory access is a lot faster than always hashing values.But looking at this case again, it is certainly a lot easier to have just
antinodes.len()
at the end instead of counting all true values. This datastructure is also not really performance-critical, so aHashSet
is probably the cleaner choice here.
