Day 7: Camel Cards

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Nim

I wrote some nice code for sorting poker hands, just defining the < and == operations for my CardSet and Hand types, and letting the standard library's sort function handle the rest.

It was quite frustrating to be told that my answer was wrong, though. I dumped the full sorted hand list and checked it manually to make sure everything was working properly, and it was. Wasted a few hours trying to figure out what was wrong. Ended up grabbing someone else's code and running it in order to compare the resulting hand list. Theirs was clearly ordered wrong, but somehow ended up with the correct answer?

Turns out that Camel Cards isn't Poker. -_-

Rather than rewrite my code entirely, I settled on some slightly ugly hacks to make it work for Camel Cards, and to handle the wildcards in part 2.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Dart

I'm glad I took the time to read the directions very carefully before starting coding :-)

Top Tip: my ranking of hand types relies on the fact that if you count instances of each face and sort the resulting list from high to low, you get a list that when compared with lists from other hands gives an exact correspondence with the order of the hand types as defined, so no need for a bunch of if/thens, just

  var type = Multiset.from(hand).counts.sorted(descending).join('');

Otherwise it should all be pretty self-explanatory apart from where I chose to map card rank to hex digits in order to facilitate sorting, so 'b' means 'J'!

int descending(T a, T b) => b.compareTo(a);
var cToH = "  23456789TJQKA"; // used to map card rank to hex for sorting.

handType(List hand, {wildcard = false}) {
  var type = Multiset.from(hand).counts.sorted(descending).join('');
  var i = hand.indexOf('b');
  return (!wildcard || i == -1)
      ? type
      : '23456789acde'
          .split('')
          .map((e) => handType(hand.toList()..[i] = e, wildcard: true))
          .fold(type, (s, t) => s.compareTo(t) >= 0 ? s : t);
}

solve(List lines, {wildcard = false}) => lines
    .map((e) {
      var l = e.split(' ');
      var hand =
          l.first.split('').map((e) => cToH.indexOf(e).toRadixString(16));
      var type = handType(hand.toList(), wildcard: wildcard);
      if (wildcard) hand = hand.map((e) => e == 'b' ? '0' : e);
      return (hand.join(), type, int.parse(l.last));
    })
    .sorted((a, b) {
      var c = a.$2.compareTo(b.$2);
      return (c == 0) ? a.$1.compareTo(b.$1) : c;
    })
    .indexed(offset: 1)
    .map((e) => e.value.$3 * e.index)
    .sum;

part1(List lines) => solve(lines);

part2(List lines) => solve(lines, wildcard: true);

It works, but even I can't understand this code any more as I'm well into my second beer, so don't put this into production, okay? (Run it here if you dare.)

Nim

Part 1 is just a sorting problem. Nim's standard library supports sorting with custom compare functions, so I only had to implement cmp() for my custom type and I was done in no time.
To get the star in Part 2 I was generating every possible combination of card hands with Jokers replaced by other cards. It was pretty fast, under a second. Didn't figure out the deterministic method by myself, but coded it after couple hints from Nim Discord people.
Didn't expect an easy challenge for today, but was pleasantly surprised. No weird edge cases, no hidden traps, puzzle text was easy to understand and input parsing is painless.

Total runtime: 1 ms
Puzzle rating: Almost Pefect 9/10
Code: day_07/solution.nim

This wasn't too bad. Had a worried moment when the part 2 solution took more than half a second. Maybe a better solution that brute forcing all the joker combinations, but it worked.

I barely registered a difference between part 1 and part 2.

Part 1: 00:00:00.0018302
Part 2: 00:00:00.0073136

I suppose it took about 3.5 times as long, but I didn't notice :P

Edit: I realize that I made the implicit assumption in my solution that it doesn't make sense to have multiple jokers be interpreted as different values. i.e., The hand with the maximum value will have all Jokers interpreted as the same other card. I think that is true though. It worked out for me anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yea I was thinking there might be a simplification trick, but also figured "there can't be that many combinations right?" I suspect that was probably an intended optimisation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I think one doesn't need to generate all combinations. All combinations using cards already present in the hand should be enough (since a joker can only increase the value of the hand by being grouped with existing cards (since in this game having four of a kind is always better than having any hand with a four of a kind/full house and having 3 is always better than any hand with pairs, and having a pair is better than any card without any cards of the same kind)). This massively decreases the amount of combinations needed to be generated per jokery hand.

Rust

Getting the count of each card, the two highest counts easily show what type of hand we have. For part 2 I just added the number of jokers to the highest count.

I spent some time messing around with generics to minimize code duplication between the solutions to both parts. I could have absolutely just copied everything and made small changes, but now my solution is generic over puzzle parts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

C#

Not too bad - I just scored every hand for the first part so I could easily sort it.

For the second part I just brute forced the replacements for the hand type matchinge (first digit of score)

Language: Python

This was fun. More enjoyable than I initially thought (though I've done card sorting code before).

Part 1

This was pretty straightforward: create a histogram of the cards in each hand to determine their type, and if there is a tie-breaker, compare each card pairwise. I use the Counter class from collections to do the counting, and then had a dictionary/table to convert labels to numeric values for comparison. I used a very OOP approach and wrote a magic method for comparing hands and used that with Python's builtin sort. I even got to use Enum!

LABELS = {l: v for v, l in enumerate('23456789TJQKA', 2)}

class HandType(IntEnum):
    FIVE_OF_A_KIND  = 6
    FOUR_OF_A_KIND  = 5
    FULL_HOUSE      = 4
    THREE_OF_A_KIND = 3
    TWO_PAIR        = 2
    ONE_PAIR        = 1
    HIGH_CARD       = 0

class Hand:
    def __init__(self, cards=str, bid=str):
        self.cards  = cards
        self.bid    = int(bid)
        counts      = Counter(self.cards)
        self.type   = (
            HandType.FIVE_OF_A_KIND  if len(counts) == 1 else
            HandType.FOUR_OF_A_KIND  if len(counts) == 2 and any(l for l, count in counts.items() if count == 4) else
            HandType.FULL_HOUSE      if len(counts) == 2 and any(l for l, count in counts.items() if count == 3) else
            HandType.THREE_OF_A_KIND if len(counts) == 3 and any(l for l, count in counts.items() if count == 3) else
            HandType.TWO_PAIR        if len(counts) == 3 and any(l for l, count in counts.items() if count == 2) else
            HandType.ONE_PAIR        if len(counts) == 4 and any(l for l, count in counts.items() if count == 2) else
            HandType.HIGH_CARD
        )

    def __lt__(self, other):
        if self.type == other.type:
            for s_label, o_label in zip(self.cards, other.cards):
                if LABELS[s_label] == LABELS[o_label]:
                    continue
                return LABELS[s_label] &lt; LABELS[o_label]
            return False
        return self.type &lt; other.type

    def __repr__(self):
        return f'Hand(cards={self.cards},bid={self.bid},type={self.type})'

def read_hands(stream=sys.stdin) -> list[Hand]:
    return [Hand(*line.split()) for line in stream]

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    hands    = sorted(read_hands(stream))
    winnings = sum(rank * hand.bid for rank, hand in enumerate(hands, 1))
    print(winnings)

Part 2

For the second part, I just had to add some post-processing code to convert the jokers into actual cards. The key insight is to find the highest and most numerous non-Joker card and convert all the Jokers to that card label.

This had two edge cases that tripped me up:

  1. 'JJJJJ': There is no other non-Joker here, so I messed up and ranked this the lowest because I ended up removing all counts.

  2. 'JJJ12': This also messed me up b/c the Joker was the most numerous card, and I didn't handle that properly.

Once I fixed the post-processing code though, everything else remained the same. Below, I only show the parts that changed from Part A.

LABELS = {l: v for v, l in enumerate('J23456789TQKA', 1)}

...

class Hand:
    def __init__(self, cards=str, bid=str):
        self.cards  = cards
        self.bid    = int(bid)
        counts      = Counter(self.cards)

        if 'J' in counts and len(counts) > 1:
            max_label = max(set(counts) - {'J'}, key=lambda l: (counts[l], LABELS[l]))
            counts[max_label] += counts['J']
            del counts['J']

        self.type   = (...)

My solution in Rust.

Took me way too long to realize I could simply add jokers to the count of the most common card in the hand.

Gonna clean it up now, but pretty simple at the end of it all. Helps that ruby has several methods to make this dead simple, like tally, any?, all?, and zip


Cleaned up solution:

def get_score(tally)
  vals = tally.values
  map = {
    ->(x) { x.any?(5) } => 7,
    ->(x) { x.any?(4) } => 6,
    ->(x) { x.any?(3) &amp;&amp; x.any?(2) } => 5,
    ->(x) { x.any?(3) &amp;&amp; tally.all? { |_, v| v != 2 } } => 4,
    ->(x) { x.count(2) == 2 } => 3,
    ->(x) { x.one?(2) &amp;&amp; tally.all? { |_, v| v &lt;= 2 } } => 2,
    ->(x) { x.all?(1) } => 1,
  }
  map.find { |lambda, _| lambda.call(vals) }[1]
end

def get_ranking(lines, score_map, scores)
  lines.zip(scores).to_h.sort do |a, b|
    a_line, a_score = a
    b_line, b_score = b
    if a_score == b_score
      a_hand, _ = a_line.split
      b_hand, _ = b_line.split
      diff = a_hand.chars.zip(b_hand.chars).drop_while { |a, b| a == b }[0]
      card_1 = score_map.index(diff[0])
      card_2 = score_map.index(diff[1])
      card_1 &lt;=> card_2
    else
      a_score &lt;=> b_score
    end
  end
end

def calculate_total_winnings(ranking)
  max_rank = ranking.size
  (1..max_rank).sum(0) do |rank|
    line = ranking[rank - 1]
    _, bid = line[0].split
    bid.to_i * rank
  end
end

score_map_p1 = %w[. . 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 T J Q K A]
score_map_p2 = %w[. . J 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 T Q K A]

execute(1) do |lines|
  scores = lines.map do |line|
    hand, _ = line.split
    tally = hand.split('').tally
    get_score tally
  end
  ranking = get_ranking(lines, score_map_p1, scores)
  calculate_total_winnings ranking
end

execute(2) do |lines|
  scores = lines.map do |line|
    hand, _ = line.split
    hand_split = hand.split('')
    tally = hand_split.tally
    if hand_split.any? { |c| c == 'J' }
      highest_non_j = tally.reject { |k, v| k == 'J' }.max_by { |k, v| v }
      if highest_non_j.nil?
        tally = { 'A': 5 }
      else
        tally[highest_non_j[0]] += tally['J']
      end
      tally.delete('J')
    end
    get_score tally
  end
  ranking = get_ranking(lines, score_map_p2, scores)
  calculate_total_winnings(ranking)
end

As with the previous days: I'll only post the solution and parsing, not the dependencies I've put into separate files. For the full source code, please see github.

The key idea for part 2 was that

Spoilerit doesn't make any sense to pick different cards for the jokers, and that it's always the highest score to assign all jokers to the most frequent card.

got stuck on both parts due to silly mistakes.
On the other hand I'm no longer behind!

}

Oh boy. bitwise nonsense. Ok, can you explain it to me? I'm terrible at bitwise stuff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Sure! This generates a number for every hand, so that a better hand gets a higher number. The resulting number will contain 11 hexadecimal digits:

0x100000 bbbbb
  ^^^^^^ \____ the hand itself
  |||||\_ 1 if "one pair"
  ||||\__ 1 if "two pairs"
  |||\___ 1 if "three of a kind"
  ||\____ 1 if "full house"
  |\_____ 1 if "four of a kind"
  \______ 1 if "five of a kind"

For example:
 AAAAA: 0x100000 bbbbb
 AAAA2: 0x010000 bbbb0
 22233: 0x001000 00011

The hand itself is 5 hexadecimal digits for every card, 0 for "2" to b for "ace".

This way the higher combination always has a higher number, and hands with the same combination are ordered by the order of the cards in the hand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That is a really cool solution. Thanks for the explanation! I took a much more... um... naive path lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think you have the same solution, basically, just the details are a bit different. I like how you handled the joker, I didn't realise you could just multiply your best streak of cards to get the best possible combination.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didn't multiply the streak, I just took the jokers and added them to the highest hand already in the list. Is that not what you did? It looked the same to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

This is what I meant, but I phrased it poorly :)

In my solution I reimplement the logic of identifying the hand value, but with the presence of joker (instead of just reusing the same logic).

Part 1, in C. This took me way too long, there were so many bugs and problems I overlooked. So it's very long.

EDIT: And part 2

Two days, a few failed solutions, some misread instructions, and a lot of manually parsing output data and debugging silly tiny mistakes... but it's finally done. I don't really wanna talk about it.
