Kotlin

A fun and small challenge. First read all locks, transpose their profile and count the #s (-1 for the full row). Then do the same for the keys.

Lastly find all keys for all locks that do not sum to more than 5 with their teeth:

Code


val lockRegex = Regex("""#{5}(\r?\n[.#]{5}){6}""")
val keyRegex = Regex("""([.#]{5}\r?\n){6}#{5}""")

fun parseLocksAndKeys(inputFile: String): Pair<List<IntArray>, List<IntArray>> {
    val input = readResource(inputFile)
    val locks = lockRegex
        .findAll(input)
        .map {
            it
                .value
                .lines()
                .map { line -> line.toList() }
                .transpose()
                .map { line -> line.count { c -> c == '#' } - 1 }
                .toIntArray()
        }
        .toList()

    val keys = keyRegex
        .findAll(input)
        .map {
            it
                .value
                .lines()
                .map { line -> line.toList() }
                .transpose()
                .map { line -> line.count { c -> c == '#' } - 1 }
                .toIntArray()
        }
        .toList()

    return locks to keys
}

fun part1(inputFile: String): String {
    val (locks, keys) = parseLocksAndKeys(inputFile)

    val matches = locks.map { lock ->
        keys.filter { key ->
            for (i in lock.indices) {
                // Make sure the length of the key and lock do not exceed 5
                if (lock[i] + key[i] > 5) {
                    return@filter false
                }
            }
            true
        }
    }
        .flatten()
        .count()

    return matches.toString()
}
