Yay parsers! I've gotten quite comfortable writing these with C. Using out pointers arguments for the cursor that are only updated if the match is successful makes for easy bookkeeping.
Code
#include "common.h"
static int
parse_exact(const char **stringp, const char *expect)
{
const char *s = *stringp;
int i;
for (i=0; s[i] && expect[i] && s[i] == expect[i]; i++)
;
if (expect[i])
return 0;
*stringp = &s[i];
return 1;
}
static int
parse_int(const char **stringp, int *outp)
{
char *end;
int val;
val = (int)strtol(*stringp, &end, 10);
if (end == *stringp)
return 0;
*stringp = end;
if (outp) *outp = val;
return 1;
}
static int
parse_mul(const char **stringp, int *ap, int *bp)
{
const char *cur = *stringp;
int a,b;
if (!parse_exact(&cur, "mul(") ||
!parse_int(&cur, &a) ||
!parse_exact(&cur, ",") ||
!parse_int(&cur, &b) ||
!parse_exact(&cur, ")"))
return 0;
*stringp = cur;
if (ap) *ap = a;
if (bp) *bp = b;
return 1;
}
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
static char buf[32*1024];
const char *cur;
size_t nr;
int p1=0,p2=0, a,b, dont=0;
if (argc > 1)
DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));
nr = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), stdin);
assert(!ferror(stdin));
assert(nr != sizeof(buf));
buf[nr] = '\0';
for (cur = buf; *cur; )
if (parse_exact(&cur, "do()"))
dont = 0;
else if (parse_exact(&cur, "don't()"))
dont = 1;
else if (parse_mul(&cur, &a, &b)) {
p1 += a * b;
if (!dont) p2 += a * b;
} else
cur++;
printf("03: %d %d\n", p1, p2);
}
Got the code a little shorter:
Code
#include "common.h"
static int
parse_mul(const char **stringp, int *ap, int *bp)
{
const char *cur = *stringp, *end;
if (strncmp(cur, "mul(", 4)) { return 0; } cur += 4;
*ap = (int)strtol(cur, (char **)&end, 10);
if (end == cur) { return 0; } cur = end;
if (*cur != ',') { return 0; } cur += 1;
*bp = (int)strtol(cur, (char **)&end, 10);
if (end == cur) { return 0; } cur = end;
if (*cur != ')') { return 0; } cur += 1;
*stringp = cur;
return 1;
}
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
static char buf[32*1024];
const char *p;
size_t nr;
int p1=0,p2=0, a,b, dont=0;
if (argc > 1)
DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));
nr = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), stdin);
assert(!ferror(stdin));
assert(nr != sizeof(buf));
buf[nr] = '\0';
for (p = buf; *p; )
if (parse_mul(&p, &a, &b)) { p1 += a*b; p2 += a*b*!dont; }
else if (!strncmp(p, "do()", 4)) { dont = 0; p += 4; }
else if (!strncmp(p, "don't()", 7)) { dont = 1; p += 7; }
else p++;
printf("03: %d %d\n", p1, p2);
}

From a first glance it was obviously a regex problem.
I'm using tinyre here instead of stdlib re
library just because I'm more familiar with it.
import pkg/tinyre
proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
var allow = true
for match in input.match(reG"mul\(\d+,\d+\)|do\(\)|don't\(\)"):
if match == "do()": allow = true
elif match == "don't()": allow = false
else:
let pair = match[4..^2].split(',')
let mult = pair[0].parseInt * pair[1].parseInt
result.part1 += mult
if allow: result.part2 += mult
I shy away from regexes for these parsing problems because part 2 likes to mess those up but here it worked beautifully. Nice and compact solution!
Haskell

part2 = snd . foldl foldOp (True, 0) . fst . last . readP_to_S parser2
main = getContents >>= print . (part1 &&& part2)
Of course it's point-free
I couldn't figure it out in haskell, so I went with bash for the first part
Shell
cat example | grep -Eo "mul\([[:digit:]]{1,3},[[:digit:]]{1,3}\)" | cut -d "(" -f 2 | tr -d ")" | tr "," "*" | paste -sd+ | bc
but this wouldn't rock anymore in the second part, so I had to resort to python for it
Python
import sys
f = "\n".join(sys.stdin.readlines())
f = f.replace("don't()", "\ndon't()\n")
f = f.replace("do()", "\ndo()\n")
import re
enabled = True
muls = []
for line in f.split("\n"):
if line == "don't()":
enabled = False
if line == "do()":
enabled = True
if enabled:
for match in re.finditer(r"mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)", line):
muls.append(int(match.group(1)) * int(match.group(2)))
pass
pass
print(sum(muls))
Really cool trick. I did a bunch of regex matching that I'm sure I won't remember how it works few weeks from now, this is so much readable
Nice, sometimes a few extra linebreaks can do the trick...
My first insinct was similar, add line breaks to the do and dont modifiers. But I got toa caught up thinking id have to keep track of the added characters, I wound up just abusing split()-
I started poking at doing a proper lexer/parser, but then I thought about how early in AoC it is and how low the chance is that the second part will require proper parsing.
So therefore; hello regex my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.

Oof, a parsing problem :/ This is some nasty-ass code. step

Love to see you chewing through this parsing problem in Haskell, I didn't dare use Parsec because I wasn't confident enough.
Why did you decide to have a strict definition of Mul !Int !Int
?
My guess is because a linter and/or HLS was suggesting it. I know HLS used to suggest making your fields strict in almost all cases. In this case I have a hunch that it slightly cuts down on memory usage because we use almost all Mul
s either way. So it does not need to keep the string it is parsed from in memory as part of the thunk.
But it probably makes a small/negligible difference here.
Yep, HLS suggested it, and I figured since I'm definitely going to be using all of the values (in part one, at least), why not?
Normally I ignore that kind of nitpicky suggestion though.
Python
Part1:
matches = re.findall(r"(mul\((\d+),(\d+)\))", input)
muls = [int(m[1]) * int(m[2]) for m in matches]
print(sum(muls))
Part2:
instructions = list(re.findall(r"(do\(\)|don't\(\)|(mul\((\d+),(\d+)\)))", input)
mul_enabled = True
muls = 0
for inst in instructions:
if inst[0] == "don't()":
mul_enabled = False
elif inst[0] == "do()":
mul_enabled = True
elif mul_enabled:
muls += int(inst[2]) * int(inst[3])

Uses experimental feature of fold
to track the running state of do/don't.

fun part1(input: String): Int {
val pattern = "mul\\((\\d{1,3}),(\\d{1,3})\\)".toRegex()
var sum = 0
pattern.findAll(input).forEach { match ->
val first = match.groups[1]?.value?.toInt()!!
val second = match.groups[2]?.value?.toInt()!!
sum += first * second
}
return sum
}
fun part2(input: String): Int {
val pattern = "mul\\((\\d{1,3}),(\\d{1,3})\\)|don't\\(\\)|do\\(\\)".toRegex()
var sum = 0
var enabled = true
pattern.findAll(input).forEach { match ->
if (match.value == "do()") enabled = true
else if (match.value == "don't()") enabled = false
else if (enabled) {
val first = match.groups[1]?.value?.toInt()!!
val second = match.groups[2]?.value?.toInt()!!
sum += first * second

return sum

You can avoid having to escape the backslashes in regexps by using multiline strings:
val pattern = """mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)""".toRegex()
Rust with nom parser
Decided to give it a go with the nom parser (first time using this crate). Turned out quite nicely. Had some issues with the alt combinator: All alternatives have to return the same type, using a enum to wrap all options did the trick.
use memmap2::Mmap;
use nom::{
branch::alt, bytes::complete::*, character::complete::*, combinator::map, multi::many_till,
sequence::tuple, AsBytes, IResult,
};
#[derive(Debug)]

Do,
Dont,
Mul(u64, u64),
}
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let file = std::fs::File::open("input.txt")?;
let mmap = unsafe { Mmap::map(&file)? };
let mut sum_part1 = 0;
let mut sum_part2 = 0;
let mut enabled = true;
let mut cursor = mmap.as_bytes();
while let Ok(token) = parse(cursor) {
match token.1 .1 {
Token::Do => enabled = true,
Token::Dont => enabled = false,
Token::Mul(left, right) => {
let prod = left * right;
sum_part1 += prod;
if enabled {
sum_part2 += prod;
}
}
}
cursor = token.0;
}
println!("part1: {} part2: {}", sum_part1, sum_part2);
Ok(())
}
type ParseResult<'a> =
Result<(&'a [u8], (Vec<char>, Token)), nom::Err<nom::error::Error<&'a [u8]>>>;
fn parse(input: &[u8]) -> ParseResult {

Go
Part 1, just find the regex groups, parse to int, and done.
Part 1
func part1() {
file, _ := os.Open("input.txt")
defer file.Close()
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)
re := regexp.MustCompile(`mul\(([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{1,3})\)`)
product := 0
for scanner.Scan() {
line := scanner.Text()
submatches := re.FindAllStringSubmatch(line, -1)
for _, s := range submatches {
a, _ := strconv.Atoi(s[1])
b, _ := strconv.Atoi(s[2])
product += (a * b)
}
}
fmt.Println(product)
}
Part 2, not so simple. Ended up doing some weird hack with a map to check if the multiplication was enabled or not. Also instead of finding regex groups I had to find the indices, and then interpret what those mean... Not very readable code I'm afraid
Part2
func part2() {
file, _ := os.Open("input.txt")
defer file.Close()
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)
mulRE := regexp.MustCompile(`mul\(([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{1,3})\)`)
doRE := regexp.MustCompile(`do\(\)`)
dontRE := regexp.MustCompile(`don't\(\)`)
product := 0
enabled := true
for scanner.Scan() {
line := scanner.Text()
doIndices := doRE.FindAllStringIndex(line, -1)
dontIndices := dontRE.FindAllStringIndex(line, -1)
mulSubIndices := mulRE.FindAllStringSubmatchIndex(line, -1)
mapIndices := make(map[int]string)
for _, do := range doIndices {
mapIndices[do[0]] = "do"
}
for _, dont := range dontIndices {
mapIndices[dont[0]] = "dont"
}
for _, mul := range mulSubIndices {
mapIndices[mul[0]] = "mul"
}
nextMatch := 0
for i := 0; i < len(line); i++ {
val, ok := mapIndices[i]
if ok && val == "do" {
enabled = true
} else if ok && val == "dont" {
enabled = false
} else if ok && val == "mul" {
if enabled {
match := mulSubIndices[nextMatch]
a, _ := strconv.Atoi(string(line[match[2]:match[3]]))
b, _ := strconv.Atoi(string(line[match[4]:match[5]]))
product += (a * b)
}
nextMatch++
}
}
}
fmt.Println(product)
}
I also used Go - my solution for part 1 was essentially identical to yours. I went a different route for part 2 that I think ended up being simpler though.
I just prepended do()
and don't()
to the original regex with a |
, that way it captured all 3 in order and I just looped through all the matches once and toggled the isEnabled
flag accordingly.
Always interesting to see how other people tackle the same problem!
Part 2 Code
func part2() {
filePath := "input.txt"
file, _ := os.Open(filePath)
defer file.Close()
pattern := regexp.MustCompile(`do\(\)|don't\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)`)
productSum := 0
isEnabled := true
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)
for scanner.Scan() {
line := scanner.Text()
matches := pattern.FindAllStringSubmatch(line, -1)
for _, match := range matches {
if match[0] == "do()" {
isEnabled = true
} else if match[0] == "don't()" {
isEnabled = false
} else if isEnabled && len(match) == 3 {
n, _ := strconv.Atoi(match[1])
m, _ := strconv.Atoi(match[2])
productSum += n * m
}
}
}
fmt.Println("Total: ", productSum)
}
Honestly this is soo much better, I'm not proud of my code at all haha. Thanks for sharing, definitely adding that | to my bag of tricks
Rust
Didn't do anything crazy here -- ended up using regex like a bunch of other folks.

Solution on my github (Made it public now)
Nim
import ../aoc, re, sequtils, strutils, math
proc mulsum*(line:string):int=
let matches = line.findAll(re"mul\([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3}\)")
let pairs = matches.mapIt(it[4..^2].split(',').map(parseInt))
pairs.mapIt(it[0]*it[1]).sum
proc filter*(line:string):int=
var state = true;
var i=0
while i < line.len:
if state:
let off = line.find("don't()", i)
if off == -1:
break
result += line[i..<off].mulsum
i = off+6
state = false
else:
let on = line.find("do()", i)
if on == -1:
break
i = on+4
state = true
if state:
result += line[i..^1].mulsum
proc solve*(input:string): array[2,int] =
#part 1&2
result = [input.mulsum, input.filter]
I had a nicer solution in mind for part 2, but for some reason nre
didn't want to work for me, and re
couldn't give me the start/end or all results, so I ended up doing this skip/toggle approach.
Also initially I was doing it line by line out of habit from other puzzles, but then ofc the don't()
s didn't propagate to the next line.
Rust
Regex made this one pretty straightforward. The second part additionally looks for do()
and don't()
in the same regex, then we do a case distinction on the match.
use regex::{Regex, Captures};
fn mul_cap(cap: Captures) -> i32 {
let a = cap.get(1).unwrap().as_str().parse::<i32>().unwrap();
let b = cap.get(2).unwrap().as_str().parse::<i32>().unwrap();
a * b
}
fn part1(input: String) {
let re = Regex::new(r"mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)").unwrap();
let res = re.captures_iter(&input).map(mul_cap).sum::<i32>();
println!("{res}");
}
fn part2(input: String) {
let re = Regex::new(r"do\(\)|don't\(\)|mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)").unwrap();
let mut enabled = true;
let mut res = 0;
for cap in re.captures_iter(&input) {
match cap.get(0).unwrap().as_str() {
"do()" => enabled = true,
"don't()" => enabled = false,
_ if enabled => res += mul_cap(cap),
_ => {}
}
}
println!("{res}");
}
util::aoc_main!();
Our part1's are basically identical, but for part 2 I just regex deleted everything between don
t() and
do() `, after sanitizing out the newlines.
I guess it would have failed if my test data had a mul after the last dont, but it worked out, so good enough :)

Kotlin
Just the standard Regex stuff. I found this website to be very helpful to write the patterns. (Very useful in general)
fun main() {
fun part1(input: List<String>): Int =
Regex("""mul\(\d+,\d+\)""").findAll(input.joinToString()).sumOf {
with(Regex("""\d+""").findAll(it.value)) { this.first().value.toInt() * this.last().value.toInt() }
}
fun part2(input: List<String>): Int {
var isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = true // by default
return Regex("""mul\(\d+,\d+\)|do\(\)|don't\(\)""").findAll(input.joinToString()).fold(0) { acc, instruction ->
when (instruction.value) {
"do()" -> acc.also { isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = true }
"don't()" -> acc.also { isMultiplyInstructionEnabled = false }
else -> {
if (isMultiplyInstructionEnabled) {
acc + with(Regex("""\d+""").findAll(instruction.value)) { this.first().value.toInt() * this.last().value.toInt() }
} else acc
}
}
}
}
val testInputPart1 = readInput("Day03_test_part1")
val testInputPart2 = readInput("Day03_test_part2")
check(part1(testInputPart1) == 161)
check(part2(testInputPart2) == 48)
val input = readInput("Day03")
part1(input).println()
part2(input).println()
}

Python
def process(input, part2=False):
if part2:
input = re.sub(r'don\'t\(\).+?do\(\)', '', input) # remove everything between don't() and do()
total = [ int(i[0]) * int(i[1]) for i in re.findall(r'mul\((\d+),(\d+)\)', input) ]
return sum(total)
Given the structure of the input file, we just have to ignore everything between don't() and do(), so remove those from the instructions before processing.
Sub was my first instinct too, but I got a bad answer and saw that my input had unbalanced do/don't.
I did wonder if that might be the case, I must have been lucky with my input.
Elixir
First time writing Elixir. It's probably janky af.
I've had some help from AI to get some pointers along the way. I'm not competing in any way, just trying to learn and have fun.
~~Part 2 is currently not working, and I can't figure out why. I'm trying to just remove everything from "don't()" to "do()" and just pass the rest through the working solution for part 1. Should work, right?
Any pointers?~~
edit; working solution:
defmodule Three do
def get_input do
File.read!("./input.txt")
end
def extract_operations(input) do
Regex.scan(~r/mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)/, input)
|> Enum.map(fn [_op, num1, num2] ->
num1 = String.to_integer(num1)
num2 = String.to_integer(num2)
[num1 * num2]
end)
end
def sum_products(ops) do
List.flatten(ops)
|> Enum.filter(fn x -> is_integer(x) end)
|> Enum.sum()
end
def part1 do
extract_operations(get_input())
|> sum_products()
end
def part2 do
String.split(get_input(), ~r/don\'t\(\)[\s\S]*?do\(\)/)
|> Enum.map(&extract_operations/1)
|> sum_products()
end
end
IO.puts("part 1: #{Three.part1()}")
IO.puts("part 2: #{Three.part2()}")
Part 2 is currently not working, and I canβt figure out why. Iβm trying to just remove everything from βdonβt()β to βdo()β and just pass the rest through the working solution for part 1. Should work, right?
I think I had the same issue. Consider what happens if there isn't a do() after a don't().
Ah, yes, that's it. The lazy solution would be to add a "do()" to the end of the input, right? Haha
Python
After a bunch of fiddling yesterday and today I finally managed to arrive at a regex-only solution for part 2. That re.DOTALL

return [(int(m[0]), int(m[1])) for m in p.findall(input) if m[0] and m[1]]
def part_one(input: str) -> int:
pairs = parse_input_one(input)

def part_two(input: str) -> int:
pairs = parse_input_two(input)
return sum(map(lambda v: v[0] * v[1], pairs))
if __name__ == "__main__":
input = Path("input").read_text("utf-8")
print(part_one(input))

Definitely not my prettiest code ever. It would probably look nicer if I used regex or some parsing library, but I took on the self-imposed challenge of not using third party libraries. Also, this is already further than I made it last year!
