Thoughts:
|
||||
|
||||
So far I've read the whole file into memory. I initially did that here to get the answer
|
||||
quickly to preserve my Leaderboard position 🌟, butthen refactored to use File.stream!
|
||||
to parse the file line-by-line.
|
||||
|
||||
This meant using Stream.chunk_by to sort into groups.
|
||||
Join all the answers together, and use Enum.frequencies/1 to count all the answers (discarding
|
||||
newlines).

Thoughts:
|
||||
|
||||
Not stripping the newlines came in handy here, because I could use them to count how
|
||||
many people are in each group. Then I could just count the frequencies that were answered
|
||||
by the whole group, and finally sum those results.

I didn't get an accurate time for this one due to having lunch between parts 1 and 2 🍝.
|
||||
Got the answer under an hour including lunch, but more like two hours including streaming
|
||||
the file and tidying up.
|
||||
|
||||
Using Map.pop/2 to remove an element and return its value at the same time is probably the
|
||||
most notable thing here?
|
||||
|
||||
I wonder if there's a more effective way to parse the stream dynamically and also strip off
|
||||
the new lines?
