My (attempted) solutions to Advent of Code 2020 in Elixir.

Strategy

If this year is like 2018, the last time I did this, each problem will be split into two parts. The second part can result in considerable refactoring of the first part, so I will split each part into its own file, like this:

  • day1/
    • day1part1.exs - solution to part 1
    • day1part2.exs - solution to part 2
    • README - my summary and notes relating to the day's problem
    • input - input file downloaded from Advent of Code (if applicable)

If I get stuck, my instinct is to be persistent and take as long as it takes to solve the problem. However I think this year I don't want the pressure of days piling up and this is supposed to be fun, so I will probably limit each problem to one day, and then come back to those that I had problems with later.

No checking other people's solutions until I've solved it myself - or otherwise given up. If I make any refinements as a result of seeing other people's solutions or reading forums, etc., I will commit them to a separate file to leave the original version in tact.
