Welcome to my respository of Advent of Code solutions. I started doing this in 2020 and have done all my solutions in c++. No, I've never made it on the global leaderboard and likely never will.
Advent of Code is a yearly event organized by Eric Wastl in which a new two-part coding challenge is released at midnight EST every day for the first 25 days of December. The goal is to write a computer program (in any language) to solve both parts as quickly as possible.
The Advent of Code site can be found at https://adventofcode.com/
This repository is split by year, day, and part. Each year contains a folder for each day, and each day contains a txt file with my input for that day (input.txt) and a C++ file for each part (part1.cpp and part2.cpp). Each code file includes comments explaining each part of the code and my general thoughts on that part, including my strategy for any particularly complex parts.
2020 was my first year participating in AoC, and is likely to be the only one I could be even remotely competitive for. I never made the global leaderboard, but had a pretty good showing on the private leaderboard I had with some peopel I knew online.
