# Advent of Code 2023 Solutions

## About Advent of Code

Advent of Code is an annual December event where programmers sharpen their coding skills through a series of daily programming challenges. This repository contains my solutions for the Advent of Code 2023. Each solution is implemented in Go, providing an excellent opportunity to delve into Go's capabilities and features.

## Repository Structure

The repository is organized into separate directories for each day of the challenge, following the naming convention day_xx where xx represents the day number (e.g., day_01, day_02, etc.). Inside each directory, you will find:

- **Solution Files:** The Go source files containing the solutions for the day's challenge.

- **Test Files:** Unit test files for validating the solutions.

- **main.go:** A Go file to run the solution for the day's challenge.

## Getting Started

To get started with these solutions, you need to have Go installed on your machine. Once installed, follow these steps:

### 1. Clone the Repository

First, clone this repository to your local machine using:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/Chippers255/advent-of-code

```

### 2. Navigate to a Challenge Directory

Change into the directory of the day you're interested in:

```bash

cd day_xx

```

### 3. Initialize Go Modules

Initialize a new module (only needed once per day):

```bash

go mod init github.com/chippers255/advent-of-code/day_xx

```

This step creates a new go.mod file in the directory.

### 4. Running Solutions

To run the solution for a particular day, use:

```bash

go run main.go

```

### 5. Building Executables

If you want to compile the program into an executable file, use:

```bash

go build

```

This will create an executable named after the directory in your current folder.

### 6. Running Tests

To run tests and see the coverage, use:

```bash

go test -cover

```

This command will run all tests in the directory and show the percentage of the code covered by these tests.
