# :gift::christmas_tree: Advent of Code 2024 :christmas_tree::sparkles:

These are my solutions to this year's [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/2024/).

Solutions make use of `cargo-aoc` code helper ([here](https://github.com/gobanos/cargo-aoc)).

## Solutions

All solutions linked below:

## Notes

1. Day 01 part 2 was improved, initially giving a result of 69.69µs

2. Two solutions for day 2 - one arithmetic, and another using a state machine. Both are comparable.

3. Regex was an obvious goto for this, but I really detest using it

4. Some hits for day part 1 were palindromes, and part 2 required only diagonal crosses

5. I had quite a few false positives for day 5 part 2 when trying `easier' solutions

6. Day 6 part 1 was fairly straightforward, but part 2 kept encountering false positives from 8 attempted solutions.
