MB’s Advent of Code tips

  • Complex numbers are a nice way of modeling two-dimensional positions.

  • Use lists whenever feasible, because there are many useful list functions in the Racket library that don’t have vector equivalents.

  • In particular, these list functions are very useful.

  • The graph library can be useful for graph-based problems.

My solutions

  • I try to write solutions that are succinct but not cryptic.

  • I don’t optimize for speed.

  • I like doing the Advent of Code problems because it forces me to use parts of Racket that I don’t ordinarily use. So I treat it as a chance to expand my awareness of the Racketverse.
