Idk to me it seems like rust is trying to be the c++ clone with where it's going at this rate. They are both taking inspiration from each other though.
I think the "two-pass" solution is actually more efficient, since you can break as soon as you hit the first and last numbers. Whereas the other solution has to go through the entire string every time.
I thought the same thing. And considering that there is at least one number on each string, the two pass solution would in the worst case scenario read 1 more character then the one-pass solution, so it would be O(n+1) in the worst case scenario, not O(2n). And as you said, it would most times be more efficient than the single pass solution if there are two digits or more
It would be more efficient if you knew the size of each string beforehand. If you were to implement it in C, you would have to first calculate the size of the string (that's one pass) so you don't access invalid memory, and then do the "two-pass" solution. Doing the "one-pass" solution, you wouldn't need to know the size of the string.
It's actually not ( i think ), and the reason is that the 2-pass solution actually has 3 passes, of which one is done by std::getline(). If you use getchar instead you can do (the first part) in that same pass you find the newline in, and without allocating any memory too. The second part you can also do in that same pass, but i'm not sure of the effect that has on performance: ( this solution is untested. It merges strcmp's internal loop into the getchar loop, eliminating a lot of duplicate comparisons, but as a result it will fail if a number string overlaps with itself. fortunately that can't happen for 0-9 in English ) uint indices[sizeof numbers] = {0} for c in input: (EOF/null/newline check) (check against literal number) for i in 0 to sizeof(numbers)-1 if !numbers[i][indices[i]] handle match if numbers[i][indices[i]] == c indices[i]++ continue indices[i] = 0
The one pass is always O(n) with n being the length of the string. While the 2 sided is at MOST O(n), but likely less as you can early stop once you encountered a digit.
You don't need to close the file because the destructor closes it. Some programming languages that I would love to see on the wheel of (mis)fortune: - Java: because it's very popular, i was surprised it wasn't on the wheel at the start - Lua: because it's used for multiple video games - Smalltalk: this was the language they used at my university when we started learnong OOP, sounds fun for a challenge - Pascal: first language i saw at university, probably torture at this point - Scratch: it has colours.
you don't need to close the file at the end of the program cause the OS will do that for you, along with any other resources used by your program will be freed as well
"good programmers close your files". Good programming languages, like C++, close your files for you so you don't have to remember to do it manually. Also good programming languages have standard libraries that find the first number and last number in a string like C++'s std::find_if. std::atoi does exist in C++ in the header, so you could have used it since you were basically writing C with fstreams anyway. This was fun to watch, I'm looking forward to Zig.
Nitty picky detail: Should O(n) and O(2n) not be the same? Afaik there is a scalar in the definition of Landau big-O that captures any positive scalar, as the only requirement is that it is real and positive. I think the correct terminology would be scales like n, scales like 2n.
I did earlier aoc today (day 1) in c and I came up with a solution that was just a translation of what you did (at least I think so). It's always fascinating how on these easier problems a lot of solution end up looking and working similarly !
Seeing you, a C dev, throw around -1 in uint32s caused irreparable emotional damage😢 Since halloween is already over probably better to compile with -Wall
I’m quite curious about your thoughts on Swift, that’s why I was a little bit saddened by not seeing Swift on the wheel. 😅 People tend to overlook Swift because of misconceptions like it’s only Apple platforms etc etc. Basically if you like the philosophy of Rust, Swift maybe for you. Swift was created by Chris Lattner and he along with few other brilliant minds laid pretty impressive foundations for the language, compiler and philosophy
FYI, in C++20 introduced std::format which is inspired by libfmt. It formats the string the same way as libfmt does and then you use cout/printf to output it. EDIT: And in C++23 we get std::print which equivalent to libfmt's print!!! Hooray.
@@sledgex9 Ik, However, if u need to compile it for old platform (debian buster as example), you better go with additional 3rd party dependency, that trying to use c++20. Btw, it is not inspired, but it is actually proposed by the author of libfmt to add it to the standard library.
Bro literally said C++ is trying to be a rust clone, As the proposal of type traits in C++ was made in 2004 and the concept of owner ship(smart pointers) was made in 1990s, when rust is not even a thing💀
It is funny, that you use an uint32_t to store -1 aka 0xFFFFFFFF since it unsigned, than you compare it to an int literal of -1, you are really lucky, that the underlying bytes are exactly the same, since no real conversion happens, but the result just happens to be correct xD
This was fun to watch! Some folks have mentioned grabbing the last digit by iterating backwards, but I don't think that would work if you had a line ending in, say, "oneight." Single pass is just easier and more reliable. I can tell you're not the most comfortable writing C++, but I appreciate that you stuck it out and made it work. Hopefully you enjoy the next language you land on! 😂
As someone who implemented a backwards lookup, it does work. My testing function for both forward & backward took a char*. If it was a digit, it returned the int value of that digit and I stopped iterating. If it wasn't a digit, I compared the substring starting at that char*, returning an integer based on which string it matched if any. I stopped iterating as soon as I found an answer, so as soon as the char* walked backwards to the `e` in eight, I stopped looking backwards, and the fact that the `one` was also part of it didn't matter. Same with forward iterator: as soon as it saw `one`, it stopped looking
6:37 Yes, iostreams aren't nice to use (or rather the opposite). But at least use _std::format_ for formatting (C++20 needed). If compilers would have implemented it already, you could do _std::print("x = {} ", x);_ instead of _std::cout
Might as well do a pass from either end. Still n and not 2n since in the worst case the number is in the middle and has to approach it from both ends (assuming you break once you find it). It will actually be faster since if they are different numbers you didn't need to iterate over the whole line.
I was thinking that going just one "pass" from left to right would _always_ be n operations, while going from left to right to find first number, then right to left to find last number would be n _or less,_ since if the numbers are at the first and last index you avoid dealing with the rest of the input. So the average case for "two passes" would be n/2 instead of the average of one pass that is n.
I teach c++ and completely agree. cout/cin drives me nuts. There are just lots of weird and unintuitive things that obfuscate what the code is really doing, and the lack of safety always makes the pointer section fun to teach. I hope we move to rust or golang soon. Anyway, good work! Excited for this series. I'm learning game development so I'm doing this year's AOC in Godot. I'm already having regrets 😂
@@assyyn4139 Yup cout is safer than printf. I have no idea what is obfuscated by cout that isn't obfuscated by printf, other than the fact that you don't dangerously use the wrong type specifier anymore. However I think the C++ teacher above is refering to pointer safety. Perhaps they are not teaching their students to use smart pointers over raw owning pointers.
iostream is a pain to use (cin/cout), but it does one C++ thing - it is generic. You can change the type and it will work, there is no need to change the format string.
C++ finally got its own `std::print()` and `std::println()` functions in C++23 and are based on {fmt}. Also, you not using the standard algorithms hurts me as a C++ dev. In part 1 you could've use `std::accumulate()` and put your (inner for) loop logic in a lambda (probably a named one to make it easier to read) saving values in a `std::pair`. This would return the pair at the end which can be destructured to more easily do the sum calculation.
i was doing this with the exact same approach as you but in c, but was getting an answer too big and I could not figure it out. I finally caved and watch this video and then at 10:23 when you mentioned atoi i realised i had been adding the ascii values and not the integer values.
Nicely done. I liked your solution for the two star. I don’t dislike C++ but I’m with you. C is the GOAT. I hope you do a challenge in ZIG. I’m curious about it but have been too lazy to try it yet. Also if you fail on a challenge, I’ll vote for you to do your solution in Java 😈😈😈 Brainfuck, white space or chicken lang would be fun as well
Zig is cool, you can embed the input file at compile time so a lot of the input processing is done before you even run. Not sure how flexible the standard library is though.
I always love dreaming of the python solution that takes 3 lines and then coming back to reality where im writing a 100 line program in c++ to solve the same problem
You could have had gTable be a string array, and returned i + 1 in the match function. The index of the string in the array corresponds to the contents of the string! :)
I think you will be of good if chat decides just sometime like VB and such. It’s the internet, you will end up with more and more esoteric programming language.
I watched a video yesterday that had me deciding to do AoC this year, and then as I'm catching up on my subs feed I see you doing it too. You make me feel so much better about the off by one error I had that stumped me for half an hour as I did part two. I ended up going with C because it's my favorite language, but I used a trie for the second part with the reversed strings of the numbers to do the last numbers backwards. Your attempts at doing C++ are funny, but I hope that wasn't a genuine struggle. Also, K&R bracing is disgusting, consider Allman next time.
Please consider explaining the logic behind your code. I saw your video after finishing the puzzle myself and couldnt for the life of me figure out what you did
The one pass approach smells like premature optimization and putting too much weight on O-notation. Searching from the left AND right will both abort when they find a digit, so they are sure to never look at more than N elements (in case there is only one digit). Otherwise depending on how close to the edge the digits are, they might both abort much sooner. Of course we could then start worrying about how bad a reverse search is for the cache and other low level considerations. But purely on an "algorithmic" level, the one pass approach is always worse and equal at best.
"something a little more spicy - maybe it's COBOL, maybe brainf*ck, maybe elixir..." Uh... what's so spicy about elixir? (having this time chosen to learn elixir through aoc...)
For part 1, wouldn't the 2 pass be slightly more efficient in some cases..? if you consider the line 1aaaaa: you'd get to 1 in 1 unit of time when you work backwards you'd get to 1 in 5 units of time. the total time in O(n) = 6 (worst case) best case is e.g. 1aaaaa2 you'd get to 1 from the front in 1 unit and 2 from the back in 1 unit so it's much quicker. with 1 pass you'd always have to check all n elements, so wouldn't it be slower..?
I thought the same thing. My idea was to do it in one pass at first, but then when you mentioned walking forward and back I realized it would be faster.
In 2 passes, the worst case would be only one digit in the string -> walking from the front takes you d characters, walking from the right takes you N-d + 1 characters -> worst case, you walk the whole line only once in total. I don't think there were lines without digits (those would be 2N, but who cares anyways). In the end, who cares, because it's still linear, as is the reading of the input.

woah you really don't know much of C++! (I am writing this in a friendly manner). Typing the struct as a typedef made me chuckle.
he actually meowed for us
Very cool! I hope you'll be able to do all days!
P2 was brutal for this one
For part 1, wouldn't the 2 pass be slightly more efficient in some cases..?
if you consider the line 1aaaaa:
you'd get to 1 in 1 unit of time
when you work backwards you'd get to 1 in 5 units of time.
the total time in O(n) = 6 (worst case)
best case is e.g. 1aaaaa2
you'd get to 1 from the front in 1 unit and 2 from the back in 1 unit so it's much quicker.
with 1 pass you'd always have to check all n elements, so wouldn't it be slower..?
thats actually fivehead.
I thought the same thing. My idea was to do it in one pass at first, but then when you mentioned walking forward and back I realized it would be faster.
In 2 passes, the worst case would be only one digit in the string -> walking from the front takes you d characters, walking from the right takes you N-d + 1 characters -> worst case, you walk the whole line only once in total. I don't think there were lines without digits (those would be 2N, but who cares anyways). In the end, who cares, because it's still linear, as is the reading of the input.
We need Assembler on the wheel
Did I hear functional programming on day 24? Jelly, bqn, apl, ... have fun :)
btw you can also write value = c-'0'. No need to know ASCII.
I can't wait for the fortran one
VALID C IS VALID C++*!!
*minus the areas where interoperability is not complete
Xcode X-STEP MACHINA LANG U A G E
Hey!
I want I want I want...
FORTRAN, Pascal, Logo, Assembly, Csound, Cobol, BrainF...[let's keep it a family show], Reascript, Bash, Cyclone [no idea what it is but any language that's a weather menace sounds cool], Matlab, Applescript, Ruby, Supercollider.
I know for a fact the first language Chat is going to pick will be brainf*ck
LOLCODE sounds like a good one to add to the wheel. 😜
The "sixteen" is so troll 😂
That one man who will put brainfuck on the board:
I really hope someone puts ATS and / or lean on the wheel :D
If this man calls himself a beginner I have never written a line of code in my life
I can't wait to suggest Verilog.
bro Im doing AoC with a little delay and watching along with you, prime, and bash.........coconut oil doesn't even begin to describe how blazingly fast I'm learning at this low of a level!!!
Add haskell to the list
Are the inputs different for everyone? I got a different answer and passed the test.
yup!
uint = -1. 5head play
Love the idea - put Perl on there. You won’t. 👀💯💯
You know all the languajes of the roullete? That's amazing :0
lol i dont thats the problem
@@LowLevelTVOhhhh, that makes sense LMAO
Day one of waiting for the chat to put INTERCAL on the wheel.
We need Common Lisp on the wheel
..or scheme at least. guy steele knew what he was doing.
I had a different answer but still got the correct answer. Is that typical?
