Advent of Code 2022

This book documents solutions to the Advent of Code 2022 programming puzzles implemented in Rust.

About Advent of Code

Advent of Code is an annual set of Christmas-themed programming puzzles created by Eric Wastl. Each year, starting on December 1st, a new programming puzzle is released every day until December 25th. These puzzles can be solved in any programming language and cover a wide range of algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques.

Project Structure

This project contains solutions for Advent of Code 2022 implemented in Rust. Each day's puzzle has its own binary in the src/bin directory with a corresponding input file. This book provides explanations, walkthroughs, and code snippets for each solution.

How to Use This Book

You can navigate through the solutions using the sidebar. Each day's solution is organized into:

  • Problem Description: A summary of the day's challenge
  • Solution Explanation: A detailed walkthrough of the approach used
  • Code: The complete implementation with comments

Running the Solutions

To run any day's solution, use Cargo with the appropriate bin target. For example:

# Run Day 1's solution
cargo run --bin day1

You can also compile and run in release mode for better performance:

cargo run --release --bin day1
