Advent of Code is Back

Christmas Tree

Just finished the Day 1 puzzle to Advent of Code for 2019. And as expected, it was funny, and fun to do. I've been playing with the LeetCode examples - just to stay sharp, and one of the things that Advent of Code provides that LeetCode doesn't is the data files. Sure, I get it... they test after you write the code, but if, like me, you don't choose one of their languages, then you're really out of luck.

Still... I'll keep doing these as long as the authors make them, because they are fun and keep my mind sharp. I am very grateful for these folks... 🙂

UPDATE: some days are going well - others are computationally very hard, and I clearly need to figure out how to solve those. I won't get them all in the first go, but I'll keep at it... 🙂
