Day 10: Hoof It

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Rust

    Definitely a nice and easy one, I accidentally solved part 2 first, because I skimmed the challenge and missed the unique part.

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod tests {
    
        const DIR_ORDER: [(i8, i8); 4] = [(-1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (0, -1)];
    
        fn walk_trail(board: &Vec<Vec<i8>>, level: i8, i: i8, j: i8) -> Vec<(i8, i8)> {
            let mut paths = vec![];
            if i < 0 || j < 0 {
                return paths;
            }
            let actual_level = match board.get(i as usize) {
                None => return paths,
                Some(line) => match line.get(j as usize) {
                    None => return paths,
                    Some(c) => c,
                },
            };
            if *actual_level != level {
                return paths;
            }
            if *actual_level == 9 {
                return vec![(i, j)];
            }
    
            for dir in DIR_ORDER.iter() {
                paths.extend(walk_trail(board, level + 1, i + dir.0, j + dir.1));
            }
            paths
        }
    
        fn count_unique(p0: &Vec<(i8, i8)>) -> u32 {
            let mut dedup = vec![];
            for p in p0.iter() {
                if !dedup.contains(p) {
                    dedup.push(*p);
                }
            }
            dedup.len() as u32
        }
