Day 12: Garden Groups

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

    Ended up oversleeping somewhat, so I did the first part on the way to work using flood fills over a global visited set, and now that work’s over I’ve sat down to expand that solution to do corner counting for part two as well.

    C#
    char[] map = new char[0];
    (int X, int Y) size = (0, 0);
    
    public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
    {
      map = string.Concat(lines).ToCharArray();
      size = (lines.First().Length, lines.Count());
    }
    
    Dictionary<HashSet<(int,int)>,int> areas = new Dictionary<HashSet<(int,int)>,int>();
    public void PreCalc()
    {
      HashSet<(int, int)> visited = new HashSet<(int, int)>();
      for (int y = 0; y < size.Y; ++y)
        for (int x = 0; x < size.X; ++x)
        {
          var at = (x, y);
          if (visited.Contains(at))
            continue;
    
          var area = Flood((x, y), visited);
          areas[area.Area] = area.Perim;
        }
    }
    
    public void Part1()
    {
      int sum = areas.Select(kv => kv.Key.Count * kv.Value).Sum();
    
      Console.WriteLine($"Fencing total: {sum}");
    }
    public void Part2()
    {
      int sum = areas.Select(kv => kv.Key.Count * countCorners(kv.Key)).Sum();
    
      Console.WriteLine($"Fencing total: {sum}");
    }
    
    readonly (int dX, int dY)[] links = new[] { (1, 0), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (0, -1) };
    (HashSet<(int,int)> Area, int Perim) Flood((int X, int Y) from, HashSet<(int X, int Y)> visited)
    {
      char at = map[from.Y * size.X + from.X];
    
      (HashSet<(int,int)> Area, int Perim) ret = (new HashSet<(int,int)>(), 0);
      visited.Add(from);
      ret.Area.Add(from);
    
      foreach (var link in links)
      {
        (int X, int Y) newAt = (from.X + link.dX, from.Y + link.dY);
        char offset ;
        if (newAt.X < 0 || newAt.X >= size.X || newAt.Y < 0 || newAt.Y >= size.Y)
          offset = '\0';
        else
          offset = map[newAt.Y * size.X + newAt.X];
    
        if (offset == at)
        {
          if (visited.Contains(newAt))
            continue;
    
          var nextArea = Flood(newAt, visited);
          ret.Area.UnionWith(nextArea.Area);
          ret.Perim += nextArea.Perim;
        }
        else
        {
          ret.Perim += 1;
        }
      }
    
      return ret;
    }
    
    readonly (int dX, int dY)[] cornerPoints = new[] { (0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1) };

    int countCorners(HashSet<(int X, int Y)> points)
    {
      int corners = 0;
      var bounds = findBounds(points);
      for (int y = bounds.minY - 1; y < bounds.maxY + 1; ++y)

        {
          var atPoint = cornerPoints.Select(c => points.Contains((x + c.dX, y + c.dY)));
          var before = corners;
          if (atPoint.Where(c => c).Count() % 2 == 1)
            corners++;
          else if (diagonalValues.Contains(atPoint.Select((c, i) => c ? (2 << i) : 0).Sum()))
            corners += 2;
        }
    
      return corners;
    }
