Advent of Code Solutions
This project consisted in tackling some of the Advent of Code puzzles for year 2023. The Advent of Code is an annual series of programming puzzles that span a variety of computer science concepts, released daily throughout December as a countdown to Christmas.
My Approach to AoC Challenges:
-
Problem Solving with R and Python: I tackled the puzzles using both R and Python, leveraging the strengths of each language to find efficient and creative solutions.
-
In-Depth Explanations: For each challenge, I provide detailed explanations of my thought process, the concepts involved, and the solutions I developed.
-
Code and Visualizations: My solutions include both the raw code and visualizations (where applicable) to illustrate the problem-solving process more clearly.
-
Learning and Sharing: I use AoC as an opportunity to sharpen my programming skills and to share my solutions with others, fostering a community of learning and growth.
-
LLM Guidelines: In alignment with AoC’s guidelines on using Large Language Models (LLMs), I didn’t employ LLMs like ChatGPT or Copilot to solve any of the puzzles.
