Day 5: If You Give a Seed a Fertilizer


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)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Language: Python

Part 1

The first part wasn't too bad... once I realized you should store the ranges and not actually generate all the numbers o_O.

Seeds = list[int]
Map   = tuple[int, int, int]
Maps  = list[Map]

def read_almanac(stream=sys.stdin) -> tuple[Seeds, list[Map]]:
    seeds: Seeds = [int(seed) for seed in stream.readline().split(':')[-1].split()]
    maps:  Maps  = []

    for line in map(str.strip, stream):
        if line.endswith('map:'):
            maps.append([])
            continue
            
        try:
            dst, src, length = map(int, line.split())
        except ValueError:
            continue
            
        maps[-1].append((dst, src, length))

    return seeds, maps

def locate_seed(seed: int, maps: list[Map]) -> int:
    location = seed
    for amap in maps:
        for dst, src, length in amap:
            if src <= location < src + length:
                location = dst + (location - src)
                break
    return location

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    seeds, maps = read_almanac(stream)
    locations   = [locate_seed(seed, maps) for seed in seeds]
    print(min(locations))

Part 2

This part took me forever, mostly to actually run, but also to fix a few off-by-one errors :|

Fortunately, I was able to re-use most of my code in Part A and just add a new function to search the range of seeds.

Even with concurrent.futures and a 24-core machine, it still took me about 30 - 45 minutes to complete with Python (that said, there were only 10 seed range s in the input, so I could only use 10 cores, and of those 5 of the ranges appeared to be really large, leading to a long tail effect).

def locate_seeds(srange: Range, maps: list[Map]={}) -> int:
    seeds   = range(srange[0], srange[0] + srange[1])
    locator = functools.partial(locate_seed, maps=maps)
    return min(map(locator, seeds))

# Main Execution

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    seeds, maps = read_almanac(stream)
    locator     = functools.partial(locate_seeds, maps=maps)

    with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        locations = executor.map(locator, batched(seeds, 2))

    print(min(locations))
