AdventOfCodeTemplate

A sample template for Rust solutions to any one year of Advent of Code.

Adapted by Simon Castle from a previous template by Chris Paterson.

How to Use

Set up your Rust environment
Clone this template (git clone https://github.com/CastleQuirm/AdventOfCodeTemplate.git)
Test you can run the code, using the Day 00 example.
- In the terminal, go to the directory you've cloned the repo into (the directory containing this README.md file)
- Run cargo run 0
  - This should show some build output (the first time this is run), followed by
  Day 0
  
  Part 1: 5971
  
  Part 2: 1155077
  
  0.024ms (exact time may vary) ----------
- Run cargo test 00
  - This should show some build output (the first time this is run), followed by
  running 3 tests
  
  test day00::tests::check_day00_both_case1 ... ok
  
  test day00::tests::check_day00_part1_case1 ... ok
  
  test day00::tests::check_day00_part2_case1 ... ok
  
  test result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 75 filtered out; finished in 0.00s
Start implementing solutions!
- Copy and paste your input for the day (e.g. 2020 Day 1's input) into the matching numbered file in the inputs directory
- Implement the solution in the matching numbered dayXX.rs file in src
  - Run the program using cargo run (with the day number to run just that one day, rather than all of 1-25). Add --release to perform a release build for a faster run!
- (Optional) Add examples from the puzzle statement into tests in the same file.
  - Run the tests using cargo test (with the day number to run just the appropriate tests, rather than the tests for every day).
