Get started

In the following section, I'll show you how to set up and run the environment for the challenges.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Go >= 1.21.4 installed.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/wlchs/aoc23

Test the solutions

Before submitting a solution, you can test the algorithms with the template input. Navigate to the day you want to check and run the following command:

go test

Alternatively, you can also run the command from the project root.

go test ./days/day_xx/

Compile and run

You can compile code and run with the actual input if all the tests pass. For this, first, run this command:

go build .

To run the solution, you need to provide a few extra arguments.

• the --day flag must be set to specify which day's solution should run
• the --input flag specifies the path of the file containing the actual input
• optionally, you can add the --mode flag to run one part of the daily challenge, accepted values are 1 and 2

And now the complete command:

./advent_of_code_go_template --day x --input path_to_input --mode 1
# or
go run . --day x --input path_to_input --mode 1
