Goal is to solve as much of Advent of Code 2023 using only a single semicolon anywhere in the code.
Update: As expected the problems got harder and I got busier. In the end I did everything from days 1-9, 11, and part 1 of Day 15. All of my 'normal' code solutions can be found here - https://github.com/rsmith985/AdventOfCode
Requirements:
- Only 1 semicolon
- Runs quickly/efficiently
- Uses only methods built into .NET**
** To keep my sanity (see Day 5 part 2) I have allowed myself to 'add' a method to linq to make some things easier. I think they could be accomplished through other means, but as the days get harder it gets very difficult and I need a shortcut.
Days 1-7 have been solved without the method. After day 8 I'm allowing myself to use it. Added method:
public static IEnumerable<T> Perform<T>(this IEnumerable<T> items, Action<T> action)
{
foreach(var item in items)
action(item);
return items;
}
