MUG Meeting: May 14, 2024

Next Meeting – Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, 6:30pm EST.

Code from the meeting

This month, we’re going to do something different and fun.

There’s a programming website called Advent of Code: https://adventofcode.com.

It’s an Advent calendar of 25 small programming puzzles for a variety of skill
sets and levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.

You can see the first puzzle at https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/1.

We’ve rustled up a few volunteers to show us how they solved it in the following languages:

  • Javascript – Justin Triplett
  • Perl – Jim McQuillan
  • Python – Wolf
  • Rust – Justin Triplett
  • Swift – Dave Satwicz

We should be able to get through each language in 10-15 minutes. Hopefully that’ll

allow enough time to explain how the solution works.

If you’d like to volunteer, join us at the meeting show us how you’ve solved the
puzzle using your favorite language.
