===================
|

|
||
December 2nd
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
For each row, determine the difference between the largest value and the
|
||
smallest value; the checksum is the sum of all of these differences.
|
||
|
||
For example, given the following spreadsheet:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
5 1 9 5
|
||
7 5 3
|
||
2 4 6 8
|
||
|
||
- The first row’s largest and smallest values are 9 and 1, and their
|
||
difference is 8.
|
||
- The second row’s largest and smallest values are 7 and 3, and their
|
||
difference is 4.
|
||
- The third row’s difference is 6.
|
||
|
||
In this example, the spreadsheet’s checksum would be 8 + 4 + 6 = 18.
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
from notebook_preamble import J, V, define
|
||
|
||
I’ll assume the input is a Joy sequence of sequences of integers.
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
[[5 1 9 5]
|
||
[7 5 3]
|
||
[2 4 6 8]]
|
||
|
||
So, obviously, the initial form will be a ``step`` function:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
AoC2017.2 == 0 swap [F +] step
|
||
|
||
This function ``F`` must get the ``max`` and ``min`` of a row of numbers
|
||
and subtract. We can define a helper function ``maxmin`` which does
|
||
this:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('maxmin == [max] [min] cleave')
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
J('[1 2 3] maxmin')
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. parsed-literal::
|
||
|
||
3 1
|
||
|
||
|
||
Then ``F`` just does that then subtracts the min from the max:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
F == maxmin -
|
||
|
||
So:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('AoC2017.2 == [maxmin - +] step_zero')
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
J('''
|
||
|
||
[[5 1 9 5]
|
||
[7 5 3]
|
||
[2 4 6 8]] AoC2017.2
|
||
|
||
''')
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. parsed-literal::
|
||
|
||
18
|
||
|
||
|
||
…find the only two numbers in each row where one evenly divides the
|
||
other - that is, where the result of the division operation is a whole
|
||
number. They would like you to find those numbers on each line, divide
|
||
them, and add up each line’s result.
|
||
|
||
For example, given the following spreadsheet:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
5 9 2 8
|
||
9 4 7 3
|
||
3 8 6 5
|
||
|
||
- In the first row, the only two numbers that evenly divide are 8 and
|
||
2; the result of this division is 4.
|
||
- In the second row, the two numbers are 9 and 3; the result is 3.
|
||
- In the third row, the result is 2.
|
||
|
||
In this example, the sum of the results would be 4 + 3 + 2 = 9.
|
||
|
||
What is the sum of each row’s result in your puzzle input?
|
||
|
||

||
Tricky
|
||
------
|
||
|
||
Let’s think.
|
||
|
||
Given a *sorted* sequence (from highest to lowest) we want to \* for
|
||
head, tail in sequence \* for term in tail: \* check if the head % term
|
||
== 0 \* if so compute head / term and terminate loop \* else continue
|
||
|
||
So we want a ``loop`` I think
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
[a b c d] True [Q] loop
|
||
[a b c d] Q [Q] loop
|
||
|
||
``Q`` should either leave the result and False, or the ``rest`` and
|
||
True.
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
[a b c d] Q
|
||
-----------------
|
||
result 0
|
||
|
||
[a b c d] Q
|
||
-----------------
|
||
[b c d] 1
|
||
|
||
This suggests that ``Q`` should start with:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
[a b c d] uncons dup roll<
|
||
[b c d] [b c d] a
|
||
|
||
Now we just have to ``pop`` it if we don’t need it.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
[b c d] [b c d] a [P] [T] [cons] app2 popdd [E] primrec

I finally sat down with a piece of paper and blocked it out.
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
First, I made a function ``G`` that expects a number and a sequence of
|
||
candidates and return the result or zero:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
n [...] G
|
||
---------------
|
||
result
|
||
|
||
n [...] G
|
||
---------------
|
||
0
|
||
|
||
It’s a recursive function that conditionally executes the recursive part
|
||
of its recursive branch
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
[Pg] [E] [R1 [Pi] [T]] [ifte] genrec
|
||
|
||
The recursive branch is the else-part of the inner ``ifte``:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
G == [Pg] [E] [R1 [Pi] [T]] [ifte] genrec
|
||
== [Pg] [E] [R1 [Pi] [T] [G] ifte] ifte
|
||
|
||
But this is in hindsight. Going forward I derived:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
G == [first % not]
|
||
[first /]
|
||
[rest [not] [popop 0]]
|
||
[ifte] genrec
|
||
|
||
The predicate detects if the ``n`` can be evenly divided by the
|
||
``first`` item in the list. If so, the then-part returns the result.
|
||
Otherwise, we have:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
n [m ...] rest [not] [popop 0] [G] ifte
|
||
n [...] [not] [popop 0] [G] ifte
|
||
|
||
This ``ifte`` guards against empty sequences and returns zero in that
|
||
case, otherwise it executes ``G``.
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('G == [first % not] [first /] [rest [not] [popop 0]] [ifte] genrec')
|
||
|
||
Now we need a word that uses ``G`` on each (head, tail) pair of a
|
||
sequence until it finds a (non-zero) result. It’s going to be designed
|
||
to work on a stack that has some candidate ``n``, a sequence of possible
|
||
divisors, and a result that is zero to signal to continue (a non-zero
|
||
value implies that it is the discovered result):
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
n [...] p find-result
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
result
|
||
|
||
It applies ``G`` using ``nullary`` because if it fails with one
|
||
candidate it needs the list to get the next one (the list is otherwise
|
||
consumed by ``G``.)
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
find-result == [0 >] [roll> popop] [roll< popop uncons [G] nullary] primrec
|
||
|
||
n [...] p [0 >] [roll> popop] [roll< popop uncons [G] nullary] primrec
|
||
|
||
The base-case is trivial, return the (non-zero) result. The recursive
|
||
branch…
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
n [...] p roll< popop uncons [G] nullary find-result
|
||
[...] p n popop uncons [G] nullary find-result
|
||
[...] uncons [G] nullary find-result
|
||
m [..] [G] nullary find-result
|
||
m [..] p find-result
|
||
|
||
The puzzle states that the input is well-formed, meaning that we can
|
||
expect a result before the row sequence empties and so do not need to
|
||
guard the ``uncons``.
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('find-result == [0 >] [roll> popop] [roll< popop uncons [G] nullary] primrec')
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
J('[11 9 8 7 3 2] 0 tuck find-result')
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. parsed-literal::
|
||
|
||
3.0
|
||
|
||
|
||
In order to get the thing started, we need to ``sort`` the list in
|
||
descending order, then prime the ``find-result`` function with a dummy
|
||
candidate value and zero (“continue”) flag.
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('prep-row == sort reverse 0 tuck')
|
||
|
||
Now we can define our program.
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('AoC20017.2.extra == [prep-row find-result +] step_zero')
