Advent of Code 2024

It’s that time of the year again! 🎄

This year, I’ll be using C++ as my main language. I will NOT be logging my solutions here; instead, I’ll use this page as a log for the lessons learned and challenges faced each day.

In the next section, you’ll find a list of all the days of the Advent Calendar.

📆 Advent Calendar 2024

tip

That is still a work in progress!

Day 01: Historian Hysteria

The first day is usually very easy, which makes it a perfect way to start the challenge, because it gives you a sense of accomplishment. It is usually straight forward and doesn’t require much thinking. It was a pleasant experience, but not much learning.

Day 02: Red-Nosed Reports

The challenge itself was easy. But I’ve learned more about some C++ syntax, in particular, one that I like a lot:

auto my_function() -> int;

It reads way more natural to me than the traditional way:

int my_function();

Day 03: The Great Escape
