This repository contains my solutions to the Advent of Code 2023 and 2024 challenges. Advent of Code is an annual set of Christmas-themed programming puzzles that cover a variety of skill sets and skill levels and can be solved in any programming language you like.

About Advent of Code

Advent of Code is a series of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill levels. They are self-contained and are just as appropriate for an expert who wants to stay sharp as they are for a beginner who is just learning to code. Each puzzle calls upon different skills and has two parts that build on a theme.

The event is created by Eric Wastl and is sponsored by many tech giants in the industry. It's a great way to improve your problem-solving skills and learn new programming concepts.

Repository Structure

This repository is organized as follows:

/
├── 2023/
│   ├── Day01/
│   │   ├── solution.py
│   │   └── input.txt
│   ├── Day02/
│   │   ├── solution.py
│   │   └── input.txt
│   ...
│   └── Day25/
│       ├── solution.py
│       └── input.txt
├── 2024/
│   ├── Day01/
│   │   ├── solution.py
│   │   └── input.txt
│   ├── Day02/
│   │   ├── solution.py
│   │   └── input.txt
│   ...
│   └── Day25/
│       ├── solution.py
│       └── input.txt

Each day's challenge is contained in its own directory, with a solution.py file containing the code and an input.txt file containing the puzzle input.

Running the Solutions

To run a solution for a specific day:

1. Navigate to the day's directory
2. Run the solution script:

python solution.py

Make sure you have Python installed on your system.

Reflections

As I work through these challenges, I'm continually amazed by the creativity and complexity of the puzzles. Each day brings a new opportunity to learn and improve my coding skills. I've particularly enjoyed [you can add specific challenges or concepts you found interesting].
