This is the source code for my advent of code 2021 using objectscript classes.

AdventOfCode

From Advent Of Code:
Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git,
and if you wish to run inside a docker then make sure you also have Docker desktop installed,
or if you want to install using zpm then make sure you have ObjectScript Package Manager installed in your IRIS server.

Installation with zpm

in the namespace prompt:

zpm

inside zpm shell:

install aoc-2021-uvg

Installation inside a docker

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/uvg/AdventOfCode2021Uvg.git

Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build

3. Run the IRIS container with your project:

$ docker-compose up -d

How to Test it

Put all your input data into files in a specific folder, and set the Folder parameter inside Class AOC2021.Base

Open IRIS terminal. For docker:

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris

And enter the following command to run the first day both parts:

USER>do ##class(AOC2021.Day01).Run()

• Extended Run parameters: do ##class(AOC2021.Day01).Run(verbose,part) with
  verbose = 1 ; will display some messages, Otherwise will just print the answer
  part = 1,2 ; run only first or second part of example, empty/0 will run both parts

; to run all exercises use
for day=0:1:25 set zday=day set:zday<10 zday=0_day do $classmethod("AOC2021.Day"_zday,"Run")
; to run all exercises while printing message use
for day=0:1:25 set zday=day set:zday<10 zday=0_day do $classmethod("AOC2021.Day"_zday,"Run",1)
; to run all exercises part 1 use
for day=0:1:25 set zday=day set:zday<10 zday=0_day do $classmethod("AOC2021.Day"_zday,"Run",,1)
; to run all exercises part 2 use
for day=0:1:25 set zday=day set:zday<10 zday=0_day do $classmethod("AOC2021.Day"_zday,"Run",,2)

How to start coding

The script in Installer.cls will import everything you place under /src into IRIS.

What’s inside the repository

Dockerfile

The simplest dockerfile which starts IRIS and imports code from /src folder into it.
Use the related docker-compose.yml to easily setup additional parametes like port number and where you map keys and host folders.
