Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Well, this one ended up with a surprisingly easy part 2 with how I wrote it.
    Not the most computationally optimal code, but since they’re still cheap enough to run in milliseconds I’m not overly bothered.

    C# 
    class OrderComparer : IComparer<int>
{
  Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering;
  public OrderComparer(Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering) {
    this.ordering = ordering;
  }

  public int Compare(int x, int y)
  {
    if (ordering.ContainsKey(x) && ordering[x].Contains(y))
      return -1;
    return 1;
  }
}

Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering = new Dictionary<int, List<int>>();
int[][] updates = new int[0][];

public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
{
  foreach (var pair in lines.TakeWhile(l => l.Contains('|')).Select(l => l.Split('|').Select(w => int.Parse(w))))
  {
    if (!ordering.ContainsKey(pair.First()))
      ordering[pair.First()] = new List<int>();
    ordering[pair.First()].Add(pair.Last());
  }
  updates = lines.SkipWhile(s => s.Contains('|') || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).Select(l => l.Split(',').Select(w => int.Parse(w)).ToArray()).ToArray();
}

public void Part1()
{
  int correct = 0;
  var comparer = new OrderComparer(ordering);
  foreach (var update in updates)
  {
    var ordered = update.Order(comparer);
    if (update.SequenceEqual(ordered))
      correct += ordered.Skip(ordered.Count() / 2).First();
  }

  Console.WriteLine($"Sum: {correct}");
}
public void Part2()
{
  int incorrect = 0;
  var comparer = new OrderComparer(ordering);
  foreach (var update in updates)
  {
    var ordered = update.Order(comparer);
    if (!update.SequenceEqual(ordered))
      incorrect += ordered.Skip(ordered.Count() / 2).First();
  }

  Console.WriteLine($"Sum: {incorrect}");
}
