    Python3

    Solver uses trie just like the other python solve here, I try to not look at solve threads until after it is solved. yet, I somehow got a solve that only takes ~7 ms. previously I would rebuild the trie every time and made it take ~55 ms.

    Code
    from collections import deque
    
    def profiler(method):
        from time import perf_counter_ns
        def wrapper_method(*args: any, **kwargs: any) -> any:
            start_time = perf_counter_ns()
            ret = method(*args, **kwargs)
            stop_time = perf_counter_ns() - start_time
            time_len = min(9, ((len(str(stop_time))-1)//3)*3)
            time_conversion = {9: 'seconds', 6: 'milliseconds', 3: 'microseconds', 0: 'nanoseconds'}
            print(f"Method {method.__name__} took : {stop_time / (10**time_len)} {time_conversion[time_len]}")
            return ret
    
        return wrapper_method

    Python

    Approach: Recursive memoized backtracking with a Trie

    I get to use one of my favorite data structures here, a Trie! It helps us figure out whether a prefix of the design is a valid pattern in linear time.

    I use backtracking to choose potential component patterns (using the Trie), kicking off matching the rest of the design down the stack. We can continue matching longer patterns immediately after the recursion stack unwinds.
    In addition, I use global memoization to keep track of the feasibility (part 1) or the number of combinations (part 2) for designs and sub-designs. This way, work done for earlier designs can help speed up later ones too.

    I ended up combining part 1 and 2 solutions into a single function because part 1 is a simpler variant of part 2 where we count all designs with the number of possible pattern combinations > 0.

    Reading Input
    import os
    
    here = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
    
    # read input
    def read_data(filename: str):
        global here
    
        filepath = os.path.join(here, filename)
        with open(filepath, mode="r", encoding="utf8") as f:
            return f.read()
    
    
    Trie Implementation
    class Trie:
        class TrieNode:
            def __init__(self) -> None:
                self.children = {}  # connections to other TrieNode
                self.end = False  # whether this node indicates an end of a pattern
    
        def __init__(self) -> None:
            self.root = Trie.TrieNode()
    
        def add(self, pattern: str):
            node = self.root
            # add the pattern to the trie, one character at a time
            for color in pattern:
                if color not in node.children:
                    node.children[color] = Trie.TrieNode()

    Haskell

    I had several strategy switches from brute-force to pathfinding (when doing part1 input instead of example) because It simply wouldn’t finish. My solution only found the first path to the design, which is why I rewrote to only count how many towels there are for each prefix I have already built. Do that until there is either only one entry with the total combinations count or no entry and it’s impossible to build the design.

    I like the final solution, its small (unlike my other solutions) and runs fast.

      A better version of arrangements using laziness:

      arrangements :: [String] -> String -> Int
      arrangements atoms molecule = head counts
        where
          counts = zipWith go (tails molecule) (tails counts)
          go [] _ = 1
          go m cs = sum $ map (\a -> if a `isPrefixOf` m then cs !! length a else 0) atoms

      until I tried matching from right to left instead :3

      My intuition nudged me there but I couldn’t reason how that would change things. You still have to test the remaining string, and its remaining string, backtrack, etc right?

        It was just a hunch that the inputs were generated to be difficult to parse using a naive algorithm (ie the towels have a lot of shared prefixes). In general I don’t think there’s any reason to suppose that one direction is better than the other, at least for random inputs.

    Rust

    I figured that Part 2 would want something to do with unique paths, so I tried to generate all paths in Part 1, which took too long. So I then decided to go with dynamic programming. In Part 1, I stored a cache of whether a given state can lead to the solution. In Part 2, I updated it to store how many options are possible from a given state.

    Dart

    Thanks to this useful post for reminding me that dynamic programming exists (and for linking to a source to help me remember how it works as it always makes my head spin :-) I guessed that part 2 would require counting solutions, so that helped too.

    Solves live data in about 40ms.

    import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
    import 'package:more/more.dart';
    
    int countTarget(String target, Set<String> towels) {
      int n = target.length;
      List<int> ret = List.filled(n + 1, 0)..[0] = 1;
    
      for (int e in 1.to(n + 1)) {
        for (int s in 0.to(e)) {
          if (towels.contains(target.substring(s, e))) ret[e] += ret[s];
        }
      }
      return ret[n];
    }
    
    List<int> allCounts(List<String> lines) {
      var towels = lines.first.split(', ').toSet();
      return lines.skip(2).map((p) => countTarget(p, towels)).toList();
    }
    
    part1(List<String> lines) => allCounts(lines).where((e) => e > 0).length;
    part2(List<String> lines) => allCounts(lines).sum;

      Lovely! This is nicer than my memoized recursion. DP remains hard to wrap my head around even though I often apply it by accident.

    Interestingly part 1 already defied a naive approach. It was fun thinking of a way to memoize without hash tables.

    Code
    #include "common.h"
    
    static char *pats[480];
    static int lens[480];
    int np;
    
    /* memoized for 's' by mem[off], 0 = unknown, >0 = value+1 */
    static int64_t
    recur(char *s, int off, int64_t *mem)
    {
    	int64_t acc=0;
    	int i;
    
    	if (!s[off]) return 1;
    	if (mem[off]) return mem[off]-1;
    
    	for (i=0; i<np; i++)
    		if (!strncmp(s+off, pats[i], lens[i]))
    			acc += recur(s, off+lens[i], mem);
    
    	mem[off] = acc+1;
    	return acc;
    }
    
    int
    main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
    	static char patbuf[3200], design[64];
    	int64_t p1=0,p2=0, mem[64], n;
    	char *rest, *lf;
    
    	if (argc > 1)
    		DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));
    
    	rest = fgets(patbuf, sizeof(patbuf), stdin);
    
    	for (; (pats[np] = strsep(&rest, ",")); np++) {
    		while (isspace(pats[np][0]))
    			pats[np]++;	/* skip spaces */
    		if ((lf = strchr(pats[np], '\n')))
    			*lf = '\0';	/* trim trailing \n */
    		lens[np] = strlen(pats[np]);
    		assert(np+1 < (int)LEN(pats));
    	}
    
    	while (scanf(" %63s", design) == 1) {
    		memset(mem, 0, sizeof(mem));
    		n = recur(design, 0, mem);
    		p1 += n >0;

    Part 2 was pretty much the same as Part 2 except we can’t short-circuit when we find the first match. So, implement a cache of each sub-pattern and the number of ways to form it from the towels, and things get much faster.

      I don’t know much about Rust but I assume the HashMap<String, i64> requires hashing on insertion and lookup, right? I realized that, for every design, all the strings you’ll see are substrings of that design from different starting positions, so I made my lookup table int pos -> int count. The table is reset after every design.

        That does mean that if two or more strings end with the same substring, you’d recalculate those substrings? Would be a faster lookup cost though, clever.

        My code ran in 120ms, so its pretty damn fast as is, especially compared to the non-memoised version

        edit: Tried the array of lengths method, shaved about 20ms off. Not bad, but probably not my main issue either

          I hadn’t really considered that, but yes. I’m inclined to think that replacing hash table lookups with plain array indexing (which this allows) outweighs that downside but I’m not sure. Indeed 120ms is pretty damn fast!

            It saved me 20ms, and given your using C, saved you dealing with uthash or similar, so probably worth it.

            The hashmap is probably a more generic solution though

              Certainly more generic and less prone to user error too. Indeed dealing with hash maps or any advanced data structure is a pain with C, this is where generics or templates really shine, especially if you have control over lifetime aspects as you do with C++ or Rust (e.g. moves, lvalue references, constness, etc).

    Rust

    First part is solved by making a regex of the available towels, like ^(r|wr|bg|bwu|rb|gb|br)*$ for the example. If a design matches it, then it can be made. This didn’t work for the second part, which is done using recursion and memoization instead. Again, it was quite surprising to see such a high solution number. 32 bits were not enough (thanks, debug mode overflow detection).

    Solution
    use regex::Regex;
    use rustc_hash::FxHashMap;
    
    fn parse(input: &str) -> (Vec<&str>, Vec<&str>) {
        let (towels, designs) = input.split_once("\n\n").unwrap();
        (towels.split(", ").collect(), designs.lines().collect())
    }
    
    fn part1(input: String) {
        let (towels, designs) = parse(&input);
        let pat = format!("^({})*$", towels.join("|"));
        let re = Regex::new(&pat).unwrap();
        let count = designs.iter().filter(|d| re.is_match(d)).count();
        println!("{count}");
    }
    
    fn n_arrangements<'a>(
        design: &'a str,
        towels: &[&str],
        cache: &mut FxHashMap<&'a str, u64>,
    ) -> u64 {
        if design.is_empty() {
            return 1;
        }
        if let Some(n) = cache.get(design) {
            return *n;
        }
        let n = towels
            .iter()
            .filter(|t| design.starts_with(*t))
            .map(|t| n_arrangements(&design[t.len()..], towels, cache))
            .sum();
        cache.insert(design, n);
        n
    }
    
    fn part2(input: String) {
        let (towels, designs) = parse(&input);
        let sum: u64 = designs
            .iter()
            .map(|d| n_arrangements(d, &towels, &mut FxHashMap::default()))
            .sum();
        println!("{sum}");
    }
    
    util::aoc_main!();

        About 3ms. A manual implementation might be a bit faster, but not by much. The regex crate is quite optimized for pretty much these problems.

          Wow, that is very fast, nice. I was happy with 120ms, seems I’m leaving a lot of performance on the table.

          Edit: Regex cut my total time in half, but I am measuring the whole execution, still a massive improvement.

            The 3ms are for part 1 only, part 2 takes around 27ms. But I see that our approaches there are very similar. One difference that might make an impact is that you copy the substrings for inserting into the hashmap into Strings.

              Removing the string copy with the length->count array from @sjmulder saved me 20ms, so not super significant. I’ll have to play the the profiler and see what I am doing wrong.

              I think your approach looks a lot more Rust-like, which I like. Part 1 in 4 lines is very nice.

    C#

    I had an error in the escape clause of the recursion that stumped me for a bit - wasn’t counting the last towel!

    This might be the first time I have ever had to use a long/ulong in 9 years of C# dev! (corp dev is obviously boring)
