Ryan Eaton's Advent of Code 2022

A repository to store my solutions for Advent of Code 2022.

Solutions will be slightly refactored for readability before submission. In other words...

+ Refactor to remove unused code
- No logic changes allowed
- No fixing the stupid or unnecessary checks I wrote

Edit after completion:

It's been a blast! This is my first time ever completing all the puzzles of an Advent of Code year, and it feels great! I grinded on 12/24 before midnight to get all the puzzles I was behind on (due to exams and Christmas activities). Unfortunately, I was not able to complete Day 24 Part 2 in time, so my 50th star was locked out. After completing Day 25 Part 1, I decided to stay up and work on Day 24 Part 2 (which honestly was just waiting for my silly code to finish running 30 minutes later).

I was 2077th to complete Day 25 Part 2 and hence, 2077th to complete all of Advent of Code 2022! (That's 1=2=02th in SNAFU.)
