Well I made a start at AoC 2019 in January to learn some new skills for work and to occupy slow spots at work. Got halfway through Day 3 and stalled somewhat - mostly due to work getting busy.
Well given the current lockdown and the fact I can't do much of my job from home I started again from scratch. I'm up to Day 5 now and plodding away. I don't really know how to program so it's a lot of Googling and head scratching. I'm pretty sure in days 1 - 3 I made exactly the same mistakes as I managed the first time round
I'm also fairly sure that some of what I'm doing is completely the opposite of best practise but there we go. Definitely doing something wrong as each run of my day 3 solution with the full input takes well over an hour to chug through.
Currently programming in C++ via Visual Studio Community 2019.
