Solutions to challenges from Advent of Code done in Rust.
All solutions are written by @dashaw92 in Rust
The main goal of doing these problems for me is to practice my Rust skills obviously. However
another side goal is that all solutions use as little 3rd party code as possible. I prefer
implementing the solutions myself whenever possible. There are exceptions to this of course,
where I feel that the external dependency I include doesn't take away from solving the puzzle.
For example, implementing md5, unless the problem specifically implements this hashing method,
isn't particularly interesting in terms of solving these puzzles, so using the md5 crate would
be fine. On the other hand, including itertools for the permutations implementation would be
cheating, because if I'm using that method on iters, the problem almost certainly pertains to
implementing that myself. :)
As per Eric Wastl's wishes, input files are not tracked (there are some exceptions where I wrote the solution prior to finding this wish.)
Thank you Eric!
