Python 3

I had some trouble getting Part 2 to work, until I realized that there could be overlap ( blbleightwoqsqs -> 82).

import re

    result_sum = 0
    with open("inputs/day_01", "r", encoding="utf_8") as input_file:
        for line in input_file:
            number_list = [char for char in line if char.isnumeric()]
            number = int(number_list[0] + number_list[-1])
            result_sum += number
    return result_sum

def puzzle_two():
    regex = r"(?=(zero|one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))"
    number_dict = {
        "zero": "0",

            ]
            number = int(number_list[0] + number_list[-1])

Part 1 Part 2

Fun with iterators! For the second part I went to regex for help.

A new C solution: without lookahead or backtracking! I keep a running tally of how many letters of each digit word were matched so far: https://github.com/sjmulder/aoc/blob/master/2023/c/day01.c

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	static const char names[][8] = {"zero", "one", "two", "three",
	    "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};
	int p1=0, p2=0, i,c;
	int p1_first = -1, p1_last = -1;
	int p2_first = -1, p2_last = -1;
	int nmatched[10] = {0};
	
	while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
		if (c == '\n') {
			p1 += p1_first*10 + p1_last;
			p2 += p2_first*10 + p2_last;
			p1_first = p1_last = p2_first = p2_last = -1;
			memset(nmatched, 0, sizeof(nmatched));
		} else if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') {
			if (p1_first == -1) p1_first = c-'0';
			if (p2_first == -1) p2_first = c-'0';
			p1_last = p2_last = c-'0';
			memset(nmatched, 0, sizeof(nmatched));
		} else for (i=0; i<10; i++)
			/* advance or reset no. matched digit chars */
			if (c != names[i][nmatched[i]++])
				nmatched[i] = c == names[i][0];
			/* matched to end? */
			else if (!names[i][nmatched[i]]) {
				if (p2_first == -1) p2_first = i;
				p2_last = i;
				nmatched[i] = 0;
			}

	printf("%d %d\n", p1, p2);
	return 0;
}

import re
numbers = {
    "one" : 1,
    "two" : 2,
    "three" : 3,
    "four" : 4,
    "five" : 5,
    "six" : 6,
    "seven" : 7,
    "eight" : 8,
    "nine" : 9
    }
for digit in range(10):
    numbers[str(digit)] = digit
pattern = "(%s)" % "|".join(numbers.keys())
   
re1 = re.compile(".*?" + pattern)
re2 = re.compile(".*" + pattern)
total = 0
for line in open("input.txt"):
    m1 = re1.match(line)
    m2 = re2.match(line)
    num = (numbers[m1.group(1)] * 10) + numbers[m2.group(1)]
    total += num
print(total)

There weren't any zeros in the training data I got - the text seems to suggest that "0" is allowed but "zero" isn't.

Java

My take on a modern Java solution (parts 1 & 2).

package thtroyer.day1;

import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
import java.util.stream.Stream;


public class Day1 {
    record Match(int index, String name, int value) {
    }

    Map numbers = Map.of(
            "one", 1,
            "two", 2,
            "three", 3,
            "four", 4,
            "five", 5,
            "six", 6,
            "seven", 7,
            "eight", 8,
            "nine", 9);

    /**
     * Takes in all lines, returns summed answer
     */
    public int getCalibrationValue(String... lines) {
        return Arrays.stream(lines)
                .map(this::getCalibrationValue)
                .map(Integer::parseInt)
                .reduce(0, Integer::sum);
    }

    /**
     * Takes a single line and returns the value for that line,
     * which is the first and last number (numerical or text).
     */
    protected String getCalibrationValue(String line) {
        var matches = Stream.concat(
                        findAllNumberStrings(line).stream(),
                        findAllNumerics(line).stream()
                ).sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(Match::index))
                .toList();

        return "" + matches.getFirst().value() + matches.getLast().value();
    }

    /**
     * Find all the strings of written numbers (e.g. "one")
     *
     * @return List of Matches
     */
    private List findAllNumberStrings(String line) {
        return IntStream.range(0, line.length())
                .boxed()
                .map(i -> findAMatchAtIndex(line, i))
                .filter(Optional::isPresent)
                .map(Optional::get)
                .sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(Match::index))
                .toList();
    }


    private Optional findAMatchAtIndex(String line, int index) {
        return numbers.entrySet().stream()
                .filter(n -> line.indexOf(n.getKey(), index) == index)
                .map(n -> new Match(index, n.getKey(), n.getValue()))
                .findAny();
    }

    /**
     * Find all the strings of digits (e.g. "1")
     *
     * @return List of Matches
     */
    private List findAllNumerics(String line) {
        return IntStream.range(0, line.length())
                .boxed()
                .filter(i -> Character.isDigit(line.charAt(i)))
                .map(i -> new Match(i, null, Integer.parseInt(line.substring(i, i + 1))))
                .toList();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(new Day1().getCalibrationValue(args));
    }
}

I wanted to see if it was possible to do part 1 in a single line of Python:

print(sum([(([int(i) for i in line if i.isdigit()][0]) * 10 + [int(i) for i in line if i.isdigit()][-1]) for line in open("input.txt")]))

Dart solution

This has got to be one of the biggest jumps in trickiness in a Day 1 puzzle. In the end I rolled my part 1 answer into the part 2 logic. [Edit: I've golfed it a bit since first posting it]

import 'package:collection/collection.dart';

var ds = '0123456789'.split('');
var wds = 'one two three four five six seven eight nine'.split(' ');

int s2d(String s) => s.length == 1 ? int.parse(s) : wds.indexOf(s) + 1;

int value(String s, List digits) {
  var firsts = {for (var e in digits) s.indexOf(e): e}..remove(-1);
  var lasts = {for (var e in digits) s.lastIndexOf(e): e}..remove(-1);
  return s2d(firsts[firsts.keys.min]) * 10 + s2d(lasts[lasts.keys.max]);
}

part1(List lines) => lines.map((e) => value(e, ds)).sum;

part2(List lines) => lines.map((e) => value(e, ds + wds)).sum;

Part 02 in Rust 🦀 :

use std::{
    collections::HashMap,
    env, fs,
    io::{self, BufRead, BufReader},
};

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    let args: Vec = env::args().collect();
    let filename = &args[1];
    let file = fs::File::open(filename)?;
    let reader = BufReader::new(file);

    let number_map = HashMap::from([
        ("one", "1"),
        ("two", "2"),
        ("three", "3"),
        ("four", "4"),
        ("five", "5"),
        ("six", "6"),
        ("seven", "7"),
        ("eight", "8"),
        ("nine", "9"),
    ]);

    let mut total = 0;
    for _line in reader.lines() {
        let digits = get_text_numbers(_line.unwrap(), &number_map);
        if !digits.is_empty() {
            let digit_first = digits.first().unwrap();
            let digit_last = digits.last().unwrap();
            let mut cat = String::new();
            cat.push(*digit_first);
            cat.push(*digit_last);
            let cat: i32 = cat.parse().unwrap();
            total += cat;
        }
    }
    println!("{total}");
    Ok(())
}

fn get_text_numbers(text: String, number_map: &HashMap<&str, &str>) -> Vec {
    let mut digits: Vec = Vec::new();
    if text.is_empty() {
        return digits;
    }
    let mut sample = String::new();
    let chars: Vec = text.chars().collect();
    let mut ptr1: usize = 0;
    let mut ptr2: usize;
    while ptr1 < chars.len() {
        sample.clear();
        ptr2 = ptr1 + 1;
        if chars[ptr1].is_digit(10) {
            digits.push(chars[ptr1]);
            sample.clear();
            ptr1 += 1;
            continue;
        }
        sample.push(chars[ptr1]);
        while ptr2 < chars.len() {
            if chars[ptr2].is_digit(10) {
                sample.clear();
                break;
            }
            sample.push(chars[ptr2]);
            if number_map.contains_key(&sample.as_str()) {
                let str_digit: char = number_map.get(&sample.as_str()).unwrap().parse().unwrap();
                digits.push(str_digit);
                sample.clear();
                break;
            }
            ptr2 += 1;
        }
        ptr1 += 1;
    }

    digits
}

Solution in C: https://github.com/sjmulder/aoc/blob/master/2023/c/day01-orig.c

Usually day 1 solutions are super short numeric things, this was a little more verbose. For part 2 I just loop over an array of digit names and use strncmp().

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	static const char * const nm[] = {"zero", "one", "two", "three",
	    "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};
	char buf[64], *s;
	int p1=0,p2=0, p1f,p1l, p2f,p2l, d;
	
	while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)) {
		p1f = p1l = p2f = p2l = -1;

		for (s=buf; *s; s++)
			if (*s >= '0' && *s <= '9') {
				d = *s-'0';
				if (p1f == -1) p1f = d;
				if (p2f == -1) p2f = d;
				p1l = p2l = d;
			} else for (d=0; d<10; d++) {
				if (strncmp(s, nm[d], strlen(nm[d])))
					continue;
				if (p2f == -1) p2f = d;
				p2l = d;
				break;
			}

		p1 += p1f*10 + p1l;
		p2 += p2f*10 + p2l;
	}

	printf("%d %d\n", p1, p2);
	return 0;
}

Trickier than expected! I ran into an issue with Lua patterns, so I had to revert to a more verbose solution, which I then used in Hare as well.

I'm a bit late to the party. I forgot about this.

Anyways, my (lazy) C solutions: https://git.sr.ht/~aidenisik/aoc23/tree/master/item/day1

Solved part one in about thirty seconds. But wow, either my brain is just tired at this hour or I'm lacking in skill, but part two is harder than any other year has been on the first day. Anyway, I managed to solve it, but I absolutely hate it, and will definitely be coming back to try to clean this one up.

My solutin in Elixir for both part 1 and part 2 is below. It does use regex and with that there are many different ways to accomplish the goal. I'm no regex master so I made it as simple as possible and relied on the language a bit more. I'm sure there are cooler solutions with no regex too, this is just what I settled on:

defmodule AdventOfCode.Day01 do
  def part1(args) do
    number_regex = ~r/([0-9])/

    args
    |> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
    |> Enum.map(&first_and_last_number(&1, number_regex))
    |> Enum.map(&number_list_to_integer/1)
    |> Enum.sum()
  end

  def part2(args) do
    number_regex = ~r/(?=(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))/

    args
    |> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
    |> Enum.map(&first_and_last_number(&1, number_regex))
    |> Enum.map(fn number -> Enum.map(number, &replace_word_with_number/1) end)
    |> Enum.map(&number_list_to_integer/1)
    |> Enum.sum()
  end

  defp first_and_last_number(string, regex) do
    matches = Regex.scan(regex, string)
    [_, first] = List.first(matches)
    [_, last] = List.last(matches)

    [first, last]
  end

  defp number_list_to_integer(list) do
    list
    |> List.to_string()
    |> String.to_integer()
  end

  defp replace_word_with_number(string) do
    numbers = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"]

    String.replace(string, numbers, fn x ->
      (Enum.find_index(numbers, &(&1 == x)) + 1)
      |> Integer.to_string()
    end)
  end
end

I did this in C. First part was fairly trivial, iterate over the line, find first and last number, easy.

Second part had me a bit worried i would need a more string friendly library/language, until i worked out that i can just strstr to find "one", and then in place switch that to "o1e", and so on. Then run part1 code over the modified buffer. I originally did "1ne", but overlaps such as "eightwo" meant that i got the 2, but missed the 8.

Uiua solution

I may add solutions in Uiua depending on how easy I find them, so here's today's (also available to run online):

Inp ← {"four82nine74" "hlpqrdh3" "7qt" "12" "1one"}
# if needle is longer than haystack, return zeros
SafeFind ← ((⌕|-.;)< ∩⧻ , ,)
FindDigits ← (× +1⇡9 ⊠(□SafeFind∩⊔) : Inp)
"123456789"
⊜□ ≠@\s . "one two three four five six seven eight nine"
∩FindDigits
BuildNum ← (/+∵(/+⊂⊃(×10↙ 1)(↙ 1⇌) ▽≠0.⊔) /↥)
∩BuildNum+,

or stripping away all the fluff:

Inp ← {"four82nine74" "hlpqrdh3" "7qt" "12" "1one"}
⊜□ ≠@\s."one two three four five six seven eight nine" "123456789"
∩(×+1⇡9⊠(□(⌕|-.;)<⊙:∩(⧻.⊔)):Inp)
∩(/+∵(/+⊂⊃(×10↙1)(↙1⇌)▽≠0.⊔)/↥)+,

My solution in rust. I'm sure there's a lot more clever ways to do it but this is what I came up with.

        let last = get_digit(line.to_ascii_lowercase().as_bytes(), true, check_for_spelled);


        let num = (first * 10) + last;

        // println!("\nLine: {} -- First: {}, Second: {}, Num: {}", line, first, last, num);
        sum += num as u64;

Part 1

execute(1, test_file_suffix: "p1") do |lines|
  lines.inject(0) do |acc, line|
    d = line.gsub(/\D/,'')
    acc += (d[0] + d[-1]).to_i
  end
end

Part 2

map = {
  "one": 1,
  "two": 2,
  "three": 3,
  "four": 4,
  "five": 5,
  "six": 6,
  "seven": 7,
  "eight": 8,
  "nine": 9,
}

execute(2) do |lines|
  lines.inject(0) do |acc, line|
    first_num = line.sub(/(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine)/) do |key|
      map[key.to_sym]
    end
    last_num = line.reverse.sub(/(enin|thgie|neves|xis|evif|ruof|eerht|owt|eno)/) do |key|
      map[key.reverse.to_sym]
    end

    d = first_num.chars.select { |num| numeric?(num) }
    e = last_num.chars.select { |num| numeric?(num) }
    acc += (d[0] + e[0]).to_i
  end
end

Then of course I also code golfed it, but didn't try very hard.

P1 Code Golf

execute(1, alternative_text: "Code Golf 60 bytes", test_file_suffix: "p1") do |lines|
  lines.inject(0){|a,l|d=l.gsub(/\D/,'');a+=(d[0]+d[-1]).to_i}
end

P2 Code Golf (ignore the formatting, I just didn't want to reformat to remove all the spaces, and it's easier to read this way.)

execute(1, alternative_text: "Code Golf 271 bytes", test_file_suffix: "p1") do |z|
  z.inject(0) { |a, l|
    w = %w(one two three four five six seven eight nine)
    x = w.join(?|)
    f = l.sub(/(#{x})/) { |k| map[k.to_sym] }
    g = l.reverse.sub(/(#{x.reverse})/) { |k| map[k.reverse.to_sym] }
    d = f.chars.select { |n| n.match?(/\d/) }
    e = g.chars.select { |n| n.match?(/\d/) }
    a += (d[0] + e[0]).to_i
  }
end

Part 1 felt fairly pretty simple in Haskell:

import Data.Char (isDigit)

main = interact solve

solve :: String -> String
solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . filter isDigit) . lines

Part 2 was more of a struggle, though I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I ended up using concatMap inits . tails to generate all substrings, in order of appearance so one3m becomes ["","o","on","one","one3","one3m","","n","ne","ne3","ne3m","","e","e3","e3m","","3","3m","","m",""]. I then wrote a function stringToDigit :: String -> Maybe Char which simultaneously filtered out the digits and standardised them as Chars.

import Data.List (inits, tails)
import Data.Char (isDigit, digitToInt)
import Data.Maybe (mapMaybe)

main = interact solve

solve :: String -> String
solve = show . sum . map (read . (\x -> [head x, last x]) . mapMaybe stringToDigit . concatMap inits . tails) . lines
--                             |string of first&last digit| |find all the digits |   |all substrings of line|

stringToDigit "one"   = Just '1'
stringToDigit "two"   = Just '2'
stringToDigit "three" = Just '3'
stringToDigit "four"  = Just '4'
stringToDigit "five"  = Just '5'
stringToDigit "six"   = Just '6'
stringToDigit "seven" = Just '7'
stringToDigit "eight" = Just '8'
stringToDigit "nine"  = Just '9'
stringToDigit [x]
  | isDigit x         = Just x
  | otherwise         = Nothing
stringToDigit _       = Nothing

I went a bit excessively Haskell with it, but I had my fun!

Have a snippet of Ruby, something I hacked together as part of a solution during the WFH morning meeting;

class String
  def to_numberstring(digits_only: false)
    tokens = { 
      one: 1, two: 2, three: 3,
      four: 4, five: 5, six: 6,
      seven: 7, eight: 8, nine: 9
    }.freeze
    ret = ""

    i = 0
    loop do
      if self[i] =~ /\d/
        ret += self[i]
      elsif !digits_only
        tok = tokens.find { |k, _| self[i, k.size] == k.to_s }
        ret += tok.last.to_s if tok
      end
      
      i += 1
      break if i >= size
    end

    ret
  end
end

Part-A in Python: https://github.com/pbui/advent-of-code-2023/blob/master/day01/day01-A.py

Was able to use a list comprehension to read the input.

Part-B in Python: https://github.com/pbui/advent-of-code-2023/blob/master/day01/day01-B.py

This was trickier...

Update: Modified Part 2 to be more functional again by using a map before I filter

Python 3

I'm trying to practice writing clear, commented, testable functions, so I added some things that are strictly unnecessary for the challenge (docstrings, error raising, type hints, tests...), but I think it's a necessary exercise for me. If anyone has comments or criticism about my attempt at "best practices," please let me know!

Also, I thought it was odd that the correct answer to part 2 requires that you allow for overlapping letters such as "threeight", but that doesn't occur in the sample input. I imagine that many people will hit a wall wondering why their answer is rejected.

Had a ton of trouble with part 1 until I realized I misinterpreted it. Especially annoying because the example was working fine. So paradoxically part 2 was easier than 1.

This is my solution in Nim:

import strutils, strformat

const digitStrings = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"]

### Type definiton for a proc to extract a calibration function from a line
type CalibrationExtracter = proc (line:string): int

## extract a calibration value by finding the first and last numerical digit, and concatenating them
proc extractCalibration1(line:string): int =
  var first,last = -1
    
  for i, c in line:
    if c.isDigit:
      last = parseInt($c)
      if first == -1:
        first = last
        
  result = first * 10 + last

## extract a calibration value by finding the first and last numerical digit OR english lowercase word for a digit, and concatenating them
proc extractCalibration2(line:string): int =
  var first,last = -1
  
  for i, c in line:
    if c.isDigit:
      last = parseInt($c)
      if first == -1:
        first = last
    else: #not a digit parse number words
      for dsi, ds in digitStrings:
        if i == line.find(ds, i):
          last = dsi+1
          if first == -1:
            first = last
          break #break out of digit strings
        
  result = first * 10 + last

### general purpose extraction proc, accepts an extraction function for specific line handling
proc extract(fileName:string, extracter:CalibrationExtracter, verbose:bool): int =
  
  let lines = readFile(fileName).strip().splitLines();
  
  for lineIndex, line in lines:
    if line.len == 0:
      continue
    
    let value = extracter(line)
    result += value
    
    if verbose:
      echo &"Extracted {value} from line {lineIndex} {line}"

### public interface for puzzle part 1
proc part1*(input:string, verbose:bool = false): int =
  result = input.extract(extractCalibration1, verbose);

### public interface for puzzle part 2

This isn't the most performant or elegant, it's the first one that worked. I have 3 kids and a full time job. If I get through any of these, it'll be first pass through and first try that gets the correct answer.

Part 1 was very easy, just iterated the string checking if the char was a digit. Ditto for the last, by reversing the string. Part 2 was also not super hard, I settled on re-using the iterative approach, checking each string lookup value first (on a substring of the current char), and if the current char isn't the start of a word, then checking if the char was a digit. Getting the last number required reversing the string and the lookup map.

Part 1:

var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 1\PuzzleInput.txt")));

int total = 0;
foreach (var item in list)
{
    //forward
    string digit1 = string.Empty;
    string digit2 = string.Empty;


    foreach (var c in item)
    {
        if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
        {
            digit1 += c;
        
            break;
        }
    }
    //reverse
    foreach (var c in item.Reverse())
    {
        if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
        {
            digit2 += c;

            break;
        }

    }
    total += Int32.Parse(digit1 +digit2);
}

Console.WriteLine(total);

Part 2:

var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 1\PuzzleInput.txt")));
var numbers = new Dictionary() {
    {"one" ,   1}
    ,{"two" ,  2}
    ,{"three" , 3}
    ,{"four" , 4}
    ,{"five" , 5}
    ,{"six" , 6}
    ,{"seven" , 7}
    ,{"eight" , 8}
    , {"nine" , 9 }
};
int total = 0;
string digit1 = string.Empty;
string digit2 = string.Empty;
foreach (var item in list)
{
    //forward
    digit1 = getDigit(item, numbers);
    digit2 = getDigit(new string(item.Reverse().ToArray()), numbers.ToDictionary(k => new string(k.Key.Reverse().ToArray()), k => k.Value));
    total += Int32.Parse(digit1 + digit2);
}

Console.WriteLine(total);

string getDigit(string item,                 Dictionary numbers)
{
    int index = 0;
    int digit = 0;
    foreach (var c in item)
    {
        var sub = item.AsSpan(index++);
        foreach(var n in numbers)
        {
            if (sub.StartsWith(n.Key))
            {
                digit = n.Value;
                goto end;
            }
        }

        if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
        {
            digit = ((int)c) - 48;
            break;
        }
    }
    end:
    return digit.ToString();
}
