I built a framework yesterday to waaaaaaay overdesign handling these instead of my normal per-problem-program style, unsure why, but it’s fun and I get great CLI help, lol. It’s available at:

2021-01 is at:

The first part of the function is just opening the file and parsing it with way too much error checking (which is entirely unnecessary for an AoC, but again, overdesigned, lol). The part that solves each part is just (nums is the array of integers, yes I know I could have solved them while parsing without storing anything, and I did that originally, but I like how pretty this even if a couple microseconds slower, lol):

		println!(
			"Step 1: {}",
			nums.iter()
				.tuple_windows()
				.map(|(a, b)| a < b)
				.filter(|&x| x)
				.count()
		);
		println!(
			"Step 2: {}",
			nums.iter()
				.tuple_windows()
				.map(|(a, b, c)| a + b + c)
				.tuple_windows()
				.map(|(a, b)| a < b)
				.filter(|&x| x)
				.count()
		);

And my result times:

❯ cargo run --release -- -v 2021 1 ./inputs/2021/day1.input
   Compiling advent_of_code v0.1.0 (/home/overminddl1/rust/advent_of_code)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 14.08s
     Running `target/release/advent_of_code -v 2021 1 ./inputs/2021/day1.input`
AocApp { verbose: 1, command: Run(Year2021 { day: Day1(Day1 { input_file: "./inputs/2021/day1.input" }) }) }
Step 1: 1448
Step 2: 1471
Time Taken: 97.823µs

(The original version that didn’t store the integers and rather just calculated as it went was at just over 92µs, so that’s the extra cost of the allocations and such.)

EDIT1: Broke out the file reading/parsing code into a standalone module for all the tasks to share (my all generic helpers name, lol), so now my complete 2021-01 code is now:

use crate::aoc::helpers::*;
use clap::Parser;
use itertools::Itertools;
use std::path::PathBuf;

#[derive(Debug, Parser)]
pub struct Day1 {
	/// The input file of "depths"
	pub input_file: PathBuf,
}

impl Day1 {
	pub fn run(&self) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
		let nums =
			map_trimmed_nonempty_lines_of_file(
				&self.input_file,
				|line| Ok(line.parse::<usize>()?),
			)?;
		println!(
			"Step 1: {}",
			nums.iter()
				.tuple_windows()
				.map(|(a, b)| a < b)
				.filter(|&x| x)
				.count()
		);
		println!(
			"Step 2: {}",
			nums.iter()
				.tuple_windows()
				.map(|(a, b, c)| a + b + c)
				.tuple_windows()
				.map(|(a, b)| a < b)
				.filter(|&x| x)
				.count()
		);

		Ok(())
	}
}

EDIT2: And by pretty help messages I mean like this:

❯ ./target/release/advent_of_code 2021 1 --help                
advent_of_code-2021-1 

Advent of Code 2021, Day 1 - Sonar Sweep

USAGE:
    advent_of_code 2021 1 <INPUT_FILE>

ARGS:
    <INPUT_FILE>    The input file of "depths"

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help    Print help information

Each year and day are a command subtask as well, so each has it’s own help too:

❯ ./target/release/advent_of_code 2021 --help  
advent_of_code-2021 

Advent of Code 2021

USAGE:
    advent_of_code 2021 <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help    Print help information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    1       Advent of Code 2021, Day 1 - Sonar Sweep
    help    Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

And the top-most help:

❯ ./target/release/advent_of_code --help     
advent_of_code 

USAGE:
    advent_of_code [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
    -v, --verbose    Level of verbosity, can be used multiple times for more verbosity

SUBCOMMANDS:
    2015    Advent of Code 2015
    2016    Advent of Code 2016
    2017    Advent of Code 2017
    2018    Advent of Code 2018
    2019    Advent of Code 2019
    2020    Advent of Code 2020
    2021    Advent of Code 2021
    help    Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
    tui

(It’s far more pretty in the terminal with it’s colorization and all too)

Like I said, waaaaaaay overdesigned this, lol.

EDIT3: Added ability to run all known solutions with the default inputs in the input directory, and the output:

Step 2: 1471
Day1 Time Taken: 239.692µs

(The times are because I have verbose mode showing with -v.)
