Day 7: Camel Cards

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Rust

Getting the count of each card, the two highest counts easily show what type of hand we have. For part 2 I just added the number of jokers to the highest count.

I spent some time messing around with generics to minimize code duplication between the solutions to both parts. I could have absolutely just copied everything and made small changes, but now my solution is generic over puzzle parts.
