Working through the Advent of Code with the Typelevel Stack

Advent of Code with the Typelevel Stack

Aim

The Advent Of Code is a series of programming challenges

Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other.

You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware. -- Eric Wastl, Advent of Code author

This workshop solves the Advent of Code 2019 puzzles using libraries in the Typelevel ecosystem. We'll explore how Typelevel libraries play well together to give clean functional solutions.

Getting started

1. Open a terminal and clone this repository

   $ git clone https://github.com/lsug/advent-of-code-typelevel.git

2. Compile the project with SBT

   $ cd advent-of-code-typelevel
   [advent-of-code-typelevel]$ sbt
   sbt:Advent Of Code> test:compile

   This will take a while, so you may as well peruse the first Advent of Code challenge https://adventofcode.com/2019/day/1

3. Run the tests

   All of them should fail. You'll need to complete the Advent of Code challenges to get them to pass.
