Anyone else doing https://adventofcode.com/2017

 

Apart from day 3 the first 5 are easy enough, I'm doing it in python.

Only just seen this but looks pretty good fun... 1 down, 24 to go. Thanks.

Good luck, I learned a few things on the way, what language are you using? I did it in Python

Looks like good fun, up to #5 so far just doing it in the console with Javascript

Switched to javascript this year, seems like a fun way to relearn it. Turns out Javascript has Sets now, handy.

 

Using VSCode (if only it deployed simply, sigh)

Am I being thick or something

 

I have found the correct answer to question 1 and it confirms my answer

 

but I have tried to find the first repeated frequency - and I find none repeat

 

so far I have tried it in Python and using excel - any one else get this??

 

TIA

 

Mike

 

*edit*

just realised that the instruction say that I need to allow the program to run through the sequence of plusses and minuses several time before I get a match

 

must start reading the questions
