All sorts of languages are +used in this repo. You'll mostly find Awk and Python, but also a lot of other languages like C and +Shell Script, and even more "obscure" ones like Flex (a C lexer/scanner generator if you didn't +know) or BC (an arbitrary precision calculator). + +The repo should be simply to navigate, just select the folder of the corresponding year and then the +folder of the corresponding day. Each days folder should have a file called "input" with the input +data and either two files called "puzzle-1.ext" and "puzzle-2.ext" or one file called "puzzles.ext". +In the latter case, there should be a Makefile you can run to build the two individual programs or +scripts to run each part seperately. It's rare but you might also see both, in this case just run +the "puzzles.ext" file as it's required to get the "puzzle-1.ext" and "puzzle-2.ext" files to +actually run properly. + +.. _Advent of Code: https://adventofcode.com -- cgit v1.2.3
