Problem Day 11: Cosmic Expansion
Here the day 11 problem statement: https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/11
Solution Part 1
pub fn build_galaxies(input: &str) -> Vec<(usize, usize)> {
let mut galaxies: Vec<(usize, usize)> = Vec::new();
for (i, row) in input.lines().enumerate() {
for (j, col) in row.chars().enumerate() {
if col.eq(&'#') {
galaxies.push((i, j))
}
}
}
galaxies
}

let mut empty_rows: Vec<usize> = Vec::new();
galaxies.sort_by(|a, b| a.0.cmp(&b.0));
for i in 0..galaxies.len() - 1 {
if galaxies[i + 1].0 - galaxies[i].0 > 1 {
for j in galaxies[i].0 + 1..galaxies[i + 1].0 {
empty_rows.push(j);
}
}
}
empty_rows
}
pub fn extract_empty_cols(galaxies: &mut Vec<(usize, usize)>) -> Vec<usize> {
let mut empty_cols: Vec<usize> = Vec::new();
galaxies.sort_by(|a, b| a.1.cmp(&b.1));
for i in 0..galaxies.len() - 1 {
if galaxies[i + 1].1 - galaxies[i].1 > 1 {
for j in galaxies[i].1 + 1..galaxies[i + 1].1 {
empty_cols.push(j);
}
}
}
empty_cols
}
pub fn expand_galaxies(
galaxies: &mut [(usize, usize)],
empty_rows: &[usize],
empty_cols: &[usize],
rate: usize,
) {
for galaxy in galaxies {
let num_step_x = empty_rows.iter().filter(|r| **r < galaxy.0).count() as usize;
let num_step_y = empty_cols.iter().filter(|c| **c < galaxy.1).count() as usize;
galaxy.0 += (num_step_x * (rate - 1)) as usize;
galaxy.1 += (num_step_y * (rate - 1)) as usize;
}
}
pub fn solve(input: &str, rate: usize) -> usize {
let mut galaxies: Vec<(usize, usize)> = build_galaxies(input);
let empty_rows: Vec<usize> = extract_empty_rows(&mut galaxies);
let empty_cols: Vec<usize> = extract_empty_cols(&mut galaxies);

let mut distances_sum: usize = 0;
for i in 0..galaxies.len() {
for j in i + 1..galaxies.len() {
let distance = (galaxies[i].0 as i32 - galaxies[j].0 as i32).abs()
+ (galaxies[i].1 as i32 - galaxies[j].1 as i32).abs();
distances_sum += distance as usize;
}
}
distances_sum
}
pub fn part1(input: &str) -> usize {
solve(input, 2)
}
Solution Part 2
pub fn part2(input: &str) -> usize {
solve(input, 1_000_000)
}
