Advent of Code 2024
It’s that time of the year again—time to solve programming puzzles and help elves save Christmas! 🎄🎅
Advent of Code (AoC) is an annual event where programmers tackle daily coding challenges leading up to Christmas. Each day brings a new puzzle that tests logic, problem-solving, and programming skills. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned developer, it’s a fun and festive way to hone your skills!
This year I am solving the puzzles in Python and writing down the solutions in blog style posts using Quarto flavored Jupyter Notebooks. Usually, I don’t have time to solve all the puzzles, especially when the work gets busy, the puzzles get harder and it’s time to prepare for Christmas. But I will try my best to solve as many as possible. Who knows – maybe this year I will manage to solve them all! 🤞
