Note by the Moderators: This topic is to talk about Day 3 of the Advent of Code.
For general discussion about the Advent of Code 2018 and links to topics of the other days, see this topic.
And day 3 is solved as well.
On my VM in the office both parts take about 1 to 1.25 seconds. Thats OK for me today. But the first iteration I used to get the actual solutions has some repitions in it, which I do not like.
I really have to iterate on those, and perhaps I’ll be even able to get them more efficient?
