🎄 Advent of Code 2024: 25 Days, 25 Languages 🎄

Welcome to my Advent of Code 2024 repository! This year, I’m tackling the challenge with a twist: solving each daily puzzle in a different programming language. This is both a fun way to explore new technologies and a test of my problem-solving and adaptability skills.

💡 What is Advent of Code?

Advent of Code is an annual coding event featuring daily programming puzzles from December 1st to December 25th. It’s a fun way to improve your skills, compete with others, and enjoy the holiday season!

🚀 My Personal Challenge

• 25 Days, 25 Languages: Each day’s puzzle will be solved using a unique programming language.
• Learning Focus: I’ll explore different paradigms, ecosystems, and tools.
• Self-Imposed Rules: See the RULES.md file for the detailed constraints I’ve set for myself.

📂 Repository Structure

Each day’s puzzle will have its own folder structured like this:

dayXX-<language>/
├── Dockerfile           # Dockerfile for the language runtime (if needed)
├── input.txt            # Puzzle input file (if provided)
├── output.txt           # Result output (optional)
├── README.md            # Explanation of the approach and language-specific notes
└── solution.<ext>       # The code solution file 

---

📖 How to Run the Solutions

Prerequisites

• Docker: Ensure you have Docker installed on your system.

Run the following command:

./run_solution.sh <day-folder>

Example:

./run_solution.sh day01-python

📝 Documentation and Insights

• Challenges & Learnings: I’ll document my approach, insights, and struggles in each day’s README.md.
• RULES.md: Check out my rules for additional context and constraints.
