Speed Edition

Today was bad. I misread the instructions, forgot a bunch of basic functions, and so much more. I couldn’t get any of the base reading functions to read my input properly so I ended up with fread from data.table. I also haven’t been able to make any significant speed improvements from my initial solution.

I’m not sure why readLines wasn’t working last night but I also switched to str_split_fixed from stringr and it’s so much faster now.

Fastest solution

library(dplyr)
# part 1
dt <- stringr::str_split_fixed(readLines("input.txt"), pattern = "", n = 12)
dt <- data.frame(apply(dt, 2, as.integer))

getModeMin <- function(x)
  return(ifelse(mean(x) > .5, 0, 1))
getModeMax <- function(x)
  return(ifelse(mean(x) > .5, 1, 0))

strtoi(paste(apply(dt, 2, getModeMax), collapse = ""), base = 2) *
  strtoi(paste(apply(dt, 2, getModeMin), collapse = ""), base = 2)

# part 2
dto <- dt
dtc <- dt

for (i in 1:12) {
  if (nrow(dto) > 1)
    dto <- dto |>
      filter_at(i, all_vars(. == ifelse(mean(dto[, i]) >= .5, 1, 0)))
  if (nrow(dtc) > 1)
    dtc <- dtc |>
      filter_at(i, all_vars(. == ifelse(mean(dtc[, i]) < .5, 1, 0)))
}

strtoi(paste(as.character(dto[1,]), collapse = ""), base = 2) *
  strtoi(paste(as.character(dtc[1,]), collapse = ""), base = 2)
