Advent Of Code 2017 with Pharo

The repository in which Pharo community will store their solutions to the Advent of Code 2017's programming puzzles.

The main goal is to centralize solutions of Pharo community for learning purpose. People will then be able to check how AOC puzzles can be solved in Pharo with different styles.

Another goal of this repository is to get a feedback on Pharo's Collection framework. If you find a missing method in one of the Pharo's collection during the implementation of a solution, please say it in your solution file

How to participate

4. Each time you solved a puzzle, commit your solution's markdown file into your personal fork of this repository and create a pull request.

Structure of a solution

The solutions to AOC puzzles will take the form of Markdowns files. For each solution, use the template.md file as a basis.

An example of solution (which is a solution of AOC 2016 first puzzle) is available at example/aoc2016-1.md. Your solutions should be formatted similarly.
