Day 16: Ticket Translation

Feelings

Felt that I knew exactly what I was doing. Though making objects out of everything is kinda heavy, it's makes processing the data so much easier. Wrote the parser in plain Rust too.

Learnings

Found out about mdbook
Started writing this book
Learned cargo-edit: cargo install cargo-edit, cargo add package, cargo upgrade (which tried messing with my ^1.0.0 versions)

Task

Part 1

Using the rules, figure out how many tickets are valid. All values of tickets should match some rule.

Part 2

Figure out which field matches which rule.

Input example

class: 1-3 or 5-7
row: 6-11 or 33-44
seat: 13-40 or 45-50

your ticket:
7,1,14

nearby tickets:
7,3,47
40,4,50
55,2,20
