I enjoyed this one. It was a nice simple break after Days 1 and 3; the type of basic puzzle I expect from the first few days of Advent of Code. Pretty simple logic in this one, I don’t think I would change too much. I’m sure I’ll find a way to clean up how it’s written a bit, but I’m happy with this one today.

struct Scratchcard {
    winning_numbers: HashSet,
    player_numbers: HashSet,

    fn from(input: &str) -> Scratchcard {
        let (_, numbers) = input.split_once(':').unwrap();
        let (winning_numbers, player_numbers) = numbers.split_once('|').unwrap();
        let winning_numbers = winning_numbers
            .split_ascii_whitespace()
            .filter_map(|number| number.parse::().ok())
            .collect::>();
        let player_numbers = player_numbers
            .split_ascii_whitespace()
            .filter_map(|number| number.parse::().ok())
            .collect::>();

        Scratchcard {

        for card_number in 0..cards.len() {
            let matches = cards[card_number].matches();

            if matches == 0 {
                continue;
            }

            for i in 1..=matches {
                card_counts[card_number + i as usize] += card_counts[card_number];
            }
