Day 6: Wait for It
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

[Language: Lean4]
This one was straightforward, especially since Lean’s Floats are 64bits. There is one interesting piece in the solution though, and that’s the function that combines two integers, which I wrote because I want to use the same parse function for both parts. This
combineNumbers
function is interesting, because it needs a proof of termination to make the Lean4 compiler happy. Or, in other words, the compiler needs to be told that if n is larger than 0, n/10 is a strictly smaller integer than n. That proof actually exists in Lean’s standard library, but the compiler doesn’t find it by itself. Supplying it is as easy as invoking thesimp
tactic with that proof, and a proof that n is larger than 0.As with the previous days, I won’t post the full source here, just the relevant parts. The full solution is on github, including the main function of the program, that loads the input file and runs the solution.
