Advent of Code

This repository has some helper classes to solve AOC problems quickly. It has the abstract class AdventOfCodeSolver which users can extend and implement. Then you can run solver in a main method like so

public static void main(String[] args) {
        var runner = AdventOfCodeRunner.getRunner(AdventConstants.YEAR_2021, AdventConstants.DAY1);
        var solver = new YourSolver();
        runner.solve(solver);
    }

Requirements

1. Java 17

Session Token

Advent of Code uses OAuth to assign custom session tokens to each distinct logged-in user. This enables custom inputs and custom answers for each AOC problem. AdventOfCodeRunner will attempt to download the input files for you if the session token is properly assigned in:
