Day 23: LAN Party

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)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Rust

    Finding cliques in a graph, which is actually NP-comlete. For part two I did look up how to do it and implemented the Bron-Kerbosch algorithm. Adding the pivoting optimization improved the runtime from 134ms to 7.4ms, so that is definitely worth it (in some sense, of course I already had the correct answer without pivoting).

    Solution
    use rustc_hash::{FxHashMap, FxHashSet};
    
    fn parse(input: &str) -> (Vec<Vec<usize>>, FxHashMap<&str, usize>) {
        let mut graph = Vec::new();
        let mut names: FxHashMap<&str, usize> = FxHashMap::default();
        for l in input.lines() {
            let (vs, ws) = l.split_once('-').unwrap();
            let v = *names.entry(vs).or_insert_with(|| {
                graph.push(vec![]);
                graph.len() - 1
            });
            let w = *names.entry(ws).or_insert_with(|| {
                graph.push(vec![]);
                graph.len() - 1
            });
            graph[v].push(w);
            graph[w].push(v);
        }
        (graph, names)
    }
    
    fn part1(input: String) {
        let (graph, names) = parse(&input);
        let mut triples: FxHashSet<[usize; 3]> = FxHashSet::default();
        for (_, &v) in names.iter().filter(|(name, _)| name.starts_with('t')) {
            for (i, &u) in graph[v].iter().enumerate().skip(1) {
                for w in graph[v].iter().take(i) {
                    if graph[u].contains(w) {
                        let mut triple = [u, v, *w];
                        triple.sort();
                        triples.insert(triple);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        println!("{}", triples.len());
    }
