Advent of code Day 18

(Note: for more 42, go to: https://www.youtube.com/MarcoServetto)
Ok, finally I have a solution for day 18.
Those tasks are getting more complex day after day.
This time part 2 was trivial after doing part1.

reuse [L42.is/AdamsTowel]

Fs = Load:{reuse[L42.is/FileSystem]}

Unit = Load:{reuse[L42.is/Unit]}

Tree = {interface [HasToS]
  method I magnitude()
  method Tree reduce()
  }  
Trees = Collection.list(Tree)

Leaf = Class:Trait(Unit(I)):{[Tree]
  method magnitude()=\#inner

  method reduce()={
    if \#inner<10I return this
    half1 = \#inner/2I
    half2 = if half1+half1==\#inner half1 else half1+1I
    return Node(left=This(half1),right=This(half2))
    }
  }  
Node = Data:{[Tree,HasToS]
  Tree left, Tree right

  method toS()=S"[%this.left(),%this.right()]"

  method I magnitude() = 
    (\left.magnitude()*3I)+(\right.magnitude()*2I)

  method reduce()={
    Explode(Tree tree) = Explode(k=0I,t=this)
    if tree.toS()!=this.toS() return tree.reduce()
    Tree split = Split(this)
    if split.toS()!=this.toS() return split.reduce()
    return this
    }
  }
Split = {class method Tree(Tree that)={
  if Node(left,right)=that (
    l = This(left)
    if l.toS()!=left.toS() return Node(left=l,right=right)

Now, figuring out the explosion algorithm was quite challenging, and I had to switch using the 'formal language' that is commonly used for designing programming languages.
If you are curious, here is explode in formalism:

 #define explode(k,t) = n1 t n2 //0 if none
 explode(k,n) = empty,n,empty
 explode(4,[n1,n2]) = n1,0,n2
 explode(k,[t1,t2]) = [t1,t2]
   k!=4
   stable(k,t1)
   stable(k,t2)
 explode(k,[t1,t2]) = n1,[t1',sumLeft(n2,t2)],0
   k!=4
   !stable(k,t1)
   n1,t1',n2 = explode(k+1,t1)
 explode(k,[t1,t2]) = 0,[sumRight(n1,t1),t2'],n2
   k!=4
   stable(k,t1)
   !stable(k,t2)
   n1,t2',n2 = explode(k+1,t2)   

 stable(k,n)
 stable(k,[t1,t2]) = k!=4 && stable(k+1,t1) && stable(k+1,t2)

 sumLeft(n0,n) = n+n0
 sumLeft(n0,[t1,t2]) = [sumLeft(n0,t1),t2]
 sumRight(n0,n) = n+n0
 sumRight(n0,[t1,t2]) = [t1,sumRight(n0,t2)]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

As you can see, I'm using a functional approach to do the reduction.
I'm not sure if a 'mutation' based approach would have been easier.
