Advent of Code 2020 Solution Megathread - Day 8: Handheld Halting

I don't know about you, but I struggled to bend C to my will yesterday. Had to do it in Python to stay on top, but now that I've done it in Python, I think I could probably make the C code (that I cleverly deleted all trace of) work. So that's great. Anyways, today is a new day!

The Puzzle

I'm so very happy. This makes up for anything that yesterday did to me. In today’s puzzle, we're debugging machine code! I honestly love all of the puzzles like this. I loved the Intcode challenges from last year, and I'm hoping there are more of these to come. We're writing a sort of machine-code interpreter to parse through and evaluate this code to help a kid play his handheld game on the plane! It's for a good cause!

The Leaderboards

As always, this is the spot where I’ll plug any leaderboard codes shared from the community.

Ryan's Leaderboard: 224198-25048a19

If you want to generate your own leaderboard and signal boost it a little bit, send it to me either in a DEV message or in a comment on one of these posts and I'll add it to the list above.

Yesterday’s Languages

I've got a dope new automated tool to help me fetch and tabulate the number different language submissions each day! It helps the tool if you either write what language you used in your comment or (even better) make your code block language specific with syntax highlighting.

I knew Rust would shine for the machine simulations. Let's hope for more of these.

hello! Sorry did not post yesterday as was visiting my mum in hospital, but completed day 7 this morning, which I have to say was a bit messy!

Day 8 on the other hand seems a lot of fun and I'm remembering more Haskel (and cateory theory) each new day. It's been a while :-) Anywhy, below is today's soloution(s). I did give into using Parser combinators as it just seemed simplier, but other than that it is all fairly standard.

-- anamorphism for lists, used to generate our program traces and modifications
unfoldr :: (b -> Maybe (a, b)) -> (b -> [a])
unfoldr f b = case f b of
                Just (a, b') -> a : unfoldr f b'
                Nothing -> []

-- our 3 known opcodes
data Op = NOp Int | Acc Int | Jmp Int
    deriving (Show, Eq)

type Program = [Op]
type PC = Int

-- Simple parser
lexer = Token.makeTokenParser (TP.emptyDef { Token.reservedNames   = [ "nop", "acc", "jmp" ] })
reserved   = Token.reserved   lexer -- op code
integer    = Token.integer    lexer -- integer
whiteSpace = Token.whiteSpace lexer -- whitespace

-- parse individual opcode
pOpcode :: TP.Parser (Int -> Op)
pOpcode = (reserved "nop" >> return NOp) <|> (reserved "acc" >> return Acc) <|> (reserved "jmp" >> return Jmp)

-- parse an individual instruction
pInstruction :: TP.Parser Op
pInstruction = 
    do op <- pOpcode
       whiteSpace
       op . fromIntegral <$> integer

-- parse all ops
parseOps :: String -> [Op]
parseOps = either (error . show) id . TP.parse (TP.many1 (whiteSpace >> pInstruction)) ""

-- given a PC and a set of visited PC, have we been there before?
halt :: PC -> DS.Set Int -> Bool
halt = DS.member

-- execute a single op, returning a new acc and a function to compute next PC
executeOp :: Op -> Int -> (Int, PC -> PC)
executeOp (NOp _) acc = (acc, (+1))
executeOp (Acc inc) acc = (acc+inc, (+1))
executeOp (Jmp i) acc = (acc, (+i))

-- step a single op for a given program, at PC, seen PCs, and current Acc
step :: (Program, PC, DS.Set Int, Int) -> Maybe ((Bool, Int), (Program, PC, DS.Set Int, Int))
step (ps, pc, seen, acc) 
    | pc >= length ps = Nothing
    | otherwise = let (acc', next) = executeOp (ps!!pc) acc
                      pc' = next pc
                  in Just ((halt pc' seen, acc'), (ps, pc', DS.insert pc' seen, acc') )

-- modify an op (NOP => JMP and JMP => NOP), if possible
modOp :: Op -> Maybe Op
modOp (NOp i) = Just (Jmp i)
modOp (Acc inc) = Nothing
modOp (Jmp i) = Just (NOp i)

-- generate a modified program, if possible, given a Program and PC
mods :: (Program, PC) -> Maybe (Maybe Program, (Program, PC))
mods (ps, pc) = if pc < length ps
                then Just (maybe (Nothing, (ps, pc+1)) aux (modOp (ps!!pc)))
                else Nothing
    where
        aux op = (Just (take pc ps ++ [op] ++ drop (pc+1) ps), (ps, pc+1))

-- produce all traces of a programs execution
execute :: Program -> [(Bool, Int)]
execute ps = unfoldr step (ps, 0, DS.empty, 0)

-- find acc at the point when a single op is executed twice
part1 = snd . head . dropWhile (not . fst) . execute

-- find a acc for a modified program that terminates
part2 = fromMaybe 0 . head . dropWhile (==Nothing) . map (p . execute) . 
            foldr (\a b -> maybe b (:b) a) [] . unfoldr mods . (\ps -> (ps,0))
    where
        p [(False, v)] = Just v 
        p ((True,_):_) = Nothing
        p (_:xs)       = p xs

main = do ops <- readFile "day8_input" <&> parseOps
          print (part1 ops)
          print (part2 ops)

as soon as i saw this, i remembered the IntCode shenanigans from last year...can't wait til we're forking off 4 copies of this VM to run in parallel or talk to each other or whatever :)

ts solution was pretty compact here, although I got tripped up by the sneaky blank line at the end of the input! I've been doing this for a few years and we're 8 days in, you'd think I'd remember that by now haha.

export const solve: SolveFunc = (lines) => {
  lines = lines.filter((l) => l.length > 0);

  for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
    const line = lines[i];
    if (line.startsWith('acc')) {
      continue;
    }
    const chunks = line.split(' ');
    const newLine = [swap(chunks[0]), chunks[1]].join(' ');
    const oldLine = line;
    lines[i] = newLine;

    const res = vm(lines);
    if (res === -1) {
      lines[i] = oldLine;
      continue;
    }
    return res;
  }
};

const swap = (op) => {
  if (op === 'nop') {
    return 'jmp';
  } else {
    return 'nop';
  }
};
const vm = (lines: string[]): number => {
  //   console.log(lines);
  let acc = 0;
  let i = 0;
  const seen = new Set();
  while (i < lines.length) {
    if (seen.has(i)) {
      return -1; // ew
    }
    seen.add(i);

    const [op, arg] = lines[i].split(' ');

    if (op === 'nop') {
      // pass
      i++;
    } else if (op === 'acc') {
      acc += parseInt(arg);
      i++;
    } else if (op === 'jmp') {
      i += parseInt(arg);

My solution in C#
Tried to make it look decent with the Operation enum and an Instruction class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace AdventOfCode2020
{

    enum Operation
    {
        nop,
        acc,
        jmp
    }
    class Instruction
    {
        public Operation Operation { get; set; }
        public int Argument { get; set; }
        public bool IsExecuted { get; set; }
    }
    static class Day8
    {
        static List<Instruction> Instructions = new List<Instruction>();

            //Added a imer just for fun
            var timer = new Stopwatch();
            timer.Start();
            //First create a nice list of instructions from the inputfile
            foreach (var instruction in input)
