Day 2: Cube Conundrum


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/ or pastebin (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)

    Not too tricky today. Part 2 wasn’t as big of a curveball as yesterday thankfully. I don’t think it’s the cleanest code I’ve ever written, but hey - the whole point of this is to get better at Rust, so I’ll definitely be learning as I go, and coming back at the end to clean a lot of these up. I think for this one I’d like to look into a parsing crate like nom to clean up all the spliting and unwrapping in the two from() methods.
