    Oh today was a struggle. First I did not get what exactly the task wanted me to do and then in part 2 I tried a few different ideas which all failed because I changed the disk while I was indexing into it. Finally now I reworked part 2 not moving the blocks at all, just using indexes and it works.

    I feel that there is definitely something to learn here and that’s what I like about AoC so far. This is my first AoC but I hope that I won’t have to put this much thought into the rest, since I should definitely use my time differently.

    Code
    function readInput(inputFile::String)
    	f = open(inputFile,"r"); diskMap::String = readline(f); close(f)
    	disk::Vector{String} = []
    	id::Int = 0
    	for (i,c) in enumerate(diskMap)
    		if i%2 != 0 #used space
    			for j=1 : parse(Int,c)
    				push!(disk,string(id))
    			end
    			id += 1
    		else #free space
    			for j=1 : parse(Int,c)

    Just a port of my Dart solution from earlier really, and it shows, as it takes about 30 seconds on the live data.

    (edit: I just noticed the little alien in the code (⋅⋅∘|⋅∘|∘) which is literally flipping the stack (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻!)

    How to read this

    Try it live!

    Data   ← "2333133121414131402"
    FS     ← ↙⌊÷2⧻.▽≡⋕:♭⍉⊟⊃(⇡|↯:¯1)⧻.Data  # Build up a map of the FS.
    MoveB  ← ⍜(⊡|⋅)⊃(⋅⋅∘|⋅∘|∘) ⊡¯1.:⊢⊚⌕¯1. # Find a space, move block into it.
    MoveBs ← ⍢(⍢(↘¯1|=¯1⊣)↘¯1MoveB|>0⧻⊚⌕¯1)
    
    TryMove ← ⨬(◌|∧⍜⊏⇌⍉)/×/>.
    MoveFile ← (
      ⊃(⊚⌕↯:¯1⧻|∘)⊚⌕⊙.⊙.         # get posns from, start posn to.
      ⨬(◌◌|TryMove ⊟+⊙◌°⊏,⊢)>0⧻. # check posn to is good, swap.
    )
    Check ← /+/×⊟⇡⧻.↥0
    &p Check MoveBs FS
    &p Check ∧MoveFile⇌+1⇡/↥.FS
    

    (edit: improved. Part1 is instant, part2 is about 17sec, but the alien has left)

    Data   ← "2333133121414131402"
    FS     ← ▽≡⋕:↙⧻:♭⍉⊟⊃(⇡|↯:¯1)⧻..Data # Build up a map of the FS.

    This was fun, I optimized away quite a bit, as a result it now runs in 0.04s for both parts together on my 2016 laptop.

    In part 1 I just run through the array with a start- and an end-index whilst summing up the checksum the entire time.
    In part 2 I build up Binary Trees of Free Space which allow me to efficiently search for and insert free spaces when I start traversing the disk from the back. Marking the moved files as free is omitted because the checksum is calculated for every file that is moved or not moved directly.

    Python part 1

    This is working for the demo, but not for the actual data. I’m a bit lost on why.

    def part1(data: data) -> None:
        disk_map, free = gen_disk_map(data.getlines()[0])
        for f in free[:-2]:
            disk_map[f] = disk_map.pop(max(disk_map.keys()))
        print(sum([k * v for k, v in disk_map.items()]))
    
    
    def gen_disk_map(raw: str):
        file_id = 0
        pos = 0
        disk_map, free = {}, []
    
        for read_index, val in enumerate(map(int, raw)):
            if read_index % 2 == 0:
                for _ in range(val):
                    disk_map[pos] = file_id
                    pos += 1
                file_id += 1
            else:
                free.extend(range(pos, pos + val))
                pos += val
    
        return disk_map, free

      This part looks suspicious:

          for f in range(len(free) - 2):
              disk_map[free[f]] = disk_map.pop(max(disk_map.keys()))
      

      You’re always moving exactly len(free) - 2 blocks, but that doesn’t sound to be correct in all cases. If you consider the following input: 191, you only need to move one block, and not seven.

    PYTHON

    Execution Time: Part1 = 0.02 seconds. Part2 = ~2.1 seconds. total = ~2.1 seconds

    Aiming for simplicity over speed. This is pretty fast for not employing simple tricks like trees and all that.

    code

    because of text limit and this code being slow, I put it in a topaz paste: [ link ]

    Edit:

    New version that is using a dictionary to keep track of the next empty slot that fits the current index.

    Execution Time: Part1 = 0.02 seconds. Part2 = ~0.08 seconds. total = ~0.08 seconds 80 ms

    code

    you can also find this code in the Topaz link: [ link ]

    Edit: final revision. I just realized that the calculating for “last_consecutive_full_partition” was not necessary and very slow. if I know all the next available slots, and can end early once my current index dips below all next available slots then the last_consecutive_full_partition will never be reached. This drops the time now to less than ~0.1 seconds

    Probably Final Edit: I found someone’s O(n) code for OCaml. I tried to convert it to be faith fully in pure python. seems to work really really fast. 30-50 ms time for most inputs. seems to scale linearly too

      So cool, I was very hyped when I managed to squeeze out the last bit of performance, hope you are too. Especially surprised you managed it with python, even without the simple tricks like trees ;)

      I wanted to try it myself, can confirm it runs in under 0.1s in performance mode on my laptop, I am amazed though I must admin I don’t understand your newest revision. 🙈

        Just to let you know, I posted the fastest python version I could come up with. Which took heavy inspiration from [ link to github ]

        supposedly O(n) linear time, and does seem to work really fast.

        Thanks! your Haskell solution is extremely fast and I don’t understand your solution, too. 🙈 lol

        My latest revision just keeps a dict with lists of known empty slots with the length being the dict key, including partially filled slots. I iteratively find the slot that has the lowest index number and make sure the lists are properly ordered from lowest to highest index number.

        looking at the challenge example/description, it shows a first pass only type of “fragmenting”. we can be confident that if something did not fit, it can just stay in the same spot even if another slot frees up enough space for it to fit. so just checking if current index is lower than the lowest index number of any of the slot lengths would just be enough to stop early. That is why I got rid of last_consecutive_full_partition because it was slowing it down by up to 2 seconds.

        in example, even if 5555, 6666, or 8888 can fit in the new spot created by moving 44, they are staying put. Thus a first pass only sort from back to front.

        00...111...2...333.44.5555.6666.777.888899
        0099.111...2...333.44.5555.6666.777.8888..
        0099.1117772...333.44.5555.6666.....8888..
        0099.111777244.333....5555.6666.....8888..
        00992111777.44.333....5555.6666.....8888..

          I only now found your edit after I had finished my previous comment. I think splitting into two lists may be good: one List of Files and one of Empty Blocks, I think this may not work with your checksumming so maybe not.

Instead of keeping a Dict[Int, List[Int]] where the value list is ordered I have a Dict[Int, Tree[Int]] which allows for easy (and fast!) lookup due to the nature of trees. (Also lists in haskell are horrible to mutate)

          I also apply the your technique of only processing each file once, instead of calculating the checksum afterwards on the entire list of file blocks I calculate it all the time whenever I process a file. Using some maths I managed to reduce the sum to a constant expression.

            yeah, I was a bit exhausted thinking in a high level abstract way. I do think that if I do the checksum at the same time I could shave off a few more milliseconds. though it is at like the limits of speed, especially for python with limited data types(no trees lol). Decently fast enough for me :)

            edit: I also just tested it and splitting into two lists gave no decent speed up and made it slower. really iterating backwards is fast with that list slice. I can’t think of another way to speed it up past it can do rn

                so if I look at each part of my code. the first 4 lines will take 20 ms

                input_data = input_data.replace('\r', '').replace('\n', '')
                part2_data = [[i//2 for _ in range(int(x))] if i%2==0 else ['.' for _ in range(int(x))] for i,x in enumerate(input_data)]
                part2_data = [ x for x in part2_data if x!= [] ]
                part1_data = [y for x in part2_data for y in x]
                

                The part1 for loop will take 10 ms.

                The for loop to set up next_empty_slot_by_length will take another 10 ms.

                The part2 for loop will take 10 ms, too!

                and adding up the part2 checksums will add another 10 ms.

                So, in total, it will do it in ~60 ms, but python startup overhead seems to add 20-40 ms depending if you are on Linux(20 ms) or Windows(40 ms). both are Host, not virtual. Linux usually has faster startup time.

                I am not sure where I would see a speed up. It seems that the startup overhead makes this just slower than the other top performing solutions which are also hitting a limit of 40-60 ms.

                ah well, I tried switching to python’s set() but it was slow because of the fact it is unordered. I would need to use a min() to find the minimum index number, which was slow af. indexing might be fast but pop(0) on a list is also just as fast.(switching to deque had no speed up either) The list operations I am using are mostly O(1) time

                If I comment out this which does the adding:

                # adds checksums
                    part2_data = [y for x in part2_data for y in x]
                    part2 = 0
                    for i,x in enumerate(part2_data):
                        if x != '.':
                            part2 += i*x
                

                so that it isolates the checksum part. it is still only 80-100ms. so the checksum part had no noticeable slowdown, even if I were to do the check sum at the same time I do the sorting it would not lower execution time.

    As I’m still on holiday and normal languages are a PITA to type on a phone, I though I’d try a compiled scripting language. I’m not very familiar with it so it took longer to code and also it’s been running the first reduce step for 35 minutes so I’ve missed the 24h cutoff 😔

    use std repeat
    use std/iter
    
    let memory = open input.txt | str trim 
      | split chars | chunks 2
      | enumerate | each {|pair| [
        ...($pair.index | repeat ($pair.item.0 | into int))
        ...("." | repeat (if ($pair.item|length) < 2 {0} else {$pair.item.1 | into int}))
      ]}
      | flatten
    
    let defragged = (($memory | length) - 1)..(($memory | filter {$in != .} | length))
     | reduce --fold $memory {|i, acc| 
        let space = $acc | iter find-index {|$i| $i == .}
        $acc | update $space ($acc | get $i)
          | update $i .
      }
    
    $defragged | enumerate
      | reduce --fold 0 {|i,acc| $acc + ($i.index * if $i.item == "." {0} else {$i.item | into int})}

          I’ll buy “better than default on screen keyboard”, but I doubt it’ll be better than a physical keyboard. Would be nice if there was a virtual keyboard that let you easily modify the layout. I keep hitting . instead of space on my phone.

        Haha, thanks but we both know they’re #1 by a country mile. I think my phone’s now downclocking as it’s burning up and still hasn’t spat out an answer after two hours, so I technically haven’t completed it yet!

        Edit: Calling it for now, I might figure out later why it’s so slow (there’s some easy but minor gains to be made but I’m guessing there’s some O(awful) going on that the input’s blown up)

    Was really blanking on how to do this one nicely, so a bunch of stacked loops it is…
    Also ended up writing two separate solutions for the first and second part, since I couldn’t get acceptable performance otherwise. Still takes half a second on my machine, mainly on the second part.

    This is technically the second implementation, the first one took minutes to calculate, so I wasn’t really okay with stamping it as my solution-of-choice.

    Can definitely still be improved, but I’ve been poking and prodding at this code for hours on end now, so it’s long past time to let it sit for a while and see if I get any better ideas later.

    C#
    int[] layout = new int[0];
    public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
    {
      layout = string.Join("", lines).ToCharArray().Select(c => int.Parse(c.ToString())).ToArray();
    }

      ushort?[] blocks = BuildBlockmap().ToArray();
    
      var it = 0;

      {
        if (blocks[i] == null)
          continue;
    
        while (it < blocks.Length && blocks[it] != null)
          ++it;
    
        if (it >= blocks.Length)
          break;
    
        (blocks[it], blocks[i]) = (blocks[i], null);
      }
    
      long checksum = 0;
      foreach (var part in blocks.OfType<ushort>().Select((b, i) => i * b))
        checksum += part;
    
      Console.WriteLine($"Checksum: {checksum}");
    }
    
    public void Part2()
    {
      var sparse = BuildSparsemap().ToList();
    
      for (var i = sparse.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
      {
        if (sparse[i].Item1 == null)
          continue;
    
        for (var j = 0; j < i; ++j)
        {
          if (sparse[j].Item1 != null)
            continue;
    
          if (sparse[i].Item2 > sparse[j].Item2)
            continue;
    
          var size = sparse[j].Item2;
          size -= sparse[i].Item2;

    A bunch of fiddling with indices and sizes. In part 1 the disk is simulated in a Vec, for part 2 files and spaces are represented by their offset and size, collected in separate lists. Then these values are changed as necessary, with a whole bunch of mut. In particular, files are never moved within the list of files, only their offset changes.

    Solution
    fn part1(input: String) {
        let mut id: u64 = 0;
        let mut disk = Vec::new();
        let mut file = true;
        for b in input.trim().bytes() {
            let num: usize = (b - b'0') as usize;
            if file {
                disk.extend(vec![Some(id); num]);
                id += 1;
            } else {
                disk.extend(vec![None; num]);
            }
            file = !file;
        }
    
        let mut first_free = 0;

      Found a cheaty way to get sub 1s:

          fn defrag2(p0: &mut [i64]) {
              let mut i = *p0.last().unwrap();
              while i > 3000 {  // Stop defragging here, probably cant find free spots after this point
                  let (old_pos, size) = find_file(p0, i);
                  if let Some(new_pos) = find_slot(p0, size, old_pos) {
                      move_file(p0, i, size, old_pos, new_pos);
                  }
                  i -= 1;
              }
          }
      

      Might be possible to correctly do this in the find_slot code, so that if it fails to find a slot, it never searches for that size again.

      edit:

      fn defrag2(p0: &mut [i64]) {
              let mut i = *p0.last().unwrap();
              let mut max_size = 10;
              while i > 0 {
                  let (old_pos, size) = find_file(p0, i);
                  if size <= max_size {
                      if let Some(new_pos) = find_slot(p0, size, old_pos) {
                          move_file(p0, i, size, old_pos, new_pos);
                      } else {
                          max_size = size - 1;
                      }
                  }
                  if max_size == 0 {
                      return;
                  }
                  i -= 1;
              }
          }

        haha, kept going at it, got it down to 4ms, by tracking where the searches ended, and starting from there next time.

        Definitely done now :D
