Advent of Code 2024 - Day 24

Greetings, Erlang pioneers! :rocket: Today’s Advent of Code challenge, Day 24, presents us with an electrifying problem that will truly test our concurrency chops. Dive into the intricate world of voltage manipulation and make your Erlang skills shine!

This puzzle takes us to a high-stakes environment where every decision matters. The task involves analyzing and optimizing a grid of high-voltage lines. With Erlang’s capabilities in distributed processing and fault-tolerant systems, it’s the perfect match to tackle this challenge.

:bulb: Tips for Day 24

  • Concurrency is Key: Break down the problem into smaller processes to leverage Erlang’s ability to manage thousands of lightweight processes efficiently.
  • Pattern Matching: Take advantage of Erlang’s pattern matching to process grid data effectively.
  • ETS or Maps: If the problem involves tracking states or intermediate results, consider using ETS tables or maps for efficient lookups and updates.

:sparkles: Motivation for today
Voltage, like code, must flow seamlessly. Optimize, execute, and beam ahead!
