@xuu Yes, exactly that. *But*: I do have more than 32 bits after all, when I use `double` or `long double`. 😲 I went with `long double` which has 80 bits even on DOS (63 bits mantissa, I think).
(I only wrote a brute-force thingy this morning, so I didn’t even think about doing anything related to polynomials or `double`. 😅 Even part 2 only took 55 ms. But for DOS, this wasn’t an option anyway, so I did the proper math while waiting for something at work. 🤣)
It’s still a bit surprising to me. Usually, AoC doesn’t require such tricks and most things fit neatly into 32 bits. Maybe there’s a better solution after all. 🤔 I might have a look at reddit.

Today’s AoC puzzle is a very simple problem on modern machines, but quite tricky for me: It involves a number that doesn’t fit into 32 bits. 🤔 I wonder if/how I can manage to port this beast to DOS. (I once wrote a “big int” library myself, but that was *ages* ago and I hardly remember it anymore.)

@xuu I see, interesting. 🤔 Now I’m curious if I could optimize my brute-force solution as well. 😅 (I wrote a “proper” solution in the meantime after watching a visualization by someone else.)

@prologic Doing AoC competitively is super hard. I don’t enjoy this at all. I just *happened* to be quick these first few days. 😅
I rather set my own goals. Like the DOS thing this year. That is a lot of fun. 😊 (I just have to remember not to check the leaderboards. 🤣)

@xuu I ask myself that question every year. 🤣
To be fair, the first part wasn’t really that difficult. If you have *A LOT* of experience with these kind of problems/puzzles and if you have a proper framework, I imagine it’s doable. (I, on the other hand, spent about 40 minutes just writing my C code to parse the input.)
Some of these people record themselves and then post it on YouTube. It’s pretty crazy to watch. 🥴
The second part of the puzzle, was/is pretty hard, though. At least for me, because I haven’t found “the trick” yet. I’m currently trying to brute-force it while having breakfast. 😅 (But given that it took ~8 minutes for the first person to get both stars, maybe they brute-forced it as well. With a faster machine and multithreading, ~8 minutes sounds about right. Brute-force is rarely the answer in AoC, though.)

My #AdventOfCode2023 has been calculating statistics for manufacturing 😆
Today was processing a list of states (e.g. A from 6:40 to 7:25, B from 7:25 to 8:15) and getting what happened hourly from 6am to the next 24 hours.
Put timezones into the equation for more fun.
And finally explain all that to the Jr.

never used Turbo C++, although I have good memories of QBasic and QuickBasic.
The help was amazing. You pressed some F key on a keyword, and you got an explanation, example code and a kind of Wiki to keep exploring and learning...

It is a pleasure to work with the help system of Borland’s Turbo C++ 3.0 on DOS. The descriptions are clear and concise. There are short and simple examples. Pretty much every help page is cross-refenced and those links can be *clicked*.
