--- Day 2: Bathroom Security ---
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You arrive at Easter Bunny Headquarters under cover of darkness. However, you left in such a rush that you forgot to
|
|
|
|
|
use the bathroom! Fancy office buildings like this one usually have keypad locks on their bathrooms, so you search the
|
|
|
|
|
front desk for the code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In order to improve security," the document you find says, "bathroom codes will no longer be written down. Instead,
|
|
|
|
|
please memorize and follow the procedure below to access the bathrooms."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The document goes on to explain that each button to be pressed can be found by starting on the previous button and
|
|
|
|
|
moving to adjacent buttons on the keypad: U moves up, D moves down, L moves left, and R moves right. Each line of
|
|
|
|
|
instructions corresponds to one button, starting at the previous button (or, for the first line, the "5" button); press
|
|
|
|
|
whatever button you're on at the end of each line. If a move doesn't lead to a button, ignore it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can't hold it much longer, so you decide to figure out the code as you walk to the bathroom. You picture a keypad
|
|
|
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 2 3
|
|
|
|
|
4 5 6
|
|
|
|
|
7 8 9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suppose your instructions are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ULL
|
|
|
|
|
RRDDD
|
|
|
|
|
LURDL
|
|
|
|
|
UUUUD
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• You start at "5" and move up (to "2"), left (to "1"), and left (you can't, and stay on "1"), so the first button is
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
|
|
|
• Starting from the previous button ("1"), you move right twice (to "3") and then down three times (stopping at "9"
|
|
|
|
|
after two moves and ignoring the third), ending up with 9.
|
|
|
|
|
• Continuing from "9", you move left, up, right, down, and left, ending with 8.
|
|
|
|
|
• Finally, you move up four times (stopping at "2"), then down once, ending with 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, in this example, the bathroom code is 1985.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your puzzle input is the instructions from the document you found at the front desk. What is the bathroom code?

--- Part Two ---
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You finally arrive at the bathroom (it's a several minute walk from the lobby so visitors can behold the many fancy
|
|
|
|
|
conference rooms and water coolers on this floor) and go to punch in the code. Much to your bladder's dismay, the
|
|
|
|
|
keypad is not at all like you imagined it. Instead, you are confronted with the result of hundreds of man-hours of
|
|
|
|
|
bathroom-keypad-design meetings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
|
|
|
|
2 3 4
|
|
|
|
|
5 6 7 8 9
|
|
|
|
|
A B C
|
|
|
|
|
D
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You still start at "5" and stop when you're at an edge, but given the same instructions as above, the outcome is very
|
|
|
|
|
different:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• You start at "5" and don't move at all (up and left are both edges), ending at 5.
|
|
|
|
|
• Continuing from "5", you move right twice and down three times (through "6", "7", "B", "D", "D"), ending at D.
|
|
|
|
|
• Then, from "D", you move five more times (through "D", "B", "C", "C", "B"), ending at B.
|
|
|
|
|
• Finally, after five more moves, you end at 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, given the actual keypad layout, the code would be 5DB3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the same instructions in your puzzle input, what is the correct bathroom code?
