Implementing Advent of Code 2024 in Zig.
Disclaimer: This is the first time I've written Zig so it's probably not using best practices and whatnot. Any helpful feedback welcome 😎
First, Install zig, e.g. brew install zig.
To run a particular day challenge:
# In debug mode
zig run src/main.zig -- <day n#>
# In release mode
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
./zig-out/bin/aoc24 <day n#>Benchmarks from running on my M3 Pro:
| Challenge | Status | Time (mean ± σ) | Range (min … max) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Done | 8.1 ms ± 0.5 ms | 3.5 ms … 22.3 ms | User: 2.0 ms, System: 5.7 ms, Runs: 353 |

(Note: benchmarks run using hyperfine -N --warmup 5 './zig-out/bin/aoc24 <day n#>'.)
