Advent Of Code 2022

What is Advent of code?

Advent of Code is an annual programming event that runs throughout December, offering daily coding challenges in the form of festive puzzles. It’s often treated like a casual “hackathon-style” experience, where participants solve problems using any programming language they prefer. The challenges gradually increase in difficulty, encouraging problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, and creativity. Many developers use it to practice coding skills, learn new languages, or compete with friends. Overall, it’s a fun and engaging way to sharpen programming abilities during the holiday season.

My experience

During Advent of Code 2022, I focused on further developing my Java programming skills by learning new data structures and exploring different ways to use them in order to achieve the desired outcomes. Throughout the competition, I organized my work into a structured project, where I also developed some of my own libraries, including custom data structures designed to solve specific problems.

Skills Developed

Java

During Advent of Code 2022, I encountered problems that required a deeper understanding of data structures and Java’s internal memory management. This pushed me to strengthen my knowledge and write more efficient programs by optimizing how data is stored and processed.

GitHub

Throughout Advent of Code 2022, I used GitHub daily to manage and organize my code. It became an essential tool for tracking progress, maintaining clean project structure, and keeping all my solutions properly versioned.

Java

During Advent of Code 2022, I worked with various algorithmic techniques to solve increasingly complex problems. I learned to analyze challenges, select appropriate approaches, and implement custom solutions using algorithms such as BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, and Kruskal.
