This. Every year since 2015, starting December 1 to 25, 25 small programming problems are presented on http://adventofcode.com. The challenges are fun to solve in programming language of your choice. I mostly solved those with Elixir in the past, but am looking forward to play with Golang in future challenges. And as I am trying really learn Go, I felt like I should backfill the old challenges throughout 2023.

- To create stubs for solving for instance, 2022/1, run:
go run main.go gen 2022 1(alsoginstead ofgen) - To run solution for the same, run:
go run main.go solve 2022 1(alsorun,rorsinstead ofsolve)
Note: The additional commands (i.e. run, g etc) are there because when I am rapidly testing solutions, I have often typed those and failed. So totally for my convenience that one.
Note, empty input.txt is create after gen (or g) command for now. You will need to copy/paste the input data to the file.
What version of Go do I need to use for these?
I am using embed and generics to solve problems. So at least go 1.18 is needed to run these.
