TidyX 87: Advent of Code – Laternfish

This week, Ellis Hughes and I decide to try our hand at some of the coding challenges put on by the annual Advent of Code event.

For those that don’t know, Advent of Code is a fun, holiday event, where the founder, Eric Wastl, creates 25 straight days of puzzles and brain teasers to be solved via code. The event is coding language agnostic (some use R, some use Python, some use other languages) and is a lot of fun. If you search on Twitter you will find a large number of people sharing solutions and ideas.

This week, we go over code to solve the Day 6 puzzle about laternfish.
