Module aoc::util

Utility modules to handle common recurring Advent of Code patterns.

Modules

• ansi
  ANSI escape codes
• bitset
  Add biterator method that treats an integer as a set, iterating over each element where the respective bit is set. For example 1101 would return 0, 2 and 3.
• grid
  Fast 2 dimensional Grid backed by a single vec. This module is designed to work with Point.
• hash
  Provides fast HashSet and HashMap implementations based on a simplified implementation of the fast Rust C hash algorithm also used by Firefox. By default, Rust’s HashMap and HashSet use a DDoS resistant but slower hashing algorithm. FxHasher is much faster (between 2x to 5x from my testing).
• heap
  Min heap more suitable for algorithms such as Dijkstra and A* than Rust’s default max heap. Splits the sorting key and value, so that you can order items without having to implement Ord on the value type.
• integer
  Combines common operators and constants 0, 1 and 10 to enable generic methods on integer types.
• iter
  Add a chunk method to Iterator that duplicates the functionality of the unstable array_chunks method.
• math
  Extended mathematical operations.
• md5
  MD5 hash algorithm
• parse
  Extracts and parses signed and unsigned integers from surrounding text and whitespace.
• point
  Comprehensive 2 dimensional point implementation. This class is designed to work together with the Grid class.
• slice
  Extension methods for slices.
• thread
  Utility methods to spawn a number of scoped threads equals to the number of cores on the machine. Unlike normal threads, scoped threads can borrow data from their environment.
