Module day12 

Garden Groups

Solves both parts simultaneously by flood filling each region.

For part one we increment the perimeter for each neighboring plot belonging to a different region or out of bounds.

For part two we count each plot on the edge as either 0, 1 or 2 sides then divide by 2. An edge plot contributes nothing if it has 2 edge neighbors facing the same way, one if it has a single neighbor and two if it has no neighbors.

For example, considering the right edge:

    ...        ...        .#. > 1
    .#. > 2    .#. > 1    .#. > 0
    ...        .#. > 1    .#. > 1
