3//! Just like [`Day 18`] reverse engineering the code is essential. The entire input can be reduced
4//! to only the very first number.

6//! ```none
7//!     set b $NUMBER       if a == 0 {
8//!     set c b                 b = $NUMBER;
9//!     jnz a 2                 c = b;
10//!     jnz 1 5             } else {
11//!     mul b 100               b = 100000 + 100 * $NUMBER;
12//!     sub b -100000           c = b + 17000;
13//!     set c b             }

15//!     set f 1             for b in (b..=c).step_by(17) {
16//!     set d 2                 f = 1;
17//!     set e 2                 for d in 2..b {
18//!     set g d                     for e in 2..b {
19//!     mul g e                         if d * e == b {
20//!     sub g b                             f = 0;
21//!     jnz g 2                         }

34//!     sub g c                 }

36//!     jnz 1 3

41//! ## Part One
42//!
43//! The number of `mul` operations is the product of the two inner loops from 2 to `n` exclusive.
44//!
45//! ## Part Two
46//!
47//! Counts the number of composite numbers starting from `100,000 + 100 * n` checking the next
48//! 1,000 numbers in steps of 17. The raw code take `O(n²)` complexity for each number so emulating
49//! this directly would take at least 10⁵.10⁵.10³ = 10¹³ = 10,000,000,000,000 steps.
