1//! # Crossed Wires
2//!
3//! The input follow some implicit rules that can be used to simplify our approach:
4//!
5//! * Wires cross only at right angles to each other, so we only need to consider horizontal lines
6//!   when moving vertically and vice-versa.
7//! * There is only a single vertical line at a given x coordinates and vice-versa.
8//!
9//! This makes [`BTreeMap`] a great choice to store horizontal or vertical line segments as there
10//! are no collisions. The [`range`] method can lookup all line segments contained between two
11//! coordinates to check for intersections.
12//!
13//! First we build two maps, one vertical and one horizontal, of each line segment for the first
14//! wire. Then we trace the steps of the second wire, looking for any intersections. We calculate
15//! both part one and part two at the same time, by also including the distance so far
16//! from the starting point of each lines.
