@@ -19,3 +19,4 @@ Day | Name | Type of Algo & Notes
11 | Space Police | - More Intcode stuff... <br> - __2D Array/Slice manipulation__ and a bit of maths/graphing <br> - Implemented a __RotateGrid__ algo
12 | The N-Body Problem | I like to call this a _(harmonic) frequency_ algo. Finding the harmonic frequency of multiple bodies/items and then finding the Least Common Multiple of those frequencies will tell you when all the bodies have returned to their initial state. <br> - I've used this approach for a leetcode problem about prisoners in jail cells too
13 | Care Package | Intcode again! It's basically every other day... <br> - part1: 2D array manipulation again <br> - part2: holy algo, some logic to basically play Bricks game. <br> - This is more of a design question for how you manage state
14 | Space Stoichiometry | __Weighted Graph and Breadth First Traversals__ <br> - Because not all of the products have a quantity of 1, it complicates the graph's data model. I ended up mapping the product/chemical name to a map of its stoichiometry where the product's number is positive & reactants were negative. <br> - part2: not just a simple division because of "extra byproducts" of generating each piece of fuel. I just let this brute force thing run for ~30 seconds...
