Here’s my Kotlin version for Part 2.
fun main() { var currentDialPosition = 50 var password = 0 val input = getInput(1) val turns = parseInput2(input) turns.forEach { if (it.second > 0) { password += it.second } var newDialPosition = currentDialPosition + it.first if (newDialPosition < 0) { newDialPosition += 100 if (currentDialPosition != 0) { password++ } } else if (newDialPosition > 99) { newDialPosition %= 100 password++ } else if (newDialPosition == 0) { password++ } currentDialPosition = newDialPosition } println(password) } fun parseInput2(input: String): List<Pair<Int, Int>> = input .split("\n") .filter { it.isNotBlank() } .map { val direction = it.first() val number = it.slice(1..<it.length).toInt() val clicks = number % 100 val fullTurns = number / 100 if (direction == 'L') { clicks * -1 to fullTurns } else { clicks to fullTurns } }
