<article><h2>--- Day 2: Dive! ---</h2><p>Now, you need to figure out how to <span title="Tank, I need a pilot program for a B212 helicopter.">pilot this thing</span>.</p>
|
|
<p>It seems like the submarine can take a series of commands like <code>forward 1</code>, <code>down 2</code>, or <code>up 3</code>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>forward X</code> increases the horizontal position by <code>X</code> units.</li>
|
|
<li><code>down X</code> <em>increases</em> the depth by <code>X</code> units.</li>
|
|
<li><code>up X</code> <em>decreases</em> the depth by <code>X</code> units.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Note that since you're on a submarine, <code>down</code> and <code>up</code> affect your <em>depth</em>, and so they have the opposite result of what you might expect.</p>
|
|
<p>The submarine seems to already have a planned course (your puzzle input). You should probably figure out where it's going. For example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>forward 5
|
|
down 5
|
|
forward 8
|
|
up 3
|
|
down 8
|
|
forward 2
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Your horizontal position and depth both start at <code>0</code>. The steps above would then modify them as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>forward 5</code> adds <code>5</code> to your horizontal position, a total of <code>5</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>down 5</code> adds <code>5</code> to your depth, resulting in a value of <code>5</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>forward 8</code> adds <code>8</code> to your horizontal position, a total of <code>13</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>up 3</code> decreases your depth by <code>3</code>, resulting in a value of <code>2</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>down 8</code> adds <code>8</code> to your depth, resulting in a value of <code>10</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>forward 2</code> adds <code>2</code> to your horizontal position, a total of <code>15</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>After following these instructions, you would have a horizontal position of <code>15</code> and a depth of <code>10</code>. (Multiplying these together produces <code><em>150</em></code>.)</p>
|
|
<p>Calculate the horizontal position and depth you would have after following the planned course. <em>What do you get if you multiply your final horizontal position by your final depth?</em></p>
|
|
</article>
|
|
<p>Your puzzle answer was <code>1727835</code>.</p><article><h2 id="part2">--- Part Two ---</h2><p>Based on your calculations, the planned course doesn't seem to make any sense. You find the submarine manual and discover that the process is actually slightly more complicated.</p>
|
|
<p>In addition to horizontal position and depth, you'll also need to track a third value, <em>aim</em>, which also starts at <code>0</code>. The commands also mean something entirely different than you first thought:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>down X</code> <em>increases</em> your aim by <code>X</code> units.</li>
|
|
<li><code>up X</code> <em>decreases</em> your aim by <code>X</code> units.</li>
|
|
<li><code>forward X</code> does two things:<ul>
|
|
<li>It increases your horizontal position by <code>X</code> units.</li>
|
|
<li>It increases your depth by your aim <em>multiplied by</em> <code>X</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Again note that since you're on a submarine, <code>down</code> and <code>up</code> do the opposite of what you might expect: "down" means aiming in the positive direction.</p>
|
|
<p>Now, the above example does something different:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>forward 5</code> adds <code>5</code> to your horizontal position, a total of <code>5</code>. Because your aim is <code>0</code>, your depth does not change.</li>
|
|
<li><code>down 5</code> adds <code>5</code> to your aim, resulting in a value of <code>5</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>forward 8</code> adds <code>8</code> to your horizontal position, a total of <code>13</code>. Because your aim is <code>5</code>, your depth increases by <code>8*5=40</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>up 3</code> decreases your aim by <code>3</code>, resulting in a value of <code>2</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>down 8</code> adds <code>8</code> to your aim, resulting in a value of <code>10</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>forward 2</code> adds <code>2</code> to your horizontal position, a total of <code>15</code>. Because your aim is <code>10</code>, your depth increases by <code>2*10=20</code> to a total of <code>60</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>After following these new instructions, you would have a horizontal position of <code>15</code> and a depth of <code>60</code>. (Multiplying these produces <code><em>900</em></code>.)</p>
|
|
<p>Using this new interpretation of the commands, calculate the horizontal position and depth you would have after following the planned course. <em>What do you get if you multiply your final horizontal position by your final depth?</em></p>
