Algorithms

One of the benefits of engaging in online communities, at least communities of other coders, is that it gives me a ton of opportunities to learn something new. Since my family and I recently moved to the Upstate area of South Carolina, in addition to great weather and plenty of places to hike, I managed to find a (relatively) new meetup group: Code and Data Science Group of South Carolina. If you’re anywhere near the area, I’d encourage you to come join us for a meetup!

Advent of Code 2021 - Day 1

It’s that time of year again! Just like last year, I’ll be posting my solutions to the Advent of Code puzzles. This year, I’ll be solving the puzzles in Julia. I’ll post my solutions and code to GitHub as well. I had a blast with AoC last year, first in R, then as a set of exercises for learning Rust, so I’m really excited to see what this year’s puzzles will bring.

It’s one of those coding questions that shows up in some form or another on a lot of coding puzzle/interview prep sites. If you haven’t seen it before (like I hadn’t), the problem statement is as follows (this description comes from LeetCode): Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest strictly increasing subsequence.
