Advent of Code is an annual event that challenges developers with daily programming puzzles during the holiday season. Each day, a new problem is unlocked, and participants can solve it in any programming language they prefer. The event encourages learning and community engagement.
This repository contains solutions for all 25 challenges from the Advent of Code 2017. The solutions are organized by day, and you can find implementations in both Java and Kotlin. The goal is to provide clear, efficient, and well-documented code that can serve as a reference for others.
- Java: A versatile programming language that is widely used in various applications.
- Kotlin: A modern programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and is known for its concise syntax and safety features.
To get started with this repository, you will need to clone it to your local machine. You can do this using the following command:
