Advent of Code is a yearly coding event, providing coding puzzles every day of December leading up until Christmas. Each daily puzzle comes in two parts, awarding a star with each complete part.

I have heard many good things about Rust and I wanted to try it out. Plus, this will give me something to do during the downtime while at my folks for the holidays.
Absolutely not! I am a Rust beginner that is balancing "learning the correct way of doing things" while also trying to get the puzzles done each day. As this goes along, I hope to pick up more about the language and write Rust in a way that wouldn't scare a professional. But it might also just be hot garbage the whole way through. You have been warned.
Even though I won't claim that the Rust is any good, some of the solution approaches might be ok. I have included a write-up of (most of) the problems in each day's folders. If you're stuck, this might provide some language-agnostic help.
