#+TITLE: Advent of Code #+STARTUP: indent #+OPTIONS: num:nil ^:nil d:nil #+PROPERTY: header-args :cache yes #+DRAWERS: HIDDEN * Day 1: Not Quite Lisp Santa was hoping for a white Christmas, but his weather machine's "snow" function is powered by stars, and he's fresh out! To save Christmas, he needs you to collect *fifty stars* by December 25th. Collect stars by helping Santa solve puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on each day in the advent calendar; the second puzzle is unlocked when you complete the first. Each puzzle grants *one star*. Good luck! Here's an easy puzzle to warm you up. Santa is trying to deliver presents in a large apartment building, but he can't find the right floor - the directions he got are a little confusing. He starts on the ground floor (floor =0=) and then follows the instructions one character at a time. An opening parenthesis, =(=, means he should go up one floor, and a closing parenthesis, =)=, means he should go down one floor. The apartment building is very tall, and the basement is very deep; he will never find the top or bottom floors. For example: - =(())= and =()()= both result in floor 0. - =(((= and =(()(()(= both result in floor 3. - =))(((((= also results in floor 3. - =())= and =))(= both result in floor -1 (the first basement level). - =)))= and =)())())= both result in floor -3. To what floor do the instructions take Santa? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- :HIDDEN: #+name: 1-input #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
