Day 24: Crossed Wires

Megathread guidelines

Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Haskell bits and pieces

The nice thing about Haskell's laziness (assuming you use Data.Map rather than Data.Map.Strict) is that the laziness can do a ton of the work for you - you might've spotted a few Haskell solutions in earlier days' threads that use this kind of trick (eg for tabling/memoisation). Here's my evaluation function:

eval l =
  let
    v = l & Map.map (\case
                       Const x -> x
                       And a b -> v Map.! a && v Map.! b
                       Or a b  -> v Map.! a || v Map.! b
                       Xor a b -> v Map.! a /= v Map.! b)
  in v

For part 2, we know what the graph should look like (it's just a binary adder); I think this is a maximal common subgraph problem, but I'm still reading around that at the mo. I'd love to know if there's a trick to this.

Thank you for showing this trick, I knew Haskell was lazy but this one blew my mind again.

Yeah, I remember when I saw this for the first time. It's astonishing how powerful lazy evaluation can be at times.
