Day 2: Red-Nosed Reports

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://blocks.programming.dev/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    C

    First went through the input in one pass, number by number, but unfortunately that wouldn’t fly for part 2.

    Code 
    #include "common.h"

static int
issafe(int *lvs, int n, int skip)
{
	int safe=1, asc=0,prev=0, ns=0,i;

	for (i=0; safe && i<n; i++) {
		if (i == skip)
			{ ns = 1; continue; }
		if (i-ns > 0)
			safe = safe && lvs[i] != prev &&
			    lvs[i] > prev-4 && lvs[i] < prev+4;
		if (i-ns == 1)
			asc = lvs[i] > prev;
		if (i-ns > 1)
			safe = safe && (lvs[i] > prev) == asc;

		prev = lvs[i];
	}

	return safe;
}

int
main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
	char buf[64], *rest, *tok;
	int p1=0,p2=0, lvs[16],n=0, i;

	if (argc > 1)
		DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));

	while ((rest = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin))) {
		for (n=0; (tok = strsep(&rest, " ")); n++) {
			assert(n < (int)LEN(lvs));
			lvs[n] = (int)strtol(tok, NULL, 10);
		}

		for (i=-1; i<n; i++)
			if (issafe(lvs, n, i))
				{ p1 += i == -1; p2++; break; }
	}

	printf("02: %d %d\n", p1, p2);
}

      What is this coding style? The function type, name and open brace placement made me think GNU at first, but the code in the body doesn’t look like GCS at all.
