I can't tell from the description what the actual puzzle is...
Is it that I need to generate a program that generates the output 19690720 when run through the function that was written in part 1?
Day 2 part 2, what is it actually asking? I can't tell from the description what the actual puzzle is... Is it that I need to generate a program that generates the output 19690720 when run through the function that was written in part 1?

In the first problem they told you what numbers to put in position 1 and 2. In the second problem you want to find the specific numbers for position 1 and 2 that yield the desired output.
My reading comprehension obviously needs some work :P

you need to find value of memory[1] & memory[2] where memory is the program from first part, which gets you 19690720
Feel like a bit of an idiot.
I'm trying to use J and still struggle with the second part of day 1. Any other J users?
It looks similar to what I though I had to write, but I will have to reread it and the documentation to understand it well.
And day 2 seems a bit too complex with my meager J knowledge. OTOH with the J interpreter for android and its terseness it seems the most suited language for programming on a phone, so I will probably stick to it.

I'm sure theres a better way to approach some of these.

Thanks, five minutes to write the code and get an answer, half an hour staring at it wondering what on earth I was actually supposed to do.... Feel like a bit of an idiot.

Learning new environments can be painful so it’s good it starts off easy. I’m trying to solve them with Swift Playgrounds on the iPad, for example. And I can’t figure out how to create a simple text file for the data.
I solved the first part using the examples. Swift is nice. func calcFuel(_ mass:Int) -> Int {mass / 3 - 2} let z0 = massList.map(calcFuel).reduce(0, +) or simply ... let z1 = massList.map({$0 / 3 - 2}).reduce(0, +) Any idea how to read the data on the iPad?
Many of the comments are about the event as a whole, but I'd like to commend the author for the day 1 puzzle, which I think is very cleverly written. Many people (including myself) use these as an opportunity to try out learning a new language, and the first puzzle does a good job of making sure you know enough basic operations for some of the puzzles coming up. The puzzle itself wasn't very difficult, you could do i…
