Advent of Code 2019-05 with R & JavaScript

Solving Advent of Code 2019-05 with R and JavaScript.

[Disclaimer] Obviously, this post contains a big spoiler about Advent of Code, as it gives solutions for solving day 5.

[Disclaimer bis] I’m no JavaScript expert so this might not be the perfect solution. TBH, that’s also the case for the R solution.

About the JavaScript code

The JavaScript code has been written in the same RMarkdown as the R code. It runs thanks to the {bubble} package: https://github.com/ColinFay/bubble
