--- Day 4: Secure Container ---
|
|
|
|
You arrive at the Venus fuel depot only to discover it's protected by a password. The Elves had written the password on a sticky note, but someone threw it out.
|
|
|
|
However, they do remember a few key facts about the password:
|
|
|
|
It is a six-digit number.
|
|
The value is within the range given in your puzzle input.
|
|
Two adjacent digits are the same (like 22 in 122345).
|
|
Going from left to right, the digits never decrease; they only ever increase or stay the same (like 111123 or 135679).
|
|
|
|
Other than the range rule, the following are true:
|
|
|
|
111111 meets these criteria (double 11, never decreases).
|
|
223450 does not meet these criteria (decreasing pair of digits 50).
|
|
123789 does not meet these criteria (no double).
|
|
|
|
How many different passwords within the range given in your puzzle input meet these criteria?
|
|
|
|
--- Part Two ---
|
|
|
|
An Elf just remembered one more important detail: the two adjacent matching digits are not part of a larger group of matching digits.
|
|
|
|
Given this additional criterion, but still ignoring the range rule, the following are now true:
|
|
|
|
112233 meets these criteria because the digits never decrease and all repeated digits are exactly two digits long.
|
|
123444 no longer meets the criteria (the repeated 44 is part of a larger group of 444).
|
|
111122 meets the criteria (even though 1 is repeated more than twice, it still contains a double 22).
|
|
|
|
How many different passwords within the range given in your puzzle input meet all of the criteria?
