Solving day 1 of Advent of Code 2022 in JavaScript

Sorry for the potato quality, it's still watchable so I've uploaded the video anyway. I've also updated my recording settings to improve the video quality for the next days!

Advent of Code is a website that releases a new programming puzzle every day between the 1st and the 25th of December.

Have fun!

Wonderful video, at first I got upset and then sad because I could not solve it on my own, but the way you structured the code and explained taught me a lot of things! Thanks a lot

Nice approach man! I didn't know how to parse the input as I'd never used node:fs before. You opened the door, much appreciated!

I am starting my journey in javascript (went through a quick course a few weeks ago) and I am VERY thankful to have found you! Since I don't really know how to code, Advent of Code seemed like a good idea to learn. Off to a good start thanks to YOU! 💜

[RichardSouth]

Thank you so much for this - I'm very new to JS and had no idea - still not sure where I was going wrong, but you taught me a TON in this video. Looking forward to learning more with Day 2. (so very much behind).

Great video thank you very much. Glad that I found your comment on reddit and looking forward to the next AOC youtube walktrough videos!

I know I am a bit late to the party but I love the video and explanations, thank you for the help!

It's that time of the year again. Nice clean solution.

[Kainpets]

This is just what I've been looking for. Thanks a lot!

I did JavaScript for around a year about a year ago, but I haven't touched it in a while and forget 99%, so I thought advent of code would be a good way back into it. This video helped me a lot to get back into how to write JS again.

really cool and well explained as well !. I'm actually learning code and videos like this are so precious. (Are you french or something ? i can ear an accent :) ) Thanks a lot and see you tomorrow ^^

A couple questions:
1. Why am I getting the error "elf.split('\n").map(Number); /// TypeError: elf.split is not a function?
2. Why do you declare const calories twice?

Thanks, good job on your solution.

[SoreBrain]

The resolution seems pretty low, looking forward to the next videos.

Great video, you explained your solution well. One thing I noticed about your files is that you used the .mjs file extension. Is this any different compared to just using .js?

[timomcgeer]

@Thibpat glad you back! :) Let's see how far we get this year. 🤞

hello. i have a problem.
When I use .split("\n\n") my array will switch to the object data type and i can't swich them to Number. Is that normal??
can you help me.

[camcoem]

thanks so much for the video! Just one question, when I try to run the code I get a node error, that elf.split("\n") is not recognized as a function. Any ideas where the error might be? I am using the latest node version :)

tried doing this but it returned no value
