Advent of Code 2023 - Day 6 - Salesforce Apex

Lot's of ways to approach this, I implemented the iterative approach for part 1, stepping through each variance in the range. 

Part 2 was a much larger range to search against and the iterative approach wouldn't work given CPU limits. Instead I used a binary search to find the low and high ends of the range that meet the criteria, and then find the difference for the possible solutions. 

For fun I also implemented a straight math solution using a quadratic formula. This is by far the fastest solution.

Advent of Code 2023 - Day 3 - Salesforce Apex

Day 3 was traversing a grid of data. Finding certain coordinates based on criteria, and then exploring adjacent coordinates for values. A nice slightly difficult challenge for only Day 3.

Day 2 was slightly less complicated than Day 1. Some string parsing and map collections helped with Part 1. Part 2 was similar parsing with a few edits to find the power of the minimum cube values.
