After cloning this repo, be sure to npm install to fetch the required dependencies.

When starting on a new problem, for example "Sonar Sweep", run the following command to set up the files necessary:

npm run init sonar-sweep

This command will create a data file in the ./data directory for your new problem, into which you can paste the data for this day's problem. In this example case, the file would be ./data/sonar-sweep.txt.

The initialization also creates a file in the ./solutions directory for the problem, with exported functions for both Part 1 and Part 2 of the day's puzzle, both of which pull data in from the data file. In this example case, the file would be ./solutions/sonar-sweep.js.

To run your solution code, use the following command:

npm run solve sonar-sweep

This will run both Part 1 and Part 2 and print the solutions for each, using babel to transpile the solution file.
