+# %NAME%
+
+Welcome to the Advent of Code[^aoc] Kotlin project created by [%ACTOR%][github] using the [Advent of Code Kotlin Template][template] delivered by JetBrains.
+
+In this repository, %ACTOR% is about to provide solutions for the puzzles using [Kotlin][kotlin] language.
+
+If you're stuck with Kotlin-specific questions or anything related to this template, check out the following resources:

+
+[^aoc]:
+    [Advent of Code][aoc] – An annual event of Christmas-oriented programming challenges started December 2015.
+    Every year since then, beginning on the first day of December, a programming puzzle is published every day for twenty-five days.
+    You can solve the puzzle and provide an answer using the language of your choice.

+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Advent of Code Kotlin Template
+
+[Advent of Code][aoc] – an annual event in December since 2015.
+Every year since then, with the first day of December, a programming puzzles contest is published every day for twenty-five days.
+A set of Christmas-oriented challenges provides any input you have to use to answer using the language of your choice.
+We offer you a template prepared to use with [Kotlin][kotlin] language within this repository.
+
+![][file:cover]
+
+## Live Streams
+
+Join us as we solve the Advent of Code challenges live on stream!
+Follow along to see step-by-step solutions, participate in problem-solving, and learn new strategies to tackle the puzzles.
+Whether you're stuck on a particular problem or just looking to improve your Kotlin skills, our live streams are here to help.
+
+[Watch the live streams here!][youtube-playlist]
+
+[![][file:livestream]][youtube-playlist]
+
+## Workflow
+**Advent of Code Kotlin Template** is a particular type of GitHub repository that lets you speed up the setup phase and start writing your AoC solutions immediately.
+
+The general idea is straightforward – to create a new project based on this template, you need to log in to your GitHub account and use the **Use this template** green button.
+And remember – **do not fork it!**
+
+After creating a new project based on this template in your account, a dedicated GitHub Actions workflow will start and clean up the code from redundant files.
+It will also personalize code to use your username and project name in namespaces and Gradle properties.
+How cool is that?
+
+You can clone it within the IntelliJ IDEA whenever the [@actions-user][actions-user] actor pushes the second commit to your repository.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+>
+> Right after opening the project in IntelliJ IDEA, verify if you use at least **Java 11** as Project SDK.
+> To do that, visit [Project Structure Settings][docs-project-structure] (<kbd>⌘ Cmd</kbd><kbd>;</kbd> on macOS or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>Alt</kbd><kbd>Shift</kbd><kbd>S</kbd> on Windows/Linux).
+
+From now on, everything's in your hands!
+Join the [Advent of Code][aoc] contest to solve the *Day 01* as soon as it is published.
+
+Copy the `Day01.kt` solution file for the following days and increment the day number.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> Remember to join the Kotlin contest!
+>
+> To do that, edit your project's _About_ section with ⚙️ icon and add the `aoc-2024-in-kotlin` topic to your project.
+>
+> **We will find your repository and count you in our giveaway.**
+
+## Setup
+
+After you create a new project based on the current template repository using the **Use this template** button, a bare minimal scaffold will appear in your GitHub account with the following structure:
+
+```
+.
+├── README.md               README file
+├── build.gradle.kts        Gradle configuration created with Kotlin DSL
+├── settings.gradle.kts     Gradle project settings
+├── gradle*                 Gradle wrapper files
+└── src
+    ├── Day01.kt            An empty implementation for the first AoC day
+    ├── Utils.kt            A set of utility methods shared across your days
+    │                       
+    │                       (create those files manually)
+    ├── Day01.txt           An empty file for the Day 01 input data
+    └── Day01_test.txt      An optional Day 01 test input data used for checks
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> All task input files (`src/*.txt`) are excluded from the repository with `.gitignore` – we should not post them publicly, as [Eric Wastl requested for](https://twitter.com/ericwastl/status/1465805354214830081).
+
+When the first puzzle appears, go to the `Day01.kt`, and for each `part1` and `part2` function, provide an algorithm implementation using the `input` data loaded from the `src/Day01.txt` file.
+This input data is common for both parts, and you can find it at the bottom of each day on the [Advent of Code][aoc] page.
+
+To read the input data, you can go with the `readInput(name: String)` utility method provided in the [`Utils.kt`][file:utils] file, like:
+
+```kotlin
+fun main() {
+    fun part1(input: List<String>): Int {
+        return input.size
+    }
+
+    val input = readInput("Day01")
+    println(part1(input))
+}
+```
+
+## Running
+
+To call the algorithm you're implementing, click the green Play button next to the `fun main()` definition.
+
+![img.png](.github/readme/run.png)
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+>
+> Create relevant files Before running tasks or tests, like: `src/Day01.txt` or `src/Day01_test.txt`.
+
+The [`Utils.kt`][file:utils] file also contains the `String.md5()` method for generating MD5 hash out of the given string and expects more helper functions for the sake of the [KISS principle][kiss].
+
+Each puzzle describes some test conditions, a small portion of the information that helps check if the produced value for the given test input is valid.
+To handle that case, you can put such an input into a separate file and perform a check against the output, like:
+
+```kotlin
+fun main() {
+    // ...
+    
+    val testInput = readInput("Day01_test")
+    check(part1(testInput) == 13)
+}
+```
+
+The current approach of providing both `part1` and `part2` solutions within the single `Day##.kt` file may sometimes bring a disadvantage due to the first solution calculation when we expect to work on the second part only.
+With simple cases that don't consume too much of your time and resources that can be almost unnoticeable, but when the solution takes seconds, it is worth considering breaking the daily solution into two separated pieces, like `Day07_part1.kt` and `Day07_part2.kt`.
+
+The final result of your algorithm will be printed on the screen so that you can pass it to the Advent of Code website.
+
+To go with the next day, place the `Day02.txt` file into the `src` with relevant input data and create a `Day02.kt` file with a similar code scaffold:
+
+```kotlin
+fun main() {
+    fun part1(input: List<String>): Int {
+        return 0
+    }
+
+    fun part2(input: List<String>): Int {
+        return 0
+    }
+
+    val input = readInput("Day02")
+    println(part1(input))
+    println(part2(input))
+}
+```

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
