Let’s start by adding a hash function that’ll take an input string and return the hexdecimal representation of its MD5 hash. From there, we can create an infinite sequence of hash values

First, let’s capture the input for today’s challenge in a text file, say Day03Input.txt. Then, let’s create a module to capture the common steps between both parts of the challenge. There’s really

Tweet ps. look out for all my other solutions for Advent of Code challenges here.   Day 2 See details of the challenge here. Let’s start by capturing the model and input data in a module. Since I’m armed with the hindsight of having seen both parts of today’s challenge I’ve refactored the common logic into a solve function:
