Continuing on from my last post, I am posting my succesful output for the Day 2 Part 1 below.
A full explanation of Day 2 part 1 can be found at: https://adventofcode.com/2018/day/2 and the input can be found
at: https://adventofcode.com/2018/day/2/input
A brief description of this exercise is that you receive a sequence of strings.
I know it's late, but I really love the advent of code theme each year to find some project ideas to go out and code something and push myself.
I had the intentions of completing the AOC 2018 before the new year, but I've got 2 young kids (1yo and 4yo), so most nights I just want to sleep.
I've been looking at this on my half hourly commute each day before and after work.
So whilst doing this, I found not many people had posted what they had done and in previous years.
Hi Everyone!
As you know Advent of Code 2018 is in full swing! Till the 25th of December 2018 each day 2 programming problems to sharpen your programming skills!
And now we're ready to present great prizes for Members of InterSystems Global Masters Advocate Hub!
Hey Developers!
Advent of Code 2018 is over! Thanks for participating in our small but productive COS marathon!
And now we're pleased to introduce the winners and distribute all the prizes!
Big applause goes to these winners:
Fabian Haupt (w/ repo: github.com/kazamatzuri/AoC)
Bert Sarens (w/ repo: bitbucket.org/bertsarens/aoc2018/)
Dmitry Maslennikov (w/ repo: github.com/daimor/AdventOfCode)
Hi Community!
We try a new approach to Developer Community YouTube Videos called "Coding Talks"!
Coding Talks is a short video in which the developer demonstrates a particular feature or functionality of InterSystems Data Platforms which he/she uses to in coding. Typical format: the face on side and editor with ObjectScript.
Check this video I made by myself participating in Advent of Code 2018 and coding with InterSystems ObjectScript in VSCode.

Are you ready for the next Advent of Code this year?
Just a few days left, the first puzzles will unlock on December 1st at midnight Eastern Time.
Take part in the Winter Champions friendly competition on InterSystems Global Masters AdvocateHub! Let's have some fun on sunny and snowy slopes!
Hey guys!
Thanks for participating in our small but productive COS marathon on behalf Adventofcode 2017!
The leaderboard is here:
And we are ready to announce the winner but need your public repositories with COS solutions inside. Please share it below in comments.
We have results!
