I’m using this starter kit for the scaffolding so I can simply run mix test for the example and mix d01.p2 to run the solution for my specific data set.

I’ve got the following code that passes p1 completely and the p2 example but not my specific data set. I can’t find any bugs but the result fails for being “too high” and I’m really not sure why this is not being accepted. I have the debug output for each step and running through it manually everything seems right to me.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on what I’m missing?

    I arrived at the following solution for Day #1:

    https://pastebin.com/u1SYJ4tY
    defmodule AdventOfCode.Day01 do
      def part1(args) do
        number_regex = ~r/([0-9])/
    
        args
        |> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
        |> Enum.map(&first_and_last_number(&1, number_regex))
        |> Enum.map(&number_list_to_integer/1)
        |> Enum.sum()
      end
    
      def part2(args) do
        number_regex = ~r/(?=(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))/
    
        args
        |> String.split(~r/\n/, trim: true)
        |> Enum.map(&first_and_last_number(&1, number_regex))
        |> Enum.map(fn number -> Enum.map(number, &replace_word_with_number/1) end)
        |> Enum.map(&number_list_to_integer/1)
        |> Enum.sum()
      end
    
      defp first_and_last_number(string, regex) do
        matches = Regex.scan(regex, string)
        [_, first] = List.first(matches)
        [_, last] = List.last(matches)
    
        [first, last]
      end
    
      defp number_list_to_integer(list) do
        list
        |> List.to_string()
        |> String.to_integer()
      end
    
      defp replace_word_with_number(string) do
        numbers = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"]
    
        String.replace(string, numbers, fn x ->
          (Enum.find_index(numbers, &(&1 == x)) + 1)
          |> Integer.to_string()
        end)
      end
    end
