After Day 15 it was a relief to find that Day 16 was relatively straightforward.
I started by putting all implementations of all instructions in a separate
Machinemodule, adding a code example for each instruction. That way, I could run the tests and be reasonably sure that I didn’t have any silly bugs in the instructions before starting the work on the puzzle solving code itself.Here is my solution.
