Here is my first attempt, which uses specific reduces for the task at hand: advent-of-code/elixir/lib/aoc22/day01.ex at b4357a22f3a53bb46e4a98852eef4049ab1b1ec6 · woolfred/advent-of-code · GitHub

Afterwards I refactored it a bit, which makes it less efficient for Part 1, but favours readability:

There is a leaderboard from last year that we can reuse. (shared with users of Erlang Forums ) /cc @bjorng

The entry code is:

I used a very naive approach, I believe using chunk can turn out to be a better solution

Part 1

String.split(input, "\n\n")
|> Stream.map(fn(x) ->
  String.split(x)
  |> Stream.map(&String.to_integer/1)
  |> Enum.sum()
end)
|> Enum.max()

Part 2

String.split(input, "\n\n")
|> Stream.map(fn(x) ->
  String.split(x)
  |> Stream.map(&String.to_integer/1)
  |> Enum.sum()
end)
|> Enum.sort(:desc)
|> Stream.take(3)
|> Enum.sum()
