# --- Day 2: Password Philosophy ---
#
# Your flight departs in a few days from the coastal airport; the easiest way down to the coast from here is via toboggan.
#
# The shopkeeper at the North Pole Toboggan Rental Shop is having a bad day. "Something's wrong with our computers; we can't log in!" You ask if you can take a look.
#
# Their password database seems to be a little corrupted: some of the passwords wouldn't have been allowed by the Official Toboggan Corporate Policy that was in effect when they were chosen.
#
# To try to debug the problem, they have created a list (your puzzle input) of passwords (according to the corrupted database) and the corporate policy when that password was set.
#
# For example, suppose you have the following list:
#
# 1-3 a: abcde
# 1-3 b: cdefg
# 2-9 c: ccccccccc
#
# Each line gives the password policy and then the password. The password policy indicates the lowest and highest number of times a given letter must appear for the password to be valid. For example, 1-3 a means that the password must contain a at least 1 time and at most 3 times.
#
# In the above example, 2 passwords are valid. The middle password, cdefg, is not; it contains no instances of b, but needs at least 1. The first and third passwords are valid: they contain one a or nine c, both within the limits of their respective policies.
#
# How many passwords are valid according to their policies?

password = stri_replace_all_regex(password, sprintf("[^%s]", letter), ""),
ct = nchar(password),
good = ((ct >= min) & (ct <= max))
) %>%
count(good)
# 02-02 -------------------------------------------------------------------
# --- Part Two ---
#
# While it appears you validated the passwords correctly, they don't seem to be what the Official Toboggan Corporate Authentication System # is expecting.
#
# The shopkeeper suddenly realizes that he just accidentally explained the password policy rules from his old job at the sled rental place # down the street! The Official Toboggan Corporate Policy actually works a little differently.
#
# Each policy actually describes two positions in the password, where 1 means the first character, 2 means the second character, and so # on. (Be careful; Toboggan Corporate Policies have no concept of "index zero"!) Exactly one of these positions must contain the given # letter. Other occurrences of the letter are irrelevant for the purposes of policy enforcement.
#
# Given the same example list from above:
#
# 1-3 a: abcde is valid: position 1 contains a and position 3 does not.
# 1-3 b: cdefg is invalid: neither position 1 nor position 3 contains b.
# 2-9 c: ccccccccc is invalid: both position 2 and position 9 contain c.
# How many passwords are valid according to the new interpretation of the policies?
