Subject: Make day 13 much much quicker
X-Git-Url: https://git.sommitrealweird.co.uk/advent-of-code-2021.git/commitdiff_plain/39130f89f58490298b833e8f9e0036a4844f4a3e?ds=inline;hp=f1b1e23447bb6afd95256acfa9288a8b2680b8ee

Make day 13 much much quicker

  - Use an associative array rather than an indexed array
  - Work from the fold outwards rather than the edge inwards
