Advent of Code in Go and Zig (Day 6)

Made it on the leaderboard! Not too shabby.
I solve AoC problems in Go first, and then port the solution to Zig after. The Zig section begins at 13:40.
All my solutions to AoC can be found here: github.com/luk...

in zig a ternary expression can look like: `return if (expression) 0 else 1;`. you had something like `return if (expression) 0; else 1;` with an added semicolon there.

zig builds in debug mode by default, so you don't have to pass any compiler flags to turn it on. i was a little surprised there were no warnings for printing an undefined. i found a pretty old issue for this. github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/211 . also found out that in safe builds (debug, release-safe) zig will init undefined values to 0xaaaa... which would be 2863311530 for 32 bits. maybe that was the value you saw printed out, can't remember.

maybe increase the editor font size twice if you can stand to look at it
