Hello Victor, for the Advent of code of yesterday [1], i've this code golfing solution (the full code is here [2])
var input = ...; class Node { final HashMap<Integer, Node> map = new HashMap<>(); boolean end; } var root = new Node(); Arrays.stream(input.substring(0, input.indexOf('\n')).split(", ")) .forEach(w -> w.chars().boxed().gather(Gatherers.fold(() -> root, (n, c) -> n.map.computeIfAbsent(c, _ -> new Node()))).findFirst().orElseThrow().end = true); println(input.lines().skip(2).filter(w -> w.chars().boxed().<Set<Node>>gather(Gatherers.fold(() -> new HashSet<>(Set.of(root)), (ms, c) -> ms.stream().flatMap(m -> Stream.ofNullable(m.map.get(c))) .flatMap(n -> n != null && n.end ? Stream.of(n, root) : Stream.ofNullable(n)).collect(Collectors.toSet()))) .findFirst().orElseThrow().stream().anyMatch(n -> n.end)).count()); As you can see, the second call to Gatherers.fold() requires to specify the type argument, the <Set<Node>> in front because the supplier is not declared as a Supplier<? extends ...> Thinking a little more, i do not understand why fold takes a Supplier as first parameter and not just a value given that the Gatherer is created with ofSequential(). regards, Rémi [1] https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/19 [2] https://github.com/forax/advent-of-code-2024
