# Advent of Code 2022 - Assignment6_javascript # Advent of Code 2022 - Assignment3 javascript solution
This repository contains answers to the assignments of Advent of Coding 2022 This problem is all about searching for duplicates in strings. The solution is implemented using slice to split the string in half.
The priority is retrieved using the ASCII charcode character for convienence. How to retrieve inputs differs between part1 and 2, therefore a checkbox is provided to toggle between different parsing methods.
