# Advent of Code 2022 - Assignment8 javascript # Advent of Code 2022 - assignment 1
## Description This is the first assignment for Advent of Code 2022. The provided solution uses 3 variables: currentScore, highestCalorieScore, currentElf, highestElf.
This problem is all about walking through a grid. In this solution, we look through an entire column and row until we find a node with height <= height. It is complexity O(n+m) since it loops through every line exactly once (n) and the iterates for recalculating highscore (m).
The GUI also provides a checkbox to toggle top3 or top1.
## References ## Solution description
