Typescript? about adventofcode HOT 1 CLOSED

Btw, I think I figured out the issue. I found a different solution in C# (my native language) and was able to run that and put a breakpoint where the first 'difference' occurred in my Typescript implementation. I didn't realize TypeScript/JavaScript number object was basically an int and there was some overflow math issues, but instead of it throwing an exception, it just capped values or something so it wasn't obvious when trying your solution that I had issues. I then changed that implementation to use BigNumber from mathjs library and was able to make it work. So, I bet if I used that instead of built in number type, yours would have worked too. In case you are interested, the C# solution I followed is from his write up. Sadly, the C# version runs in milliseconds while the TypeScript version runs in 30 seconds, lol. For a learning experience, I might try to figure that out, but first I have to solve day 25 :)
