interpreting an initial layout of memory and an algorithm to perform
on the machine. Very interesting.
Turns out its pretty simple: just the parsing of the initial state at
the top of an input was a bit weird. The actual command parser was
very simple as it had a static format, and we could do figure out the
command at parse time.
* Problem 6
Just looking for the first 4 length sequence of unique characters in a
stream. Way easier than I expected, closer to problem 1 than 5.
* Problem 7
I'm stumped here, and I feel it's because of common lisp. Tree
structures with back references to parents are essentially impossible
because Lisp hasn't really got the concept of a pointer. I need to
find a way to emulate or construct directory structures in a recursive
manner in Lisp.
