export async function solve(input: string): Promise<string | number | object> {
// Your solution here
// The input parameter contains the puzzle input as a string
// Example:
const lines = input.trim().split('\n');
// Process and return your answer

}Then, import it in src/solvers/index.ts and add it to the solvers object:
import * as day12 from './day12'
export const solvers = {
// ... existing solvers
'12': day12,
}The solver function will receive the puzzle input as a string and should return the solution (string, number, or object).
