After Day 15 it was a relief to find that Day 16 was relatively straightforward.

I started by putting all implementations of all instructions in a separate Machine module, adding a code example for each instruction. That way, I could run the tests and be reasonably sure that I didn’t have any silly bugs in the instructions before starting the work on the puzzle solving code itself.

Here is my solution.

This is my solution. I agree that today’s challenge was much simpler than day 15. The most interesting thing for me was computing the mapping of opcodes to instructions.
