Day 1

Today's language: awk + GNU-coretils

• Task 1: We use awk to find the maximum while we iterate through the file
• Task 2: We use awk again for summing the calories, then sort them and take the top 3 which we again sum up with awk

# Find the Elf carrying the most Calories. How many total Calories is that Elf carrying?
awk -f day1-1.awk input.txt
# Find the top three Elves carrying the most Calories. How many Calories are those Elves carrying in total?
./day1.2.sh
