Part One

An Intcode program is a list of integers separated by commas (like 1,0,0,3,99). To run one, start by looking at the first integer (called position 0). Here, you will find an opcode - either 1, 2, or 99. The opcode indicates what to do; for example, 99 means that the program is finished and should immediately halt. Encountering an unknown opcode means something went wrong.

The Intcode program is split in to chunks of four, where:

The first number is the optcode
The second number is the position of the first input
The third number is the position of the second input
The fourth number is the position where you should replace the output

If the optcode is 1, add the first input and second input together, then replace the number at the output position with the result

If the optcode is 2, multiply the first and second input together, then replace the number at the output position with the result

If the optcode is 99, it means the program is finished and should immediately halt

const input = [1,0,0,3,1,1,2,3,1,3,4,3,1,5,0,3,2,10,1,19,1,19,9,23,1,23,13,27,1,10,27,31,2,31,13,35,1,10,35,39,2,9,39,43,2,43,9,47,1,6,47,51,1,10,51,55,2,55,13,59,1,59,10,63,2,63,13,67,2,67,9,71,1,6,71,75,2,75,9,79,1,79,5,83,2,83,13,87,1,9,87,91,1,13,91,95,1,2,95,99,1,99,6,0,99,2,14,0,0]

const noun = 12
const verb = 2
input[1] = noun
input[2] = verb

const operations = {
  1: (o, a, b, c) => o[c] = o[a] + o[b],
  2: (o, a, b, c) => o[c] = o[a] * o[b],
}

const runProgram = () => {
  let cp = 0
  let running = true
  while (cp < input.length && running) {
    input[cp] === 1 || input[cp] === 2
      ? operations[input[cp]](input, input[cp+1], input[cp+2], input[cp+3])
