Day 1

Usage:

rustc d1p1.rs
cat input.txt | ./d1p1

Part 1:

Parse each line into a pair of ints; store them in a pair of heaps. Convert heaps into sorted lists. Iterate through them together and find the absolute difference between each pair of numbers.

Part 2:

Parse each line into a pair of ints; store the first in an array, place the second into a map that accumulate the number of times a value is seen.

Iterate through the array, adding the number times the number of times it was seen in the map.
