The challenge
Our football team finished the championship. The result of each match look like “x:y”. Results of all matches are recorded in the collection.
For example: ["3:1", "2:2", "0:1", ...]
Write a function that takes such collection and counts the points of our team in the championship. Rules for counting points for each match:
- if x>y – 3 points
- if x<y – 0 point
- if x=y – 1 point
Notes:
- there are 10 matches in the championship
- 0 <= x <= 4
- 0 <= y <= 4
Test cases
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import org.junit.runners.JUnit4;
public class SolutionTest {
@Test
public void basicTests() {
assertEquals(30, TotalPoints.points(new String[]
{"1:0","2:0","3:0","4:0","2:1","3:1","4:1","3:2","4:2","4:3"}));
assertEquals(10, TotalPoints.points(new String[]
{"1:1","2:2","3:3","4:4","2:2","3:3","4:4","3:3","4:4","4:4"}));
assertEquals(0, TotalPoints.points(new String[]
{"0:1","0:2","0:3","0:4","1:2","1:3","1:4","2:3","2:4","3:4"}));
assertEquals(15, TotalPoints.points(new String[]
{"1:0","2:0","3:0","4:0","2:1","1:3","1:4","2:3","2:4","3:4"}));
assertEquals(12, TotalPoints.points(new String[]
{"1:0","2:0","3:0","4:4","2:2","3:3","1:4","2:3","2:4","3:4"}));
}
}
The solution in Java
Option 1:
public class TotalPoints {
public static int points(String[] games) {
int points = 0;
for (String item: games) {
int x = (int) item.charAt(0);
int y = (int) item.charAt(2);
if (x>y) points += 3;
else if (x==y) points ++;
}
return points;
}
}
Option 2 (using a stream
):
import java.util.Arrays;
public class TotalPoints {
public static int points(String[] games) {
return Arrays.stream(games)
.mapToInt(score -> score.charAt(0) - score.charAt(2))
.map(match -> match > 0 ? 3 : match == 0 ? 1 : 0)
.sum();
}
}
