Initialize and prepend to a list
The List in Scala is like the Array in that they are a sequence of objects that share the same type. The List collection, however, is immutable. When performing operations on lists, the result will be a new list with a new value. The cons operator (::) prepends an element to a list.
Imagine you wanted to raise the stakes a little when playing Twenty-One by adding a monetary prize for each round. The winner of round one gets $10, the winner of round two gets $15, etc.
In this exercise, you'll create a list to store these prize values for five rounds, then prepend to it to accommodate another round.
