Exercise

Converting while to foreach

Previously, you wrote a while loop in the imperative style to find and print the number of points to bust for five hands (one for each player) in a round of Twenty-One:

// Define counter variable
var i = 0

// Create list with five hands of Twenty-One
var hands = List(16, 21, 8, 25, 4)

// Loop through hands
while(i < hands.length) {
  // Find and print number of points to bust
  println(pointsToBust(hands(i)))
  // Increment the counter variable
  i += 1
}

In this exercise, you'll convert that code to a more functional, Scala-preferred style using the foreach method. The bust function is already defined for you. A modified pointsToBust function (with println) is provided in the sample code.

  • Call the foreach method on the hands array of arrays, looping through each round to find the number of points to bust using the pointsToBust function.
