CLI Tool: wc v1 — Count Lines in Scala

Practice

Build a tiny version of the Unix wc command. Given a list of lines, return the total number of lines as an integer.

Function signature:

def countLines(lines: Array[String]): Int

Example:

Input: lines = ["hello", "world", "foo", "bar", "baz"]

Output: 5

Every entry of the list is one line, even an empty string "". An empty list has 0 lines.

The number of lines is just the array's length. Use lines.length.

A one-liner:

class Solution {
    def countLines(lines: Array[String]): Int = {
        return lines.length
    }
}
