I wrote sum code in scala to find the majority element(the element which appears more than n/2 times where 'n' is the no.of elements in an array.I want to know where there is functional / scala native style of version(which includes match cases and transformations like "map/"flatmap" etc..) for the below imperative style of scala code which includes looping. The code which i used in:
object MajorityElement{
def printMajority(arr:Array[Int]) ={
var cand:Int=findCandidate(arr);
if(isMajority(arr,cand))
println(cand);
else
println("No Majority Element");
}
def isMajority(arr:Array[Int],Cand:Int):Boolean ={
var count=0;
for(i <- 0 until arr.length){
if(arr(i)== Cand)
count+=1;
}
if (count > arr.size/2)
return true;
else false
}
def findCandidate(arr:Array[Int]):Int ={
val s = arr.size
var majIndex:Int = 0;
var count = 1;
for(i <- 0 until arr.length){
if(arr(majIndex) == arr(i))
count+=1;
else
count-=1;
if(count==0)
{
majIndex = i;
count =1
}
}
return arr(majIndex);
}
}
please let me know, whether it is possible to write/ convert imperative style to functional version in scala(which uses match cases) for any scenario.
Threr is no Native Scala Style, but code can be Functional Style(value oriented)
(No var, No Side-Effect, Pure Function)
