The challenge
Given an array of integers as strings and numbers, return the sum of the array values as if all were numbers.
Return your answer as a number.
The solution in Java code
Option 1 (using stream):
import java.util.List;
public class MixedSum {
public int sum(List<?> mixed) {
return mixed.stream().mapToInt(o -> Integer.parseInt(o.toString())).sum();
}
}
Option 2 (the harder way):
import java.util.List;
public class MixedSum {
public int sum(List<?> mixed) {
int sum = 0;
for (Object element : mixed) {
if (element instanceof Integer) {
sum += (Integer) element;
} else if (element instanceof String) {
sum += Integer.parseInt( (String) element );
}
}
return sum;
}
}
Option 3 (using Objects):
import java.util.List;
public class MixedSum {
public int sum(List<?> mixed) {
int x = 0;
for(Object s: mixed){
x+=Integer.parseInt(s.toString());
}
return x;
}
}
