Sort sum digits from elements in a collection.
Explanation
You are given an array of integers. Sort it in such a way that if A comes before B then the sum of digits of A is less than or equal to the sum of digits of B.
Example
For:
collection = [15, 20, 4, 8]
The output should be:
digitalSumSort(collection) = [2, 4, 6, 8]
Solution
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class DigitalSumSorter {
private List<Integer> sort(List<Integer> numbers){
List<String> numbersAsString = numbers.stream().map(it -> it.toString()).collect(Collectors.toList());
List<Integer> result = numbersAsString.stream().map(it -> it.chars().map( ch -> Integer.parseInt(Character.toString((char) ch))).sum()).sorted().collect(Collectors.toList());
return result;
}
public static void main(String[] args){
List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(15, 20, 4, 8);
List<Integer> result = new DigitalSumSorter().sort(numbers);
assert Arrays.asList(2,4,6,8).equals(result);
}
}
