// 1. Write a code snippet that sets a to an array of n random integers between 0
// (inclusive) and n (exclusive).
var a = new Array[Int](10)                //> a  : Array[Int] = Array(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
for(i <- 0 until a.length) a(i) = scala.util.Random.nextInt(10)

// 2. Write a loop that swaps adjacent elements of an array of integers. For example,
// Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) becomes Array(2, 1, 4, 3, 5).
a = Array[Int](1,2,3,4,5)
a                                         //> res1: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
for(i <- 0 until (if(a.length % 2 == 0) a.length else a.length - 1) if(i % 2 == 1) ) {
	var temp = a(i)
	a(i) = a(i-1)
	a(i-1) = temp
}

// 3. Repeat the preceding assignment, but produce a new array with the swapped
// values. Use for/yield.
a = Array[Int](1,2,3,4,5)
a                                         //> res3: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
for(i <- 0 until a.length) yield if(i % 2 == 1) a(i - 1) else {if(i == a.length - 1) a(i) else a( i + 1)}

// 4. Given an array of integers, produce a new array that contains all positive
// values of the original array, in their original order, followed by all values that
// are zero or negative, in their original order.
a = Array[Int](2,6,-1,9,0,-4,-6)
val a2 = {a.filter(_ > 0)} ++ {a.filter(_ <= 0)} // Array(2, 6, 9) ++ Array(0, -1, -4, -6)
                                                 // a2: Array[Int] = Array(2, 6, 9, -1, 0, -4, -6)

// 5. How do you compute the average of an Array[Double]?
var d = Array[Double](1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0)
                                                //> d  : Array[Double] = Array(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0)
d.sum / d.length                          //> res9: Double = 3.0

// 6. How do you rearrange the elements of an Array[Int] so that they appear in
// reverse sorted order? How do you do the same with an ArrayBuffer[Int]?
a.sortWith(_ > _)                         //> res10: Array[Int] = Array(9, 6, 2, 0, -1, -4, -6)

// 7. Write a code snippet that produces all values from an array with duplicates
// removed. (Hint: Look at Scaladoc.)

a.distinct                                //> res12: Array[Int] = Array(2, 6, -1, 9, 0, -4, 8)

// 8. Rewrite the example at the end of Section 3.4, "Transforming Arrays," on
// page 34 using the drop method for dropping the index of the first match. Look
// the method up in Scaladoc.
ab = ArrayBuffer[Int](2, 6, -1, 9, 0, -4, 6, -1, 8)
var indexes = (for (i <- 0 until a.length if a(i) < 0) yield i)
