# Lecture 25 Setup/Prep

What do we really mean when we say that a program needs a lot of space? In part, we're talking about how much of your computer memory is in use as your program runs. How you organize your code can impact how much memory your program uses.

This lecture, we'll take a look at how code organization and memory usage are related. This will be useful to you as you try to process the bigWiki as part of Search.

We will also review the midterm solutions in the last 20 or so minutes of class.

## Prep

Nothing yet. There will likely be a starter file to take notes on come Friday morning, but there aren't any specific activities to do.

**Added 10:30 Friday**:

package lec25

object Main extends App {
  // compute the average of positive numbers in a list
  val temps = List(67, 45, 0, 66, -21, 50)
  val posTemps = temps.filter(t => t > 0)
  val avgTemp = posTemps.sum / posTemps.length
  println(avgTemp)
  // Point A
}

object Main2 extends App {
  // same computation as Main but organized separately
  val temps = List(67, 45, 0, 66, -21, 50)

  def avgPos(data: List[Int]) = {
    val posTemps = temps.filter(t => t > 0)
    posTemps.sum / posTemps.length
  }

  println(avgPos(temps))
  // Point B
}

// ----------------------------------------------

object Main3 extends App {
  // imagine we were grabbing data from a sports scorecard from the internet
  // (here, we are defining it rather than reading it in)
  class runsScored(val player:String, val inning1:Int, val inning2:Int) {}
  val data = List(new runsScored("Rohit", 6, 12), new runsScored("Virat", 11, 72), new runsScored("Rishabh", 91, 11))

  // then we computed some information about each scorecard entry
  val sums = data.map(d => (d.inning1 + d.inning2))

  // then we wrote out the computed data (to file, to the screen, etc)
  for (s <- sums) {
    println("a player scored " + s)
  }
}
