# Task 2: Multiply by Two # Submitted by: Mohammad Sajid Anwar # # You are given an array of integers, @ints and an integer $start.. # Write a script to do the followings: # # a) Look for $start in the array @ints, if found multiply the number by 2 # b) If not found stop the process otherwise repeat # # In the end return the final value. # # Example 1 # Input: @ints = (5,3,6,1,12) and $start = 3 # Output: 24 # # Step 1: 3 is in the array so 3 x 2 = 6 # Step 2: 6 is in the array so 6 x 2 = 12 # Step 3: 12 is in the array so 12 x 2 = 24 # # 24 is not found in the array so return 24. # # Example 2 # Input: @ints = (1,2,4,3) and $start = 1 # Output: 8 # # Step 1: 1 is in the array so 1 x 2 = 2 # Step 2: 2 is in the array so 2 x 2 = 4 # Step 3: 4 is in the array so 4 x 2 = 8 # # 8 is not found in the array so return 8. # # Example 3 # Input: @ints = (5,6,7) and $start = 2 # Output: 2 # # 2 is not found in the array so return 2. def multiply_by_two(start,ints) curr = start while ints.include?(curr) curr *= 2 end printf "start %d (%s) -> %d\n", start, ints.join(","), curr end ints = [5,3,6,1,12] start = 3 multiply_by_two(start, ints) ints = [1,2,4,3] start = 1 multiply_by_two(start, ints) ints = [5,6,7] start = 2 multiply_by_two(start, ints)
