Better Programmer Contest


Completed the contest with 74% (http://www.betterprogrammer.com/certificate/BP1Q9GB5). I know its not good but i got all of the tasks correct so that's what matters to me. Following are my solutions and the JUnit tests:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.PriorityQueue;
import java.util.Queue;

public class BetterProgrammerTask {

 /**
  * Task 1
  */
 public static int getSumOfNumbers(String s) {
  int retVal = 0;
  /*
   * Please implement this method to return the sum of all integers found
   * in the parameter String. You can assume that integers are separated
   * from other parts with one or more spaces (' ' symbol). For example,
   * s="12 some text 3  7", result: 22 (12+3+7=22)
   */
  List numList = new ArrayList<>();
  String[] inStrs = s.split("\\s");
  for (String str : inStrs) {
   try {
    int num = Integer.parseInt(str);
    numList.add(num);
   } catch (Exception e) {
    // ignore and proceed to next.
   }
  }

  if (!numList.isEmpty()) {
   for (Integer n : numList) {
    retVal += n;
   }
  }
  return retVal;
 }

 /**
  * Task 2
  * 
  * @param from
  * @param to
  * @return
  */
 public static List getPerfectNumbers(int from, int to) {
  /*
   * Please implement this method to return a list of all perect numbers
   * in the given range inclusively. A perfect number is defined as a
   * positive integer which is the sum of its positive divisors not
   * including the number itself. For example: 6 is a perfect number
   * because 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 (1, 2, 3 are divisors of 6) 28 is also a
   * perfect number: 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14
   */
  List perfectNumList = new ArrayList();

  for (int i = from; i <= to; i++) {
   List divisorsList = new ArrayList();
   for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) {
    if (i % j == 0) {
     divisorsList.add(j);
    }
   }
   if (!divisorsList.isEmpty()) {
    int sum = 0;
    for (Integer n : divisorsList) {
     sum += n;
    }
    if (sum == i) {
     perfectNumList.add(i);
     System.out.println(i);
    }
   }
  }
  return perfectNumList;
 }

 /**
  * Task 3
  * 
  * 
  */
 public static interface Node {
  int getValue();

  List getChildren();
 }

 public static List traverseTreeInWidth(Node root) {
  /*
   * Please implement this method to traverse the tree in width and return
   * a list of all passed nodes.
   * 
   * The list should start with the root node, next it should contain all
   * second-level nodes, then third-level nodes etc.
   * 
   * The method shall work optimally with large trees.
   */
  List visitedNodesList = new ArrayList();
  Queue queue = new PriorityQueue();

  if (root != null) {
   queue.add(root);
   while (!queue.isEmpty()) {
    Node visitedNode = queue.remove();
    visitedNodesList.add(visitedNode);
    queue.addAll(visitedNode.getChildren());
   }
  }
  return visitedNodesList;
 }

 /**
  * Task 4
  * 
  * @param cents
  * @return
  */
 public static int countWaysToProduceGivenAmountOfMoney(int cents) {
  /*
   * Please implement this method to return the number of different
   * combinations of US coins (penny: 1c, nickel: 5c, dime: 10c, quarter:
   * 25c, half-dollar: 50c) which may be used to produce a given amount of
   * money.
   * 
   * For example, 11 cents can be produced with one 10-cent coin and one
   * 1-cent coin, two 5-cent coins and one 1-cent coin, one 5-cent coin
   * and six 1-cent coins, or eleven 1-cent coins. So there are four
   * unique ways to produce 11 cents. Assume that the cents parameter is
   * always positive.
   */
  int coins[] = {1,5,10,25,50};
  
  int table[] = new int[cents+1];
  
  for (int i = 0; i < cents + 1; i++) {
   table[i] = 0;
  }
  
  table[0] = 1;
  
  for (int i = 0; i < coins.length; i++) {
   for (int j = coins[i]; j <= cents; j++) {
    table[j] += table[j - coins[i]];
   }
  }
  
  return table[cents];
 }
