This program determines which stock had the highest price in a given year.
It as an example from chapter 1 "Introduction", section 1.2 "What's Scala?" of the book
[Programming Scala: Tackle Multi-Core Complexity on the Java Virtual Machine](http://pragprog.com/book/vsscala/programming-scala).
## What It Does
This program takes a list of one or more stock symbols and a year. It then concurrently
obtains the relevant stock data from Yahoo's iChart service for each symbol. Once all
the data has been retrieved the program determines which stock had the highest year-end
closing price.
* A sample of the data can be downloaded [here](http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=AAPL&a=11&b=01&c=2008&d=11&e=31&f=2008&g=m).
#### The Ruby Code
```ruby
require 'concurrent'
require 'open-uri'
def get_year_end_closing(symbol, year)
uri = "http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=#{symbol}&a=11&b=01&c=#{year}&d=11&e=31&f=#{year}&g=m"
data = open(uri) {|f| f.collect{|line| line.strip } }
price = data[1].split(',')[4]
price.to_f
[symbol, price.to_f]
end
def get_top_stock(symbols, year, timeout = 5)
stock_prices = symbols.collect{|symbol| Concurrent::dataflow{ get_year_end_closing(symbol, year) }}
Concurrent::dataflow(*stock_prices) { |*prices|
prices.reduce(['', 0.0]){|highest, price| price.last > highest.last ? price : highest}
}.value(timeout)
end
symbols = ['AAPL', 'GOOG', 'IBM', 'ORCL', 'MSFT']
year = 2008
top_stock, highest_price = get_top_stock(symbols, year)
puts "Top stock of #{year} is #{top_stock} closing at price $#{highest_price}"
```
#### The Scala Code
```scala
//START:PART1
import scala.actors._
import Actor._
val symbols = List( "AAPL", "GOOG", "IBM", "JAVA", "MSFT")
val receiver = self
val year = 2008
symbols.foreach { symbol =>
actor { receiver ! getYearEndClosing(symbol, year) }
}
val (topStock, highestPrice) = getTopStock(symbols.length)
printf("Top stock of %d is %s closing at price %f\n", year, topStock, highestPrice)
//END:PART1
//START:PART2
def getYearEndClosing(symbol : String, year : Int) = {
val url = "http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=" +
symbol + "&a=11&b=01&c=" + year + "&d=11&e=31&f=" + year + "&g=m"
val data = io.Source.fromURL(url).mkString
val price = data.split("\n")(1).split(",")(4).toDouble
(symbol, price)
}
//END:PART2
//START:PART3
def getTopStock(count : Int) : (String, Double) = {
(1 to count).foldLeft("", 0.0) { (previousHigh, index) =>
receiveWithin(10000) {
case (symbol : String, price : Double) =>
if (price > previousHigh._2) (symbol, price) else previousHigh
}
}
}
//START:PART3
```
