There must be another set of data, the number of men and women born in each year.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to create a method in scala <br />
<br />
that estimate how many people from `data` will be alive in `year`. <br />
<br />
&nbsp; def estimatePopulation(data: List[List[String]], year: Int): Int = ???<br />
<br />
<br />
Data refers to a file that reads<br />
<br />
(&quot;1930, &quot;67&quot;, &quot;76&quot;)<br />
<br />
(&quot;1950, &quot;65&quot;, &quot;77&quot;)<br />
<br />
(&quot;1970, &quot;64&quot;, &quot;76&quot;)<br />
<br />
where:<br />
<br />
the first number represents a year<br />
<br />
the second represents the life expectancy of a man<br />
<br />
the third represents the life expectancy of a woman<br />
<br />
example:<br />
<br />
&quot;&nbsp;A man born in 1930 has a life expectancy of 67 years.&quot;<br />

How to write that function?

I need to create a method in scala 

that estimate how many people from `data` will be alive in `year`. 

  def estimatePopulation(data: List[List[String]], year: Int): Int = ???


Data refers to a file that reads

("1930, "67", "76")

("1950, "65", "77")

("1970, "64", "76")

where:

the first number represents a year

the second represents the life expectancy of a man

the third represents the life expectancy of a woman

example:

" A man born in 1930 has a life expectancy of 67 years."

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
