// (1) Implement the function get_csv_url which takes an url-string
// as argument and requests the corresponding file. The two urls
// of interest are ratings_url and movies_url, which correspond
// to CSV-files.
// The function should return the CSV file appropriately broken
// up into lines, and the first line should be dropped (that is without
// the header of the CSV file). The result is a list of strings (lines
// in the file).

//val movies = get_csv_url(movies_url)
//ratings.length // 87313
//movies.length // 9742
// (2) Implement two functions that process the CSV files. The ratings
// function filters out all ratings below 4 and returns a list of
// (userID, movieID) pairs. The movies function just returns a list
// of (movieId, title) pairs.

// (3) Implement a grouping function that calulates a map
// containing the userIds and all the corresponding recommendations
// (list of movieIds). This should be implemented in a tail
// recursive fashion, using a map m as accumulator. This map
// is set to Map() at the beginning of the claculation.

//ratings_map.get("214").get.map(movies_map.get(_)) // least prolific recommender with only 1 positive rating
//(4) Implement a function that takes a ratings map and a movie_name as argument.
// The function calculates all suggestions containing
// the movie mov in its recommendations. It returns a list of all these
// recommendations (each of them is a list and needs to have mov deleted,
// otherwise it might happen we recommend the same movie).

// That means there are 80 users that recommend the movie with ID 912.
// Of these 80 users, 55 gave a good rating to movie 858 and
// 52 a good rating to movies 260, 318, 593.
// (5) Implement a suggestions function which takes a rating
// map and a movie_name as arguments. It calculates all the recommended
// movies sorted according to the most frequently suggested movie(s) first.

mov_name: String) : List[String] = {

//suggestions(ratings_map, "912").length
// => 4110 suggestions with List(858, 260, 318, 593, ...)
// being the most frequently suggested movies
// (6) Implement recommendations functions which generates at most
// *two* of the most frequently suggested movies. It Returns the
// actual movie names, not the movieIDs.

//recommendations(ratings_map, movies_map, "260")
// => List(Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980),
// Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983))

// => List(Lion King, Jurassic Park (1993))
// recommendations(ratings_map, movies_map, "0")
// => Nil
// recommendations(ratings_map, movies_map, "1")
// => List(Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump (1994))
// recommendations(ratings_map, movies_map, "4")
// => Nil (there are three ratings for this movie in ratings.csv but they are not positive)
// (7) Calculate the recommendations for all movies according to
// what the recommendations function in (6) produces (this
// can take a few seconds). Put all recommendations into a list
// (of strings) and count how often the strings occur in
// this list. This produces a list of string-int pairs,
// where the first component is the movie name and the second
// is the number of how many times they were recommended.
// Sort all the pairs according to the number
// of times they were recommended (most recommended movie name
// first).
