Greed (Dice Game)

Write a class Greed with a score() method that accepts an array of die values (up to 6).

Scoring rules are as follows:

  • A single one (100)
  • A single five (50)
  • Triple ones [1,1,1] -> (1000)
  • Triple twos [2,2,2] -> (200)
  • Triple threes [3,3,3] -> (300)
  • Triple fours [4,4,4] -> (400)
  • Triple fives [5,5,5] -> (500)
  • Triple sixes [6,6,6] -> (600)

Note that the scorer should work for any number of dice up to 6.

  • Four-of-a-kind (Multiply Triple Score by 2)
  • Five-of-a-kind (Multiply Triple Score by 4)
  • Six-of-a-kind (Multiply Triple Score by 8)
  • Three Pairs [2,2,3,3,4,4] -> (800)
  • Straight [1,2,3,4,5,6] -> (1200)
  • No scoring dice -> (0)

Scoring rules can be combined to deliver the highest total result
