Scala Project - Churn Emails - Count the Number of Subject Lines

To check if a particular line in a file starts with a set of strings we use the startsWith function in Scala.

The below code prints the lines starting with From:

import scala.io.Source

def count_from_lines() : Int = {
    var countLines = 0
    val filename = "/cxldata/datasets/project/mbox-short.txt"
    for (line <- Source.fromFile(filename).getLines) {
        if (line.startsWith("From:")) {
            countLines = countLines + 1
        }
    }
    return(countLines)
}

INSTRUCTIONS

Define a function count_subject_lines
Open the file mbox-short.txt which is located at /cxldata/datasets/project/mbox-short.txt and read it to get each line using getLines function
Write the logic to count the total number of lines starting with Subject:
Return the count of the number of lines
Call the function in the next cell

Note: If your logic is correct then your function should return 27.
