MenuProject

Overview

Given a JSON string which describes a menu, calculate the SUM of the IDs of all "items", as long as a "label" exists for that item. All IDs are integers between 0 and 100 and the menu can be of any length. The application should take a file / path and parse the json string and output the sum of the valid Item IDs. Example Below:

[
  {
     "menu":{
        "header":"menu",
        "items":[
           {
              "id":27
           },
           {
              "id":0,
              "label":"Label 0"
           },
           null,
           {
              "id":93
           },
           {
              "id":85
           },
           {
              "id":54
           },
           null,
           {
              "id":46,
              "label":"Label 46"
           }
        ]
     }
  },
  {
     "menu":{
        "header":"menu",
        "items":[
           {
              "id":81
           }
        ]
     }
  }
]
