There ya go. Just one of many ways to solve it.
I won't bother coding it, although I will say I did it as a practice run long ago. Alas, I have very little of my code leftover from the early years of university, and even the late stuff is not organized well. Maybe one day, when my todo list isn't so long, I'll get back to you ;)
