How to run Spark Scala script in the CCA175 exam?

[#1]

I'm preparing for the CCA175. I am okay with Python, but very new in Scala.

On my Quickstart VM, I can't yet run a Scala script. Given the tools available in the exam environment, how would I submit a .scala file (or is it a .sc file?) with spark-submit?

Alternatively: If I just paste the relevant code lines into the spark-shell, does that count?

yes, you can login with pyspark (or) spark-shell and run your commands one by one to get the result. All they need is your result and code that you have used to generate the result. So it is not necessary to create .jar from your code and execute (also it will take additional time)
