Von Neumann architecture

Von Neumann bottleneck
“Can Programming be Liberated from the von Neumann
Style?”

History of FP languages

A formal system in mathematical logic and
computer science for expressing computation by
way of variable binding and substitution
λ-calculus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

* Referential transparency
* No side effect
* Remove unused expression safely
Pure functions

Scalable Language

2003

Why Scala?

Object-Oriented
Functional
Statically Typed
Runs on the JVM
Can Execute Java Code

All types are objects
Type inference.
Nested Functions.
Functions are objects.
Domain specific language (DSL) support
Traits.
Closures.
Concurrency support inspired by Erlang.
vs Java

var or val VariableName : DataType [= Initial Value]
var myVar : String = "mutable variable"
val myVal : String = "immutable variable"
//Multiple assignments:
val (myVar1: Int, myVar2: String) = Pair(5, "Foo")
Variable Declaration

Data Types (the same data types as Java)

class Point(xc: Int, yc: Int) {
var x: Int = xc
var y: Int = yc
def move(dx: Int, dy: Int) {
x = x + dx
y = y + dy
println ("Point x location : " + x);
println ("Point y location : " + y);
}
}
Classes, Objects and Traits

class Point(val xc: Int, val yc: Int) {
var x: Int = xc
var y: Int = yc
def move(dx: Int, dy: Int) {
x = x + dx
y = y + dy
}}
class Location(override val xc: Int, override val yc: Int,
val zc :Int) extends Point(xc, yc){
var z: Int = zc
def move(dx: Int, dy: Int, dz: Int) {
x = x + dx
y = y + dy
z = z + dz
println ("Point z location : " + z);
}}

trait someTrait {
var somevar: Int=0
def someFun(x: Int): Int = (x*2)/5
}
trait anotherTrait {
var anothervar: Int=0
def anotherFun(x: Int): Int = (x*7)/100
}
class class1(){}
class class2() extends class1 with someTrait with
anotherTrait
{}

private visible only inside the class or object
protected only accessible from subclasses
public accessed from anywhere (Default)

private[UpToScpoe]

if(Boolean_expression 1){
//Executes when the Boolean expression 1 is true
}else if(Boolean_expression 2){
}else if(Boolean_expression 3){
}else {
//Executes when the none of the above condition is
true.
}
IF...ELSE

while(condition){
statement(s);
}
do{
statement(s);
}while( condition );
for( x <- Range ){

}
Loop Types

import scala.util.control.Breaks
...
var x:Int=1
val brk=new Breaks
brk.breakable{
while( x>0 ){
if (x==10) brk.break
print(x)
x=x+1
}}
break a loop

def functionName ([list of parameters]) : [return type] = {
function body
return [expr]
}
def sum(x:Int,z:Int):Int=z+x
def pi=3.14
Sum(5,6) //11
Functions

def v:Int=5*6
def sum(x: => Int,z:Int):Int=z+x
sum(v,5) //35
Functions Call-by-Name

def sum(x: Int,z: Int):Int=z+x
sum(z=5,x=6)
Functions with Named Arguments

def sum( nums : Int* ) :Int ={
var buf:Int=0
for( i <- nums) buf=buf+i
}
sum(5,2,74,....)
Function with Variable Arguments

def sum( a:Int=5, b:Int=7 ) : Int = {
var s:Int = 0
s = a + b
return s
}
Default Parameter Values for a Function

def factorial(i: Int): Int = {
def fact(i: Int, accumulator: Int): Int = {
if (i <= 1)
accumulator
else
fact(i - 1, i * accumulator)
}
fact(i, 1)
}
Nested Functions - local functions

def factorial(n: BigInt): BigInt = {
if (n <= 1)
1
else
n * factorial(n - 1)
}
Recursion Functions

object Test {
val date = new Date
log(date, "message1" )
}
def log(date: Date, message: String) = {
println(date + "----" + message)
}
}
Partially Applied Functions

object Test {
val logWithDateBound = log(new Date, _ : String)
logWithDateBound("message1" )
}
def log(date: Date, message: String) = {
println(date + "----" + message)
}

object Test {
var sum=(x:Int,z:Int) => x+z
println(sum(5,6))
}
}
Anonymous Functions

val multiplier = (i:Int) => i * factor
var factor = 3
val multiplier = (i:Int) => i * factor
Closures

Currying transforms a function that takes multiple
parameters into a chain of functions, each taking
a single parameter
Currying Functions schönfinkeling

def strcat(s1: String,s2: String) = s1 + s2
def strcat(s1: String) = (s2: String) => s1 + s2
def main(args: Array[String]){
print (strcat ("Hello ")("World"))
}

def sum(x: Int,z: Int) = x + z
def main(args: Array[String]){
val sumCurried = Function.curried(sum _)
print (sumCurried(5)(6))
}

object Test {
println(matchTest(3))
}
def matchTest(x: Int): String = x match {
case 1 => "one"
case 2 => "two"
case _ => "many"
}
}
Pattern Matching

object Test {
println(matchTest("two"))
println(matchTest("test"))
println(matchTest(1))
}
def matchTest(x: Any): Any = x match {
case 1 => "one"
case "two" => 2
case y: Int => "scala.Int"
case _ => "many"
}
}
Pattern Matching

object Test {
val alice = new Person("Alice", 25)
val bob = new Person("Bob", 32)
val charlie = new Person("Charlie", 32)
for (person <- List(alice, bob, charlie)) {
person match {
case Person("Alice", 25) => println("Hi
Alice!")
case Person("Bob", 32) => println("Hi Bob!")
case Person(name, age) =>
println("Age: " + age + " year, name: " +
name + "?")
}}}
// case class, empty one.
case class Person(name: String, age: Int)
}

var a=(0 to 10) //from 0 to 10
var b=(0 until 10) //from 0 to 9

ranges

// List of Strings
val fruit: List[String] = List("apples", "oranges",
"pears")
// List of Integers
val nums: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)
// Empty List.
val empty: List[Nothing] = List()
// Two dimensional list

Lists

// List of Integers

// Empty List.
val empty = Nil
// Two dimensional list
val dim = (1 :: (0 :: (0 :: Nil))) ::

Lists

// Empty set of integer type
var s : Set[Int] = Set()
// Set of integer type

var s = Set(1,3,5,7)
Sets

/*Empty hash table whose keys are strings and
values are integers:*/
var A:Map[Char,Int] = Map()
// A map with keys and values.

"#F0FFFF")
Maps / Hash tables

val tup = (1, "hello", Console)
//Which is syntactic sugar for:
val t = new Tuple3(1, "hello", Console)
val sum = t._1 + t._2 + t._3
t.productIterator.foreach{ i =>println("Value = " +
i )}
Tuples

object Test {
val it = Iterator("a", "number", "of", "words")

val capitals = Map("France" -> "Paris", "Japan"

import java.io.FileReader
import java.io.FileNotFoundException
