High level overview of some Scala concepts.

1. Intro to Scala

3. OO Features

6. Standalone Object Calling the method

8. Methods Don’t need a return statement. The last line of the method is What gets returned.

9. Imports & Packages Import Statements Scoped Packages

10. Type System

13. Type System

14. Type System Call drawAll on Canvas with a list of circles

16. Implicits

17. Implicit Conversion Implicit Conversions provide a nice way to extend libraries and functionality without changing the original code. Example: Add methods to String

18. Implicit Conversion Must Import the Object in order to use the new methods It looks like we are calling the repeat method on the string class!

19. Implicit Parameters Implicit parameters are used in a functions parameter list to denote that the parameter Is optional. Declare the parameter to be implicit Label the list as implicit so the compiler knows Which list to use.

20. Traits

21. Traits Like an interface with an implementation. Traits are mixed into classes by using the keyword with. Allowed to have abstract as well as concrete implementation of methods. Version 1

22. Traits Version 2

23. Traits It is possible to have multiple traits that have the same method. This is known as stackable modifications By extending Arithmetic we are saying that this is only valid for classes that extend Arithmetic Calls the next compute method in line A hint to the compiler that you are “stacking” traits

24. Traits Output: 8 Output: 16

25. Traits If you remember from the last example the result between the two runs were different. This is because we changed the order of the traits between the two executions. Ordering of traits makes a difference! By using something called linearization classes and all of the traits are put into a linear order (right to left). By putting them in this order, each time you call super the next method up the chain is invoked. 2 + 2 = 4 4 * 4 = 16 2 * 2 = 4 4 + 4 = 8

26. Functional Features

29. Concurrency Event Based Actors In event based actors a thread pool is used and each actor is given a thread to execute.

30. Concurrency Thread Based Actors With thread based actors, every actor is tied to a thread.

31. Concurrency Starting an actor and sending a message:

33. Pattern Matching Basic Example: Matching a String or Int Output: “Look a String!” Output: “Look an Int!” Simple instanceof check

34. Pattern matching Implementing the visitor pattern:

35. Functions

36. Functions Partial Function: Passing a function as a parameter: Returning a function from a method:

37. Other Notable Features
