This is just a single use case and if you are more interested in knowing about Implicit then this blog is for you. In this blog, I am going to discuss Implicit in Scala. I hope this will be useful to you. So, let’s talk about implicit Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hello folks, in this blog we will see Implicit Conversions in Scala language. And how it helps to make our code more readable. Before going into much detail about implicit let’s understand why we need implicit in Scala. There is a basic difference between your own code and libraries of other people. You can change your code as your need but when you have to Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes In our previous blog, The Magic of Implicit, we have talked about how implicit values are being used. In this blog, we will explore Type Conversion with implicit and implicit classes. Let’s start with a simple example, scala> val i: Int = 2.3 <console>:11: error: type mismatch; found : Double(2.3) required: Int val i: Int = 2.3 Here we were trying to assign a double type value Continue Reading
