Reading Time: 3 minutes Overview In this blog, we will show a functional feature of Scala which is pattern matching. If you have used Java or .NET in the past, it may at first sight appear similar to switch statements. But, Scala’s pattern matching is a lot more powerful! Different ways of Pattern Matching 1. Pattern matching – a very basic example Suppose you want to test a variable called donutType. In the case that its value Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes Pattern Matching is one of the most powerful features in SCALA. Unlike in C, C++, JAVA we have a switch statement, Scala has a rich set of “patterns” for matching. So, In this blog, we’ll discuss various types of pattern matching followed by some advanced concepts in Pattern Matching in Scala. Pattern Matching In Scala – Pattern Matching is a mechanism of checking a value Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes Case classes are like regular classes that have default apply() method which handle object construction. There is no need to use a new keyword to create an object. Case class provides purely functional code with immutable objects. Case classes are a representation of a data structure with the necessary methods. It support pattern matching. Syntax of case class:- Example:- When you create a case class Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes Hi, community, in this blog, we will be covering what is pattern matching, when should we use it, and at the end, we’ll compare it with if-else. What is Pattern Matching? Pattern Matching is one of the most powerful tools in Scala. It’s similar to a switch statement in java but with loads of functionalities in comparison to a switch statement. Definition Pattern Matching is Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Rust has an extremely powerful control flow operator called Match. Pattern matching in Rust works by checking if a place in memory matches a certain pattern. Patterns can be : literal values variable names wildcards, and many other things Destructuring using Pattern Matching Pattern matching can use to destruct following items : Structures Enums Tuples Destructuring breaks up a value into its component pieces. The syntax used is Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes Pattern Matching: Scala Pattern matching is one of the features of functional programming that make it such an awesome paradigm. This tool is somewhat similar to switch statements you might be familiar with from other languages such as Java or Python, however Scala pattern matching is a much more powerful tool. In short, pattern matching allows one to check a value against a pattern as Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi everyone, I am going to start a blog series related to Scala. This is going to be a bit different as it focuses on things such as some mistakes that we usually do, unknowingly or some concepts that we might not know. So this series is all about exploring Scala and Combating Fallacy in Scala. if you want to be a part then stay Continue Reading
Reading Time: 7 minutes What is Pattern Matching? Pattern matching is a powerful feature of the Scala language. It is a mechanism for checking a value against a pattern. A successful match deconstructs the value into its constituent parts. Pattern matching allows for more concise and readable code while at the same time provide the ability to match elements against complex patterns. In this blog, we will see the Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes An extractor in Scala is an object which has an unapply method as one of its members. Often, the extractor object also defines a method apply for building values, but this is not required. An apply method is like a constructor which takes arguments and creates an object, the unapply method takes an object and tries to give back the arguments. The unapply method reverses the construction procedure of the Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes While working with the Case Classes closely, we have a very concise way to decompose an entity using pattern matching. The potent example is pattern matching on the Some(x) and None, as most of us know they are case class and case object respectively. The potential question that we have is do we have a provision to use similar patterns without having an associated case Continue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute I presented types of Pattern Matching at Knolx session at Knoldus. The presentation talks about the type of pattern matching in Scala with small examples.
