In Scala 2. Note that break and breakable aren’t actually keywords they’re methods in . To use case-insensitive in an existing SBT project with Scala 2.12 or a later version, add the following dependencies to your build.sbt depending on your. One counter-argument for the current syntax is that, in an intuition deriving from C, you always secretly hope that your match will compile to a switch table. In this case, when i becomes greater than 4, the break keyword is reached. You'd have to distinguish case clauses for anon funs (where case is required) and case clauses in a match. case : ByteType matches only an instance of ByteType. But a programmer who is not good at high level abstractions or simply does not want to. case > does not check for the type, so it would match anything (similar to default in Java).

Any programmer who can make a good use of the high level abstractions it offers will like it and be more productive in it and will never want to go back to the oversimplified level of Java. It is similar to regular classes and the parameter. First, as we know, it is possible to put several statements for the same case scenario without needing some separation notation, just a line jump, like : x match is ambiguous. Scala is much more concise and expressive, but equally more complex. In Scala, case classes are used to shape the immutable data and use pattern matching to decompose it.
