Scala coated JVM

Scala coated JVM @ Joint meeting of Java User Group Scotland and Scala Scotland Stuart Roebuck stuart.roebuck@proinnovate.com

The basics… • Created by Martin Odersky (EPFL) • JVM • Object oriented and functional • ‘scalable language’ • Scala 1.0—late 2003 • Scala 2.8.0—July 2010

“If I were to pick a language to use today other than Java, it would be Scala” James Gosling

Demo 1 Scripting with Scala

Email extraction shell script #! /bin/sh exec scala "$0" "$@" !# import scala.io.Source val email = """[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}""".r val filtered = Source.stdin.getLines. flatMap( email.findAllIn(_)). map(_.toLowerCase).toSet.toList.sortWith(_<_) filtered.foreach{ println(_) }

How does Scala diﬀer from Java? • Everything is an object • Pattern matching and Extractors • First-class functions (‘closures’) • XML literals • Singleton objects • Case classes • Mixin composition • Lazy evaluation with Traits • Tuples

Everything is an object “Answer = ” + 6 * 4 “Answer = ”.+((6).*(4))

First class functions def time(f: => Unit): Double = { val start = System.nanoTime f val end = System.nanoTime (end - start) / 1000000.0 } val timeTaken = time { Thread.sleep(100) }

Singleton Objects (Java) public class Singleton { private Singleton() { } private static class SingletonHolder { public static final Singleton INSTANCE = new Singleton(); } public static Singleton getInstance() { return SingletonHolder.INSTANCE; } }

Singleton Objects (Scala) object Singleton { val name = “This is a Singleton Object” }

Traits / Mix-in Composition class Executor(f: () => Unit) { def exec() { f() } } trait Logging extends Executor { override def exec() { println("Executing...") super.exec() } } trait Timing extends Executor { override def exec() { val start = System.currentTimeMillis super.exec() val end = System.currentTimeMillis printf("==> Time taken: %d ms%n", end-start) } } val e = new Executor(() => println("Hello")) with Timing with Logging e.exec Executing... Hello ==> Time taken: 0 ms

Pattern Matching def intToString(value: Any) = value match { case x:Int => x.toString case (x:Int) :: y => x.toString case Some(x:Int) => x.toString case _ => "" } scala> intToString(23) res1: java.lang.String = 23 scala> intToString(List(23,45)) res2: java.lang.String = 23 scala> intToString(Some(11)) res3: java.lang.String = 11 scala> intToString(Some("String")) res4: java.lang.String =

Demo 2 e Scala REPL(Read Eval Print Loop)

BigInteger / BigInt Factorial import java.math.BigInteger def factorial(x: BigInteger): BigInteger = if (x == BigInteger.ZERO) BigInteger.ONE else x.multiply(factorial(x.subtract(BigInteger.ONE))) def factorial(x: BigInt): BigInt = if (x == 0) 1 else x * factorial(x - 1)

BigInt Deﬁnition class BigInt(val bigInteger: BigInteger) extends java.lang.Number { override def hashCode(): Int = this.bigInteger.hashCode() override def equals (that: Any): Boolean = that match { case that: BigInt => this equals that case that: java.lang.Double => this.bigInteger.doubleValue == that.doubleValue case that: java.lang.Float => this.bigInteger.floatValue == that.floatValue case that: java.lang.Number => this equals BigInt(that.longValue) case that: java.lang.Character => this equals BigInt(that.charValue.asInstanceOf[Int]) case _ => false } def equals (that: BigInt): Boolean = this.bigInteger.compareTo(that.bigInteger) == 0 def compare (that: BigInt): Int = this.bigInteger.compareTo(that.bigInteger) def <= (that: BigInt): Boolean = this.bigInteger.compareTo(that.bigInteger) <= 0 def >= (that: BigInt): Boolean = this.bigInteger.compareTo(that.bigInteger) >= 0 def < (that: BigInt): Boolean = this.bigInteger.compareTo(that.bigInteger) < 0 def > (that: BigInt): Boolean = this.bigInteger.compareTo(that.bigInteger) > 0 def + (that: BigInt): BigInt = new BigInt(this.bigInteger.add(that.bigInteger)) …

Implicit conversion scala> factorial(10) res0: BigInt = 3628800 implicit def int2bigInt(i: Int): BigInt = BigInt(i) def factorial(x: BigInt): BigInt = … scala> factorial(int2bigInt(10)) res0: BigInt = 3628800

Pattern matching scala> val Email = """([a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z] {2,4})""".r Email: scala.util.matching.Regex = ([a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+)@([a-zA- Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}) scala> val Email(name,address) = "stuart.roebuck@proinnovate.com" name: String = stuart.roebuck address: String = proinnovate.com
