variables

Good
Variable.

Bad
Constant.
Explicit type.
functions
Good
Bad
Define function.
Hidden error: without = it’s a procedure returning Unit; causes havoc. Deprecated in Scala 2.13.
Good
Bad
Define function.
Syntax error: need types for every arg.
Type alias.
vs.
Call-by-value.
Call-by-name (lazy parameters).
Anonymous function.
vs.
Anonymous function: underscore is positionally matched arg.
Anonymous function: to use an arg twice, have to name it.
Anonymous function: block style returns last expression.
Anonymous functions: pipeline style (or parens too).

Anonymous functions: to pass in multiple blocks, need outer parens.
Currying, obvious syntax.
Currying, obvious syntax.
Currying, sugar syntax. But then:
Need trailing underscore to get the partial, only for the sugar version.
Generic type.

Infix sugar.
Varargs.
packages
Wildcard import.

Selective import.
Renaming import.
Import all from java.util except Date.
At start of file:
Packaging by scope:
Package singleton:
Declare a package.
data structures
Tuple literal (Tuple3).
Destructuring bind: tuple unpacking via pattern matching.
Bad
Hidden error: each assigned to the entire tuple.
List (immutable).
Paren indexing (slides).
Cons.
same as
Range sugar.
Empty parens is singleton value of the Unit type.
Equivalent to void in C and Java.
control constructs
Conditional.

same as
Conditional sugar.
While loop.
Do-while loop.
Break (slides).

same as
For-comprehension: filter/map.

same as
For-comprehension: destructuring bind.

same as
For-comprehension: cross product.
For-comprehension: imperative-ish.
sprintf style.
For-comprehension: iterate including the upper bound.
For-comprehension: iterate omitting the upper bound.
pattern matching
Good
Bad
Use case in function args for pattern matching.
Bad
v42 is interpreted as a name matching any Int value, and “42” is printed.
Good
`v42` with backticks is interpreted as the existing val v42, and “Not 42” is printed.
Good
UppercaseVal is treated as an existing val, rather than a new pattern variable, because it starts with an uppercase letter. Thus, the value contained within UppercaseVal is checked against 3, and “Not 42” is printed.
object orientation
Constructor params - x is only available in class body.

Constructor params - automatic public member defined.
Constructor is class body.
Declare a public member.
Declare a gettable but not settable member.
Declare a private member.
Alternative constructor.
Anonymous class.
Define an abstract class (non-createable).
Define an inherited class.

Inheritance and constructor params (wishlist: automatically pass-up params by default).
Define a singleton (module-like).

Traits.
Interfaces-with-implementation. No constructor params. mixin-able.

Multiple traits.
Must declare method overrides.
Create object.
Bad
Good
Type error: abstract type.
Instead, convention: callable factory shadowing the type.
Class literal.
Type check (runtime).
Type cast (runtime).
Ascription (compile time).
options
Construct a non empty optional value.
The singleton empty optional value.
butNull-safe optional value factory.
same asExplicit type for empty optional value.
Factory for empty optional value.
Pipeline style.
For-comprehension syntax.
same asApply a function on the optional value.
same asSame as map but function must return an optional value.
same asExtract nested option.
same asApply a procedure on optional value.
same asApply function on optional value, return default if empty.
same asApply partial pattern match on optional value.
same astrue if not empty.
same astrue if empty.
same astrue if not empty.
same as0 if empty, otherwise 1.
same asEvaluate and return alternate optional value if empty.
same asEvaluate and return default value if empty.
same asReturn value, throw exception if empty.
same asReturn value, null if empty.
same asOptional value satisfies predicate.
same asOptional value doesn't satisfy predicate.
same asApply predicate on optional value or false if empty.
same asApply predicate on optional value or true if empty.
same asChecks if value equals optional value or false if empty.

This post is part of my preparation series for the Cloudera CCA175 exam, “Certified Spark and Hadoop Developer”. Srt marine driver download for windows 10. It is intentionally concise, to serve me as a cheat sheet.

Watchdata driver download for windows. You need familiarity with Python as well as Scala for the Cloudera exam. I have never coded in Scala before, so I am taking this course and preparing a brief Scala summary in this post.

Fortunately, the spark-shell is very helpful in the exam, and you don’t need to compile any .jar files.
