About the Scala Test
This assessment evaluates a candidate's proficiency in Scala, Data Structures, Object Oriented Programming, and Control Flow. Scala, meaning Scalable Language, is a hybrid functional programming language.
In Scala, every value is treated as an object, embodying a purely object-oriented approach. The characteristics and behavior of entities are defined by classes and traits, which will be explored in subsequent chapters. Classes are extended via subclassing and a versatile mixin-based composition, providing a clear alternative to multiple inheritance.
Scala is also a functional language where every function is a value, with every value an object — so ultimately, each function is an object.
Unlike some statically typed languages such as C, Pascal, or Rust, Scala doesn't require redundant type declarations. Usually, you don't need to explicitly specify a class or repeat types.
