Switch statements express conditionals across many branches.
Here’s a basic switch.
switch
object SwitchExample extends App { val i = 2 print(s"Write $i as ") i match { case 1 => println("one") case 2 => println("two") case 3 => println("three") } val day = java.time.DayOfWeek.from(java.time.LocalDate.now()) day match { case java.time.DayOfWeek.SATURDAY | java.time.DayOfWeek.SUNDAY => println("It's the weekend") case _ => println("It's a weekday") } val t = java.time.LocalTime.now() t.getHour match { case hour if hour < 12 => println("It's before noon") case _ => println("It's after noon") } def whatAmI(i: Any): Unit = i match { case b: Boolean => println("I'm a bool") case n: Int => println("I'm an int") case _ => println(s"Don't know type ${i.getClass.getSimpleName}") } whatAmI(true) whatAmI(1) whatAmI("hey") }
To run the program, put the code in a file named SwitchExample.scala and use scala to execute it.
SwitchExample.scala
scala
$ scala SwitchExample.scala Write 2 as two It's a weekday It's after noon I'm a bool I'm an int Don't know type String
