Scala Examples - Advanced

Source	Description
addressbook.scala	Address book to XHTML code (see also XML Processing)
callccInterpreter.scala	Interpreter with continuations using monads
fors.scala	for comprehensions (see also Sequence Comprehensions)
gadts.scala	Generalised algebraic data types
lazyEvaluation.scala	Lazy evaluation
message.scala	Actors (see also Actors for Scala)
patterns.scala	Pattern matching using case classes (see also Case Classes)
extractorPatterns.scala	Pattern matching using extractors - a flexible way of matching objects with patterns
pingpong.scala	Actors (see also Actors for Scala)
properties.scala	Properties
random.scala	Client/server application using Java sockets
simpleInterpreter.scala	Simple interpreter using monads
sort.scala	Recursive quicksort algorithm (imperative solution, see also Nested Functions)
sort1.scala	Recursive quicksort algorithm (functional solution)
timeofday.scala	Properties (see example 1 in § 4.2 of the Scala Language Specification)
vectors.scala	Vector operations using views (see also Views)
brainf_ck.scala	A small Brainf*ck interpreter

To compile and run on Windows one of the above Scala programs, let's say sort.scala, we can simply proceed as follows:

> mkdir classes
> scalac -d classes %SCALA_HOME%\doc\scala-devel\scala\examples\sort.scala
> scala -cp classes examples.sort
[6,2,8,5,1]
[1,2,5,6,8]

The name of the Scala executable is examples.sort where examples is the name of the package containing the sortobject. Running the test on a Unix system is very much similar, except for the use of slashes instead of backslashes, and a different specification of the Scala home directory.

Other Scala examples

Finally, the following ressources contain Scala examples as well:

• The Scala distribution contains a directory examples with other source examples.
• The document Scala By Example (about 150 pages, available in PDF format) contains more advanced Scala examples.
• The Scala Wiki contains many other code examples.
