Learn the syntax, data types, and operations essential for programming in Scala

Become a Scala Developer

In this module, we will learn Scala from the ground up. This module aims to teach us how to write basic programs, assuming we have no prior knowledge of the language. We will start with a brief introduction to Scala to understand its functionality and applications. We will then move discuss the key features and functions of the language (data types, functions, classes, etc.) in detail. In the end, we will have all the basic knowledge of how to program in Scala.

## Task

In this challenge, you were provided the final percentage a student had at the end of the semester. You had to write a program which would determine if the student passed or failed. If the percentage was greater than or equal to **60**, the student passed, and if it was less than **60**, the student failed.


## Solution

Let's go over the solution step-by-step.

* The first thing you had to figure out is that this problem has conditions and would require an `if-else` expression.

* Next, you had to figure out what the conditions were. The first condition is that the student gets a percentage which is greater than or equal to **60**. In which case you would print `pass`.
```
if (percentage >= 60)
  print("pass")
```


* Finally, the last step required you to figure out the default condition, which was that the student gets a percentage which is less than **60**. In this case, you would print `fail`.

```
else
  print("fail")
```


You can find the complete solution below:

>You were required to write the code from **line 3** to **line 6**.
