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.

## Problem
We want to compare two strings to check whether they are equal. When strings are equal, it simply means that both strings are composed of the same characters in the same order, i.e., they are identical.


## Solution

In Scala, you use the `==` method to test the equality of two objects. The result will either be true or false depending on whether the objects are equal or not.  

Let's look at an example.
