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.

Learn Scala from Scratch

We can pass arguments to a class the same way we can pass arguments to functions. They are known as **constructor parameters** as they are assigned a value when the object is *constructed* using a class.

Let's look at the syntax below:

As you can see, where we initially only had `class classIdentifier`, we now also have a parameter list. The rest of the code for creating a class is exactly the same. 

Let's now redefine our `Person` class using constructor parameters. 

In this lesson, we will look at another way of creating an object class and learn about constructors.
