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.

# Pattern Matching

**Pattern matching** means exactly what you think it might---checking if an object or series of tokens match a specified pattern. A **pattern match** consists of a list of alternative cases which are made up of a pattern and a corresponding expression.

# Using `match`

In Scala, *pattern matching* is done using the `match` expression. It is evaluated by taking the object to be matched and comparing it with each pattern in the order they are listed. The first pattern to match the object expression is selected and the corresponding expression is evaluated. 

## Syntax




In this lesson, you will learn about pattern matching and how it is implemented using the `match` control structure.
