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

In one of the previous [chapters](https://www.educative.io/courses/learn-scala/strings-and-other-literals), we touched upon string literals. In this chapter, we are going to continue our discussion on strings and go into much more detail. In the second half of this chapter, we will take a **problem/solution** approach where you will be introduced to a problem and through its solution, you will learn of different methods that can be applied on strings in Scala.

## Declaring a String
While we have already learned how to declare a string, let's have a quick recap before moving forward.
