Counter with Higher-Order Functions — Scala Code
Demonstrates Scala higher-order functions for counter operations and theme toggling.
object HigherOrderCounter {
var count = 0
var isDark = false
def updateUI(): Unit = println(s"Counter: $count, Theme: ${if(isDark) "Dark" else "Light"}")
def perform(action: () => Unit) = action()
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
perform(() => { count += 1; updateUI() })
perform(() => { count += 1; updateUI() })
perform(() => { isDark = !isDark; updateUI() })
perform(() => { count -= 1; updateUI() })
}
}
HigherOrderCounter.main(Array())Scala Language Guide
Scala is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that combines object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. It is designed to be concise, expressive, and interoperable with Java, running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Backend development (e.g., with Play Framework or Akka)
- ▸Big data processing (Apache Spark, Kafka)
- ▸Functional programming projects
- ▸Microservices and distributed systems
- ▸DSLs and highly expressive codebases
Notable Features
- ▸Statically typed with type inference
- ▸Supports both object-oriented and functional programming
- ▸Seamless Java interoperability
- ▸Pattern matching and algebraic data types
- ▸Concurrent programming support via Akka actors
Origin & Creator
Created in 2003 by Martin Odersky at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Switzerland.
Industrial Note
Scala is widely used in big data, distributed systems, and backend services where JVM interoperability and functional programming benefits are critical.
