// when passing parameters to method calls. You may replace parenthesis with curly braces if, and only if, 
// the method expects a single parameter. For example:

List(1, 2, 3).reduceLeft{_ + _} // valid, single Function2[Int,Int] parameter

List{1, 2, 3}.reduceLeft(_ + _) // invalid, A* vararg parameter

// Why multiple parameters lists scala ?

// First: you can have multiple var args:

trait U {
  self =>
  val name = "outer"
  val b = new AnyRef {
    val name = "inner"
    println(name)
    println(this.name)
    println(self.name)
  }

// The difference is scoping. var is scoped to the nearest function block and let is scoped to the nearest enclosing block 
// (both are global if outside any block), which can be smaller than a function block.

// Also, variables declared with let are not visible before they are declared in their enclosing block.

// In the example below, let is only visible in the for() loop and var is visible to the whole function.

function allyIlliterate() {
    //tuce is *not* visible out here

trait Foo { def bar: Int }

object F1 extends Foo { def bar = util.Random.nextInt(33) } // ok

class F2(val bar: Int) extends Foo // ok

object F3 extends Foo {
  lazy val bar = { // ok
    Thread.sleep(5000)  // really heavy number crunching

// 1. Typed Tuple
let error: [number, string] = [123, 'Some Message'];

// Both correctly typed
let [code, message] = error;   // code is number and message is string
let anotherCode = error[0];    // anotherCode is number
let anotherMessage = error[1]; // anotherMessage is string

// 2. String Literal Type

// Usage of apply: do something with an object and return it
fun getDeveloper(): Developer {
    return Developer().apply {

// Ways to transform List<Optional<T>> to List<T> (excluding empty ones)

// 1. Using filter()
List<String> filteredList = listOfOptionals.stream()
  .filter(Optional::isPresent)
  .map(Optional::get)
  .collect(Collectors.toList());

// 2. Using flatMap()
List<String> filteredList = listOfOptionals.stream()

-- Reverse a list in Haskell is cool (Pseudo syntax): 
-- reverse = foldLeft (flip (:.)) Nil

-- or in formal haskell syntax:

reverse = foldl (flip (:)) []

// sliding[B >: A](size: Int, step: Int = 1): GroupedIterator[B]
// Returns an iterator which presents a "sliding window" view of another iterator. 
// The first argument is the window size, and the second is how far to advance the window on each iteration; defaults to 1. 
// Example usages:

// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3), List(2, 3, 4), List(3, 4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(3).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4), List(4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4))
