Scala Case class, Companion object, Apply method and more

Let’s take a look at some examples:

Example1:

object Tests extends App {
  println(Rating("PG",13))
  println(Rating.apply("PG",13)) //This is equivalent, so you don't need to explicitly call apply
}

Scala Syntactic Sugar and Desugar in IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA offers a Desugar Scala Code function, you can use that to discover what this syntactic sugar actually stands for.

Here is an example:

def lift[T1,T2](f: T1 => T2):Try[T1]=>Try[T2] = _ map f

    def inner[T: Numeric](l: List[T], s: T): T = l match {
 case Nil => s
