Scala Control Flow
Conditionals and loops in Scala
If Expression
val max = if (a > b) a else b # if as expression
val result = if (x > 0) {
"positive"
} else if (x < 0) {
"negative"
} else {
"zero"
}
For Loop
for (i <- 1 to 5) { # loop 1 to 5 (inclusive)
println(i)
}
for (i <- 1 until 5) { } # 1 to 4 (exclusive)
For Comprehension
val result = for { # for comprehension
i <- 1 to 3
j <- 1 to 2
} yield i * j # generates collection
While Loop
while (condition) { # repeat while true
// code
}
do { # execute at least once
// code
} while (condition)
Loop Control
// No break/continue in Scala
// Use return, recursion, or filters instead
