What is the use of App class in Scala

Question

How App class can be used in Scala? Can anyone give an example an explain?

Answer 1

Hi,

Scala provides a helper class, called App, that provides the main method. Instead of writing your own main method, classes can extend the App class to produce concise and executable applications in Scala. 

Here is an example is shown:

object Main extends App {
  Console.println("Hello Scala: " + (args aString ", "))
}

Here, object Main inherits the main method of App trait and args returns the current command-line arguments as an array, similar to String[] args in Java main method.

Hope this helps!!
