Hi,
Is it ok if I use constructor for the class TestResult? something like this:

Code: Alles auswählen

case class TestResult(myCourse: Course, myGrade: Grade) {
var course = myCourse
var grade= myGrade
}

Best

Hi,

class definitions like

Code: Alles auswählen

class MyClass(param: type)

already create a default constructor. Of course you may specify further constructors but I'd advise to reflect if the default constructor is not already sufficient. Also I'd recommend to have a look at the effects of val and var before a parameter in a class definition, e.g. here: http://www.java2s.com/Tutorials/Java/Sc ... uctors.htm

Thanks for the reply.
I am just wondering the way I define the constructor can affect the grade I get for the exercise or not!
Basically, I am not sure how my code will be tested. When I come to an idea to implement the solution on my way, a little bit different from the sentences written in the exercise sheet, I get worried. One example is that the way I define the default constructor.

}

I think after this you can be able to access myCourse and myGrade, you don't have to do something like that

Code: Alles auswählen

var course = myCourse
var grade= myGrade

furthermore it could be var or val. Correct me if I am wrong, I am also new to Scala.

Yes, that's correct. But you cannot access myCourse and myGrade from anywhere - only from within the class definition. This is similar to a private field in Java. For access from outside you need the val/var modifiers in front of the parameter names.

but for the case class default is val so you don't need to rewrite val it would be redundant.

Great, didn't know that myself
