// - variable.toType // Conversion methods (e.g., toInt, toDouble)
// Note:
// - Be cautious with explicit conversions, as they can lead to errors if the conversion is not valid.

// - src/
// - main/
// - scala/
// - Contains Scala source files organized by package.
// - java/
// - Optional: Contains Java source files if the project mixes Scala and Java.
// - resources/
// - Contains non-compiled resources like configurations, JSON files, etc.
// - test/
// - scala/
// - Contains Scala test files, typically using frameworks like ScalaTest or Specs2.
// - java/
// - Optional: Contains Java test files if the project mixes Scala and Java.
// - resources/
// - Test-specific resources.
// - lib/
// - Optional: Contains unmanaged library dependencies (jars).
// - target/
// - Contains compiled bytecode and other build artifacts.
// Note:
// - The structure is based on SBT's standard layout.
// - Use the 'lib' directory for unmanaged dependencies, although managed dependencies
// in the build.sbt file are preferred.

cotrTypes

Scala Types

$BLOCK_COMMENT_START
Scala is a statically typed language.
Types in Scala include:
- Int: Integer
- Double: Double-precision floating-point number
- Float: Single-precision floating-point number
- Char: Character
- Boolean: Boolean
- String: String
- Array[T]: Array of type T
- List[T]: List of type T
- Set[T]: Set of unique elements of type T
- Map[K, V]: Map with key type K and value type V
- Any: Base type of all non-nullable types
- Unit: Type with only one value - Unit (similar to void)
- Nothing: Type with no values - used for functions that never return
- Option[T]: Type representing a value of type T or None
- Function types (e.g., (Int, Int) => Int): Types representing functions
- Case classes: Classes primarily used to hold data
- Sealed classes: Classes that restrict which other classes can inherit from them
- Enum classes: Enumeration classes
- Object: Singleton object
- Trait: Interface type

cotrVarSyntax

Scala Variable Declaration Syntax

// Scala Variable Declaration Syntax:
// - var: (Scope: Block or Class)
// - Can be reassigned.
// - Use for variables that need to be changed.
// - val: (Scope: Block or Class)
// - Cannot be reassigned after initialization.
// - Preferred for values that should remain constant.
// Note:
// - Use 'val' by default for values that won't change.
// - Use 'var' only when you need to reassign the variable.
