Some sample code regarding Scala Vs Java code verbosity

ScalaVsJava.md

JAVA

List<Integer> even = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (String num : numbersAsStrings) {
 int parsedInt = Integer.parseInt(num);
 if (parsedInt % 2 == 0) {
  ints.add(parsedInt);
 }
} 

Scala

Several way to do this in scala

val ints = for (num <- numbersAsStrings; if num.toInt % 2 == 0) yield num.toInt

val ints = numbersAsStrings map { _.toInt } filter {_ % 2 == 0}

val ints = numbersAsString.foldLeft(List[Int]()) { (arr, str) => val n = str.toInt; if (n % 2 == 0) n::arr else arr };

val ints = numbersAsString.foldLeft(List[Int]()) { (arr, str) => ((n:Int) => if (n % 2 == 0) n::arr else arr )(str.toInt) };

val ints = for { s <- numbersAsString; i = s.toInt; if i % 2 == 0} yield i;

val ints = numbersAsString collect { _.toInt match { case n if (n % 2 == 0) => n } }
