Abstract: Abstract In our daily life, we encounter data of varying nature. For instance, our names consist of letters, our mobile numbers are numbers, our decisions are usually yes (true) or no (false). To represent these and many other types, every programming language has a type system to support this notion. Using the combination of different types that come with a language’s type system, we can create variables associated with these types to implement tasks of varying nature. Like many other languages, Scala has a strong type system (which in fact is more sophisticated than many others) and there are different types available out of the box that you can use and work with.
