Chapter 6: A Beginner's Tutorial To Using Scala's Immutable Collection
By Nadim Bahadoor | Last updated: March 16, 2018 at 13:27 pm
In this section, we will go over how to use the Immutable Collection in the Scala programming language.
If you recall from the Scala Features Tutorial, as a functional programming language, Scala favours the use of immutability. As a result, it should be of no surprise that Scala comes built-in with a suite of immutable collections.
Throughout the tutorials we will use the popular IntelliJ IDEA which we've setup in Chapter 1. I hope that by now you are more comfortable using IntelliJ. If not, feel free to review the previous tutorials from Chapter 1!
In this chapter, we will provide tutorials on the topics below. If none of these make any sense right now, that's OK :)
