Steps

1. How to initialize a Sequence of donuts

The code below shows how to create a Sequence of donuts of type String.

println("Step 1: How to initialize a Sequence of donuts")
val donuts: Seq[String] = Seq("Plain Donut", "Strawberry Donut", "Glazed Donut")
println(s"Elements of donuts = $donuts")

You should see the following output when you run your Scala application in IntelliJ:

Step 1: How to initialize a Sequence of donuts
Elements of donuts = List(Plain Donut, Strawberry Donut, Glazed Donut)

2. How to take elements from the sequence using the take function

Using the donuts sequence from Step 1, you can use the take method to return a new collection with donut elements up to the N parameter of the take method.

println("\nStep 2: How to take elements from the sequence using the take function")
println(s"Take the first donut element in the sequence = ${donuts.take(1)}")
println(s"Take the first and second donut elements in the sequence = ${donuts.take(2)}")
println(s"Take the first, second and third donut elements in the sequence = ${donuts.take(3)}")

You should see the following output when you run your Scala application in IntelliJ:

Step 2: How to take elements from the sequence using the take function
Take the first donut element in the sequence = List(Plain Donut)
Take the first and second donut elements in the sequence = List(Plain Donut, Strawberry Donut)
Take the first, second and third donut elements in the sequence = List(Plain Donut, Strawberry Donut, Glazed Donut)

NOTE:

• If you pass in an integer parameter N to the take method where N is larger than the size of the collection, the take method will return all the elements in the collection.
