# Class

A Scala class is a template for Scala objects. A class can contain information about:

Fields

Constructors

Methods

Superclasses (inheritance)

Interfaces implemented by the class

```
class Greeter(prefix: String, suffix: String) {
def greet(name: String): Unit =
println(prefix + name + suffix)
}
val greeter = new Greeter("Hello, ", "!")
greeter.greet("Scala developer") // Hello, Scala developer!
```

```
class aClass {
    var aField : Int = 0;
    def this(aValue : Int) = {
        this();
        this.aField = aValue;
    }    
  }
 
val myObj=new aClass(1)
myObj.aField

/*
res35: Int = 1
*/
```

### Case Class (You can instantiate case classes without the new keyword:)

```
case class Point(x: Int, y: Int)
val point = Point(1, 2)
val anotherPoint = Point(1, 2)
val yetAnotherPoint = Point(2, 2)
if (point == anotherPoint) {
println(point + " and " + anotherPoint + " are the same.")
} else {
println(point + " and " + anotherPoint + " are different.")
} // Point(1,2) and Point(1,2) are the same.
if (point == yetAnotherPoint) {
println(point + " and " + yetAnotherPoint + " are the same.")
} else {
println(point + " and " + yetAnotherPoint + " are different.")
} // Point(1,2) and Point(2,2) are different.
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://george-jen.gitbook.io/data-science-and-apache-spark/scala-class.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
