Create a Scala Application

Start by creating a simple Scala application. Open your favourite code editor I prefer VS Code and create a new file, for example, Hello.scala. Enter the following code:

Scala




// Scala program to print Hello World!
object Geeks {
   
  // Main Method
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
     
    // prints Hello World
    println("Hello Geeks!")
  }
}


After completing the installation process, any IDE or text editor can be used to write Scala Codes and Run them on the IDE or the Command prompt with the use of command:

scalac file_name.Scala
scala class_name

Output
