In Scala, the * symbol represents multiplication, and you can use it to perform times operation.
Here are some examples of using times in Scala:
1. Multiplying two numbers:
val a = 5
val b = 3
val c = a * b // result 15
2. Printing a message multiple times using a for-loop:
for(i <- 1 to 5) {
println("Hello World!")
}
Output:
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
3. Creating an array with a specified number of elements:
val arr = Array.fill(5)(0)
// Output: [0,0,0,0,0]
4. Repeating a string multiple times:
val str = "Scala Rocks!" * 3
// Output: "Scala Rocks!Scala Rocks!Scala Rocks!"
In Scala, times operation can be performed with both numbers and strings. You can also use for-loops, arrays and other features to work with times.
