Hi Raj, val c:a=a
what is a here?? trait or object, Its trait not object so val c:a =new a when you say val c=a what gets assigned is object a because in scala like java class address is classn...@hashcode for object objectna...@hashcode I am not sure if it helps. Please tell me if i understood the whole thing wrongly. thanks, SMS On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 9:43 PM, rajkumargoel_786 < rajkumargoel_...@yahoo.co.in> wrote: > > > --- In twincling@yahoogroups.com <twincling%40yahoogroups.com>, Pratik K > Anand <pratik.k.an...@...> wrote: > > > > rajkumargoel_786 wrote: > > > > Now consider the case, > > > scala> trait a > > > defined trait a > > > > > > scala> object a{ > > > | class b extends a > > > | } > > > defined module a > > > > > > scala> val c:a=a > > > <console>:6: error: type mismatch; > > > found : a.type (with underlying type object a) > > > required: a > > > val c:a=a > > > .....can anyone explain the reason > > > > > > > Interesting, this worked but i don't think this is what you asked for... > > > > pra...@pratik:~$ scala > > Welcome to Scala version 2.7.3final (OpenJDK Client VM, Java 1.6.0_0). > > Type in expressions to have them evaluated. > > Type :help for more information. > > > > scala> trait a > > defined trait a > > > > scala> object a { > > | class b extends a > > | } > > defined module a > > > > scala> val c=a > > c: a.type = a...@598d00 > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > HI pratik, > Thats fine ,but what I was asking is > when I specify the type to the val why does it give a error? > not > val c=a > but > val c:a=a {c of type a =a} > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
