Theory
  • Arity-1
    Scala has a special syntax for invoking methods of arity-1 (one argument):
    names.mkString(",")
    // is the same as
    names mkString ","
    
    This syntax is formally known as “infix notation”. It should only be used for purely-functional methods (methods with no side-effects) - such as mkString -or methods which take functions as parameters - such as foreach:
    // right!
    names foreach (n => println(n))
    names mkString ","
    optStr getOrElse ""
    // wrong!
