type alias
Sat, 2009-02-07, 09:04
I wrote a class in which "Map[String, Double]" appears several times. Since I am an obsessive minimalist, I am wondering if there is a way to define a type alias so I can refer to it more succinctly. If so, how?
By the way, what is the proper pronunciation of "Scala"? Is the first "a" long or short, or does it sound like "scholar"? Thanks.

"SCAH-lah", with long "a"s. (This is documented somewhere, either
online or in the Artima book; I forget where. Also, it's an Italian
word.)

See the FAQ on the Scala wiki :

type MyMap = Map[String, Double]
