Running Scripts with scala

Running Scripts with scala

The scala command can directly run a .scala file without a separate compile step, making it convenient for quick scripts, though it compiles internally before running. For larger projects, scalac compiles to .class files ahead of time, which then run faster on repeat execution. Judge0 compiles your submitted code with scalac before running it.

Note: scala file.scala compiles and runs a script in one command, ideal for quick, one-off programs.

Example: Running Scripts with scala

markup
object Main extends App {
  println("This program was compiled and run via the scala toolchain")
}
