Scala - Creating a Simple Trait

Here, we will create a simple trait with an abstract method. A trait is just like an interface. A may contain, abstract and non-abstract methods.

Scala code to create a simple trait

The source code to create a simple trait is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to create a simple trait

trait SampleTrait {
  def sayHello();
}

class Test extends SampleTrait {
  def sayHello() {
    println("Hello World");
  }
}

object Sample {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    var obj = new Test();
    obj.sayHello();
  }
}

Output

Hello World

Explanation

In the above program, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. Here, we created a trait SampleTrait that contains an abstract method sayHello(). Then we extend the SampleTrait into the Test class and implemented the sayHello() method.

Then we created a singleton object Sample and defined the main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created an object of the Test class and called sayHello() method to print the "Hello World" message on the console screen.
