How to use switch/case (simple pattern matching) in Scala?

Question

I\'ve found myself stuck on a very trivial thing :-]

I\'ve got an enum:

 object Eny extends Enumeration {
      type Eny = Value
      val FOO, BAR, WOOZ         


        

Answer 1

The following code works fine for me: it produces 6

object Eny extends Enumeration {
  type Eny = Value
  val FOO, BAR, WOOZLE, DOOZLE = Value
}

import Eny._

class EnumTest {
    def doit(en: Eny) = {
        val num = en match {
          case FOO => 4
          case BAR => 5
          case WOOZLE => 6
          case DOOZLE => 7
        }       

        num
    }
}

object EnumTest {
    def main(args: Array[String]) = {
        println("" + new EnumTest().doit(WOOZLE))
    }
}

Could you say how this differs from your problem please?
