Overriding unapply method

Question

I have a case from a library class and I want to override unapply method to reduce the number of parameters I need to pass to

Answer 1

I would ditch the overloaded unapply and just use the following for the match:

a match {
  case MyClass(x, _, _, _) => x  // Result is: 1
  case _ => "no"
}

EDIT :

If you really want to avoid the extra underscores, I think you'll need to look at something like:

a match {
  case x:MyClass => x.a
  case _ => "no"
}
