Scala case match default value

Question

How can I get the default value in match case?

//Just an example, this value is usually not known
val something: String = \"value\"

something match {
    case \         


        

Answer 1

something match {
    case "val" => "default"
    case default => smth(default)
}

It is not a keyword, just an alias, so this will work as well:

something match {
    case "val" => "default"
    case everythingElse => smth(everythingElse)
}
