Scala For the Impatient: Quiz Questions

[Will Myers]

One of the frustrating things I found with the Java 8 version is that the quizzes had no answers or hints so it was painful to know if I was on the right track, does this book do the same? As my level of Scala proficiency is quite low I could burn a lot of time trying to solve them...

I am a bit of a "tough love" guy here. If you spend a lot of time with the exercises, that's great. That means you are learning something that you didn't know before. There is no law that says you have to solve them in 15 minutes.

Then again, if they are too frustrating, I'd like to know. Frustration is bad for learning. I can come up with a set of simpler exercises that gets readers up to the next level.

And yes, I know there are StackOverflow answers and Github sites with solutions. I purposefully don't publish my solutions because I think you learn more from reading the discussions and analyzing the attempts than from looking at the canonical answer.

Cheers,
