Algebraic Types in Scala???

If you have ever looked into Scala at any point you would’ve heard the term Algebraic Data Types

The goal here is to attempt to explain what that is since it’s kind of an obscure concept from an OO view point. Even though you could draw a parallel between algebraic types and Composition vs Inheritance, it’s not quite the same thing. So it’s worth while to try to understand ADT for what it is.

So, the age-old question, Java vs. ‘fill in the blank’. If you are a java developer (sorry Engineer), then you love Java, and you spend time arguing with co-workers about why Java is better or at least not worse than their language of choice. These arguments never end, and will never end, that’s because there are so many languages out there and every month some new language is created which is claimed to be the solution to all our problems.
