Downloaded Scala IDE from TypeSafe. The simplest thing to test is to write a ‘Hello Word’ program. I did that by creating a Scala Object. Here is the code

1
2
3
4

package greeter

object helloworld {
    println("hello, world")
}

I proceeded to run it by using the ‘Run it…’. I expected to see ‘Run as Scala Application’ but the option was not there.

Turns out it is my mistake. I need to extends the object from App:

1
2
3
4

package greeter

object helloworld extends App{
    println("hello, world")
}

Then the option will appear (as shown here):

Simple R vector

 [16] 16 17 18 19 20

[1] means the index of the element in the resultant vector

Do not have git on my rebuilt MBP. Was about to hit ‘brew install git’. Then I realised: I already have git installed. It is part of XCode.

So it is what I did: add the following line to .bash_rc
