`def` vs `val` vs `lazy val` evaluation in Scala

Question

Am I right understanding that

• def is evaluated every time it gets accessed

• lazy val is evaluated once it gets acce

Answer 1

def defines a method. When you call the method, the method ofcourse runs.

val defines a value (an immutable variable). The assignment expression is evaluated when the value is initialized.

lazy val defines a value with delayed initialization. It will be initialized when it's first used, so the assignment expression will be evaluated then.
