Overriding vals in Scala

Question

I have tried to override val in Scala as this:

trait T{
  val str: String
}

sealed abstract class Test extends T{
  val str: String = \"str\"
}

class Test1         


        

Answer 1

Scala compiler does not allow to use super on a val. If you are not caring about re-evaluation, you can just use def instead.

trait T{
  def str: String
}

sealed abstract class Test extends T{
  def str: String = "str"
}

class Test1 extends Test{
  def str = super.str + "test1" //super may not be used on value str
}

defined trait T
defined class Test
defined class Test1
