Static inner classes in scala

Question

What is the analog in Scala of doing this in Java:

public class Outer {
  private Inner inner;

  public static class Inner {
  }

  public Inner getInner()          


        

Answer 1

In scala if you need to create a some static methods you can use a companion object, with the same name of the class, where you store all the pseudo static methods. Ex:

class A {
}

object A {
    def xpto // define some pseudo static methods here..
}

Then you can just use A.xpto.
