Type parameters applied to Scala Function

Question

I am trying to understand the type parameters when applied to a function.

I would like to use Generic Types in the below method but using String and Int for my understa

Answer 1

Try

def myfunc(f:String => Int):Int =  {
  Integer.min(1,2)
}

When you write def myfunc[Int](f:String => Int):Int you declare type parameter Int, which hides standard type scala.Int. This is the same as if you declared def myfunc[A](f:String => A):A. When you remove return type it's inferred to be scala.Int, i.e. def myfunc[A](f:String => A) is def myfunc[A](f:String => A):Int
