Object-Oriented Scala

"The object-oriented model makes it easy to build up programs by accretion. What this often means, in practice, is that it provides a structured way to write spaghetti code."

- Paul Graham

In the previous chapter, we looked at how to get programming started with Scala. Well, if you're writing the procedural program that we followed in the previous chapter, you can enforce the code reusability by creating procedures or functions. However, if you continue working, consequently, your program gets longer, bigger, and more complex. At a certain point, you will not even have any other more simple way to organize the entire code before production.

On the contrary, the object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm provides a whole new layer of abstraction. You can then modularize your code through defining OOP entities such as classes with related properties...
