- Describe a case where an implicit parameter is also an implicit conversion.
This is the case if an implicit parameter is a function: def func[A, T](a: A)(implicit adapter: A => T): T = adapter(a).
- Replace the following definition that uses view bounds with one using context bounds: def compare[T <% Comparable[T]](x: T, y: T) = x < y.
type ComparableContext[T] = T => Comparable[T]
def compare[T : ComparableContext](x: T, y: T) = x < y
- Why are type classes sometimes said to separate behavior and data?
Because type class instances define logic to work and the data comes from the values the type class is applied to.
It is easy to change the example of possible conflicts in lexical scope so that one of the implicits wins over others and all others can be uncommented without having conflicts anymore. Make this change. For example, it can be done by changing...
