scala: Execute a single Scala command in the command-line.
$ scala -e ${command}
try on your machine

The command "scala -e ${command}" is a command-line statement used for executing a Scala expression from the command line.

Here's a breakdown of the components in this command:

  1. "scala": This is the Scala interpreter command that invokes the Scala interpreter.
  2. "-e": This option specifies that the following argument is a Scala expression to be evaluated.
  3. "${command}": This is a placeholder representing the actual Scala expression that you want to execute. You can replace "${command}" with your desired Scala expression.

When you run this command, the Scala interpreter (scala) will evaluate the Scala expression provided after the -e option and display the resulting output or outcome.

For example, if you have a Scala expression like "println("Hello, World!")", and you run the command "scala -e println("Hello, World!")", it will execute the expression and print "Hello, World!" as the output.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
