用于表示字符串标量的符号

Question

I went through the answer on Purpose of Scala's Symbol?

I want to create a Symbol but it has space in it.

Ex:

val s = "Hello World"
val syb = 'Hello World

syb gives compile time error. Is it possible to create a Symbol with spaces?

Answer 1

It is possible to create a Symbol with spaces with the Symbol.apply method:

scala> val syb = Symbol("Hello World")
syb: Symbol = 'Hello World
