Cheat Sheet for Scala 3 Pattern Matching Constructs

val y = 3
def pattern(x: Matchable): String = x match

  // constant patterns
  case 0 => "zero"
  case true => "true"
  case "hello" => "you said 'hello'"
  case Nil => "an empty List"

  // sequence patterns
  case List(0, _, _) => "a 3-element list with 0 as the first element"
  case List(1, _*) => "list, starts with 1, has any number of elements"
  case Vector(1, _*) => "vector, starts w/ 1, has any number of elements"
  case Nil => "abc"
  case x :: xs => s"$x"
  case x :: Nil => s"$x"

  // tuple patterns
  case (a, b) => s"got $a and $b"
  case (a, b, c) => s"got $a, $b, and $c"

  // constructor patterns
  case Person(first, "Alexander") => s"Alexander, first name = $first"
  case Dog("Zeus") => "found a dog named Zeus"

  // type test patterns
  case s: String => s"got a string: $s"
  case i: Int => s"got an int: $i"
  case f: Float => s"got a float: $f"
  case a: Array[Int] => s"array of int: ${a.mkString(",")}"
  case as: Array[String] => s"string array: ${as.mkString(",")}"
  case d: Dog => s"dog: ${d.name}"
  case list: List[?] => s"got a List: $list"
  case list: List[X] => s"got a List: $list"
  case m: Map[?, ?] => m.toString
  case m: Map[A, B] => m.toString
  case _: String => s"got a string"

  // variable patterns
  case y => s"$y"
  case _ => "Unknown" // the default wildcard pattern

  // Variable-binding patterns (Seite 109)
  case x @ List(1, _*) => s"$x"
  case x @ Some(_) => s"$x"
  case p @ Person(first, "Doe") => s"$p"

  // the contents of variable y (defined at the top)
  case `y` => s"$y"
