final
class
Symbol(val
name : java.lang.String)
extends
AnyRef
This class provides a simple way to get unique objects for
equal strings. Since symbols are interned, they can be compared using
reference equality. Instances of
Symbol
can be created easily with Scala's built-in
quote mechanism.
For instance, the Scala
term 'mysym
will invoke the constructor of the
Symbol
class in the following way:
Symbol("mysym")
.
