Tables

Object containing one apply factory method for each TableFor<n> class.

For example, you could create a table of 5 rows and 2 colums like this:

import org.scalatest.prop.Tables._

val examples =
 Table(
   ("a", "b"),
   (  1,   2),
   (  2,   4),
   (  4,   8),
   (  8,  16),
   ( 16,  32)
 )

Because you supplied 2 members in each tuple, the type you'll get back will be a TableFor2. If you wanted a table with just one column you could write this:

val moreExamples =
 Table(
   "powerOfTwo",
        1,
        2,
        4,
        8,
        16
 )

Or if you wanted a table with 10 columns and 10 rows, you could do this:

val multiplicationTable =
 Table(
   ("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"),
   (  1,   2,   3,   4,   5,   6,   7,   8,   9,  10),
   (  2,   4,   6,   8,  10,  12,  14,  16,  18,  20),
   (  3,   6,   9,  12,  15,  18,  21,  24,  27,  30),
   (  4,   8,  12,  16,  20,  24,  28,  32,  36,  40),
   (  5,  10,  15,  20,  25,  30,  35,  40,  45,  50),
   (  6,  12,  18,  24,  30,  36,  42,  48,  54,  60),
   (  7,  14,  21,  28,  35,  42,  49,  56,  63,  70),
   (  8,  16,  24,  32,  40,  48,  56,  64,  72,  80),
   (  9,  18,  27,  36,  45,  54,  63,  72,  81,  90),
   ( 10,  20,  30,  40,  50,  60,  70,  80,  90, 100)
 )

The type of multiplicationTable would be TableFor10. You can pass the resulting tables to a forAll method (defined in trait PropertyChecks), to perform a property check with the data in the table. Or, because tables are sequences of tuples, you can treat them as a Seq.
