Scala equivalent of Python help()

I'm proficient in Python but a noob at Scala. I'm about to write some dirty experiment code in Scala, and came across the thought that it would be really handy if Scala had a function like help() in Python. For example, if I wanted to see the built-in methods for a Scala Array I might want to type something like help(Array), just like I would type help(list) in Python. Does such a thing exist for Scala?

Solution

  • I do not know of one built-in but you should use Scaladocs to find the same information.

    Unless you use eclipse which has an auto complete with short explanations. For instance it will give you all the commands for arrays after typing 'array.'.
