I have the following code snippet:
import scala.io.Source
object test extends App {
val lineIterator = Source.fromFile("test1.txt").getLines()
val fileContent = lineIterator.foldLeft(List[String]())((list, currentLine) => {
currentLine :: list
list
})
fileContent foreach println
}
Let's assume the test1.txt
file is not empty and has some values in it.
So my question about the foldLeft
function is, why does this example here return an empty list, and when I remove the list
at the end of the foldLeft
function it works?
Why is it returning an empty list under the value fileContent
?
