Then, we learned how we can write literals, and what data types we have in Scala.

Later, we learned one of the most important concepts of Type Inference in Scala. After that, we started with operators, and their precedence. We learned how wrapper classes provide all the richness of functionalities to us as programmers. Finally, we learned a simple, but useful way of processing our String literals using interpolators. Now, it's clear that with some more practice of all these constructs that we've learned we'll be ready to go further and learn about some logical and looping constructs that shape up our programs.
