Question 26. What is a higher-order function?
A higher-order function is a function that takes other functions as parameters or returns functions as results.
Question 27. Explain pattern matching in Scala.
Pattern matching is a powerful feature in Scala that allows you to match complex data structures, making code more concise and readable.
Question 28. What is the purpose of the 'apply' method in Scala?
The 'apply' method is a special method in Scala that is invoked when an object is called like a function. It is often used to create objects without using the 'new' keyword.
Question 29. What is the difference between 'map' and 'flatMap' in Scala?
'map' applies a function to each element of a collection and returns a new collection of the results, while 'flatMap' applies a function that returns a collection to each element and flattens the results into a single collection.
