Case Class

Definitions

In Scala, a class annotated with the case keyword that automatically generates equals, hashCode, toString, copy, and a companion-object apply method — designed for immutable data modeling and pattern matching.
In plain English: A special kind of Scala class that automatically gives you useful features like comparison, printing, and copying — ideal for holding data.
Example: "Define case class User(name: String, age: Int) and you get structural equality, destructuring, and copy-with-changes for free."
