// For each item in the collection, print the class type of the element
vector.foreach((i: Any) => println(i, i.getClass.getSimpleName))









    



(Male,String)
(2,Integer)
(true,Boolean)



In [22]:

    
// For each item in the collection
vector.foreach {
    // If one of these, print "Man"
    case "Male" | "M" | "Man" | "Gentleman" | "Boy" => println("Man")
    // For everything else, print "Something Else"
    case _ => println("Something Else")
}
