Why we love Scala at Coursera

Re:Why we love Scala at Coursera by deckiedan on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @03:00PM (#7260655)

Would this be equivalent to:

    plusOne = (x+1 for x in (1,2,3))

And then the second example:

    mult = (x*y for x,y in zip((1,2,3), (4,5,6)))

In python?

yup, not sure what Python does with your examples under the hood, but they're equivalent, and, I must say, nicely concise ;-)

In Scala I guess we could go zip-style and do:

    List(1,2,3) zip List(4,5,6) map{case(x,y)=> x*y}

but I was trying to demo for comprehensions and their relation to map/flatMap for the OP.
