analogous Try block to try/finally block in scala
functional-programming, scala
Solution
Given that an exception inside a `Try` simply creates a `Failure` value (as opposed to transferring control to an outer catch block when using `try`), the code in your original `finally` block would just need to be executed after the `Try`. In other words, this will do:
timer.start()
val result = Try{
doThis()
}
timer.cancel()
result
As far as I know there is no built-in shortcut that would allow to avoid capturing `result` just to return it as is.
Problem
What is the analogous in manners of scala `Try` to: ``` timer.start() try { doThis() } finally { timer.cancel() } ```
