Scala How to use extends with an anonymous class

scala

Solution

Yep, and it looks pretty much the same as it does in Java:

abstract class Salutation {
  def saybye: String = "Bye"
}

val hello = new Salutation {
  def sayhello: String = "hello" 
}

val hi = hello.sayhello
val bye = hello.saybye

If `Salutation` is an abstract class or trait with a `sayhello` method with the same signature, you'll have provided an implementation; otherwise you'll have created an instance of an anonymous structural type:

hello: Salutation{def sayhello: String}

Note that calls to the `sayhello` method involve reflection (because of the way structural types are implemented in Scala), so if you're using this method heavily you should probably define a new trait or class.

Problem

Is there a way to extends another class from an Anonymous class in Scala? I means something like ``` abstract class Salutation { def saybye(): String = "Bye" } class anotherClass() { def dummyFunction() = { val hello = new { def sayhello(): String = "hello" } extends Salutation val hi = hello.sayhello //hi value is "Hello" val bye = hello.saybye //bye value is "bye" } } ```
