Member

class Member(val id: Int, val name: String, val yearOfBirth: Int, val yearOfDeath: Option[Int])

Each instance of class Member represents an individual person, recorded by an (imaginary) society-membership app. A member has a number of basic attributes such as a name and a year of birth.

Once created, a Member object is immutable; to represent changes in a person, one should create a new instance of the class.

Value parameters:
id

a number that uniquely identifies the member from other members of the society

name

the member’s name

yearOfBirth

the year the member was born

yearOfDeath

the year the member died (wrapped in an Option; None if the member is alive)

class Object
trait Matchable
class Any
