I failed to write : Good-looking assignment to private Array

[Heep Po]

class GoodLookingAssign
{
  private var theScore = Array(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

  // To return theScore(i)   // Example use : println(score(0))  // it's OK
  def score(i:Int): Double = theScore(i)

  // To set theScore(i)   // Example use : score(1) = 4.4 // it's go complier error
  // I get this idea from section "Property" in : http://www.codecommit.com/blog/scala/scala-for-java-refugees-part-2
  def score(i:Int)_=(v:Double) = { theScore(i) = checkValid(v) }

  // To ensure that score is not negative
  def checkValid(x:Double): Double = {
    var out = x
    if (out < 0) { out = 0}
    out
  }
} // ################# END Class ################

object ApplyGoodLooking
{
  def main(args: Array[String])
  {
    val g = new GoodLookingAssign()
    println("g.score(0) = "+g.score(0))

    g.score(1) = 4.4
    println("g.score(0) = "+g.score(0))
  } // ------------ End main ------------

} // ################# END Object ################

Thanks for suggestion

Welcome to the Ranch.

Instead of this:

def score(i:Int)_=(v:Double)

try this:

def score_=(i: Int)(v: Double)

(I have not tested it, but I think that will work).

The _= is part of the method name. You should put it with the method name, not after the (i: Int) argument list.

Thanks to your response, Jesper de Jong, but your solution produces compiler error.

And I've got the solution at:
