Q1Domain Verified
In the context of functional programming in Scala, what is the primary characteristic that distinguishes a pure function from an impure one, particularly concerning side effects?
A pure function's output depends solely on its input arguments and it has no observable side effects.
A pure function is characterized by its ability to perform I/O operations synchronously without impacting referential transparency.
A pure function can freely modify global state or external resources as long as the output is consistent for the same input.
A pure function guarantees that it will always execute faster than an impure function due to its lack of side effects.

Consider a scenario where you have a large collection of data and need to apply a transformation to each element, followed by a filtering operation. Which functional programming concept in Scala is most idiomatic and efficient for this sequence of operations, emphasizing immutability and avoiding explicit loops?
Employing a `for` comprehension that internally uses mutable variables to track intermediate results.
Using `map` followed by `filter` on an immutable collection.
Implementing a recursive function that iterates through the collection, modifies elements, and then checks a condition to include them in a new list.
Using a `while` loop with an index to access and transform elements, building a new collection in a mutable buffer.
Q3Domain Verified
In Scala, when dealing with potentially absent values, which of the following is the most "functional" way to handle such scenarios, promoting safety and explicitness?
D) Returning a default sentinel value (e.g., -1 for an integer, empty string for a string) when a value is absent.
Using `Option[T]` and its combinators like `map`, `flatMap`, and `getOrElse`.
Throwing exceptions when a value is expected but not foun
Relying on null checks using `if (x != null)` statements throughout the codebase.
