Any Scala method with a single statement in the body maybe refactored to follow the single-line convention. If the statement is more than 30 chars but less than 70, it is suggested that you move it to the next line and indent it with 2 spaces.
// format
def function(...): return type = expr
// gets the job done
def add(x: Int, y: Int): Int = {
x + y
}
// preferred
def add(x: Int, y: Int): Int = x + y
// statement with more than 30 chars but less than 70
def sum(ls: List[String]): Int =
ls.map(_.toInt).foldLeft(0)(_ + _)
