What is Typeclasses?
Typeclasses are a concept used in functional programming to achieve ad-hoc polymorphism. They define a set of functions that can be implemented for a type fulfilling certain requirements, providing a way to add functionality to existing types without modifying their source code. Typeclasses are not natively supported in Scala but can be implemented using traits and implicit classes.
