`f` is where everything happens. In Scala, the `print` method doesn't add a newline, but that doesn't matter to us. Both Scala and Python have a `replace` method on strings and can multiply strings by numbers, but they have different ways of turning integers into strings, which is why the `chr` method is defined later for Scala's benefit. It's already present in Python, but the interpreter sees it after `f`, and it's never run anyway. `s` is a string literal which contains basically the entire program, but the definition of `s` is replaced with `Q`. In `f`, this `Q` is replaced with `"""<contents of s>"""` to mirror the definition of `s`, and that gets printed.
While Python can have expressions outside functions and classes, Scala needs a main method. Thus, the call to `f` is put inside a `class M`. Python runs this when the class loads, while Scala calls it in the method `q`, when the constructor is called using `M()`. However, to make the `@main` annotation to work with Python, a function named `main` was made.
`chr` is already defined in Python, and to make it work in Scala, the `chr` method converts an integer to a string based on its ASCII value.
`Int` and `String` are Scala builtins that we need to annotate the parameters to `f` and `chr` with, but Python doesn't know about them, which is why `def String()` and `def Int()` are defined. I made them functions instead of plain variables because Scala requires variables to be declared with `val` and `var`, something that is not possible in Python. While Scala sees `def String` as a method that takes nothing and can output `Any` value (specifically, `0`), Python sees it as setting the value of a variable `Any` to `0`. Neither of these two have any real impact on the code other than making it work nicely with Python.
