What is the result of code execution?

def dropWhile[A](l: List[A], f: A => Boolean): List[A] =
  l match {
    case Cons(h, t) if f(h) => dropWhile(t, f)
    case _ => l
  }

dropWhile(Nil, (x: Int) => x > 0)

Assuming the following code is available for your reference


sealed trait List[+A]
case object Nil extends List[Nothing]
case class Cons[+A](head: A, tail: List[A]) extends List[A]

List(1, 2, 3)
List(2,3)
List(3)
List(1)
Nil

Explanation

dropWhile removes elements from the List prefix as long as they match a predicate.
Nil is an empty List and doesn’t match first expression with Cons(h, t). It matched the second part, which accepts anything and returns current list, which is Nil.
