Scala : Significance of file generated with $ during compile

Question

Please note that I am beginner to Scala. Can someone please explain what is the significance of the class file with $ in it.

The files ending with $ are jvm static classes related to the "singleton" objects in your .scala files

You can read this other answer for reference: Singletons as Synthetic classes in Scala?
