  | Sequence wildcard pattern is expected at the end of an argument list.
  | This pattern matches any remaining elements in a sequence.
  | Consider the following example:
  |
  | def sumOfTheFirstTwo(list: List[Int]): Int = list match {
  |         |  case List(first, second, x*) => first + second
  |         |  case _ => 0
  |         |}
  |
  | Calling:
  |
  | sumOfTheFirstTwo(List(1, 2, 10))
  |
  | would give 3 as a result

// Place the sequence wildcard at the end using modern syntax
def example(list: List[Int]): Int = list match
  case List(first, second, rest*) => second
  case _ => 0

// Alternative: match the exact number of elements you need
def example(list: List[Int]): Int = list match
  case first :: second :: _ => second
  case _ => 0
