Answer 1

Try with added generic to Failure:

def lastWithRecursion(input: Seq[Int]): Try[Int] = input match {
    case head :: Nil => Success(head)
    case _ :: tail => lastWithRecursion(tail)
    case _ => Failure[Int](new NoSuchElementException("No such element")) // how to avoid inferred type containing nothing.
}
