Abstract Value Members

abstract def /:[B](z: B)(op: (B, A) ⇒ B): B

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this collection or iterator, going left to right.

Note: /: is alternate syntax for foldLeft; z /: xs is the same as xs foldLeft z.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (5 /: a)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (5 /: a)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

z

the start value.

op

the binary operator.

returns

the result of inserting op between consecutive elements of this collection or iterator, going left to right with the start value z on the left:

op(...op(op(z, x_1), x_2), ..., x_n)

where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection or iterator.

abstract def :\[B](z: B)(op: (A, B) ⇒ B): B

Applies a binary operator to all elements of this collection or iterator and a start value, going right to left.

Note: :\ is alternate syntax for foldRight; xs :\ z is the same as xs foldRight z.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (a :\ 5)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (a :\ 5)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15
B

the result type of the binary operator.

z

the start value

op

the binary operator

returns

the result of inserting op between consecutive elements of this collection or iterator, going right to left with the start value z on the right:

op(x_1, op(x_2, ... op(x_n, z)...))

where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection or iterator.

abstract def aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B

Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It is similar to foldLeft in that it doesn't require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

aggregate splits the collection or iterator into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying seqop, starting with z (like foldLeft). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop (like fold). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })
B

the type of accumulated results

z

the initial value for the accumulated result of the partition - this will typically be the neutral element for the seqop operator (e.g. Nil for list concatenation or 0 for summation) and may be evaluated more than once

seqop

an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

combop

an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

abstract def find(p: (A) ⇒ Boolean): Option[A]

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Definition Classes
Any

abstract def hasDefiniteSize: Boolean

Tests whether this collection or iterator is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

returns

true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.

abstract def isEmpty: Boolean

Tests whether the collection or iterator is empty.

Note: Implementations in subclasses that are not repeatedly traversable must take care not to consume any elements when isEmpty is called.

returns

true if the collection or iterator contains no elements, false otherwise.

Tests whether this collection or iterator can be repeatedly traversed. Always true for Traversables and false for Iterators unless overridden.

returns

true if it is repeatedly traversable, false otherwise.

abstract def mkString: String

abstract def mkString(sep: String): String

Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string using a separator string.

sep

the separator string.

returns

a string representation of this collection or iterator. In the resulting string the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection or iterator are separated by the string sep.

Example:

    List(1, 2, 3).mkString("|") = "1|2|3"

abstract def mkString(start: String, sep: String, end: String): String

Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string using start, end, and separator strings.

    List(1, 2, 3).mkString("(", "; ", ")") = "(1; 2; 3)"

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

    It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

abstract def foreach(f: (A) ⇒ Unit): Unit

def hashCode(): Int

Calculate a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

returns

the hash code value for this object.

Definition Classes
Any

final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.
