Reports that an asynchronous computation failed.

Test two objects for inequality.
true
if !(this == that), false otherwise.
Equivalent to x.hashCode
except for boxed numeric types and null
. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null
returns a hashcode where null.hashCode
throws a NullPointerException
.
a hash value consistent with ==
The expression x == that
is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)
.
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false
otherwise.
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.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

method is platform dependent.
a copy of the receiver object.
Tests whether the argument (that
) is a reference to the receiver object (this
).
The eq
method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef
, and has three additional properties:
x
and y
of type AnyRef
, multiple invocations of x.eq(y)
consistently returns true
or consistently returns false
.For any non-null instance x
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(null)
and null.eq(x)
returns false
.
null.eq(null)
returns true
. When overriding the equals
or hashCode
methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2
), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2
) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode
).
true
if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false
otherwise.
The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq
.

true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false
otherwise.
Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.
The details of when and if the finalize
method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize
and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

Returns string formatted according to given format

(@see java.lang.String.format).
Returns the runtime class representation of the object.
a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.
The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.
the hash code value for this object.
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.

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

An
ExecutionContext
can execute program logic asynchronously, typically but not necessarily on a thread pool.A general purpose
ExecutionContext
must be asynchronous in executing anyRunnable
that is passed into itsexecute
-method. A special purposeExecutionContext
may be synchronous but must only be passed to code that is explicitly safe to be run using a synchronously executingExecutionContext
.APIs such as
Future.onComplete
require you to provide a callback and an implicitExecutionContext
. The implicitExecutionContext
will be used to execute the callback.While it is possible to simply import
scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
to obtain an implicitExecutionContext
, application developers should carefully consider where they want to set execution policy; ideally, one place per application—or per logically related section of code— will make a decision about whichExecutionContext
to use. That is, you will mostly want to avoid hardcoding, especially via an import,scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
. The recommended approach is to add(implicit ec: ExecutionContext)
to methods, or class constructor parameters, which need anExecutionContext
.Then locally import a specific
ExecutionContext
in one place for the entire application or module, passing it implicitly to individual methods. Alternatively define a local implicit val with the requiredExecutionContext
.A custom
ExecutionContext
may be appropriate to execute code which blocks on IO or performs long-running computations.ExecutionContext.fromExecutorService
andExecutionContext.fromExecutor
are good ways to create a customExecutionContext
.The intent of
ExecutionContext
is to lexically scope code execution. That is, each method, class, file, package, or application determines how to run its own code. This avoids issues such as running application callbacks on a thread pool belonging to a networking library. The size of a networking library's thread pool can be safely configured, knowing that only that library's network operations will be affected. Application callback execution can be configured separately.
