Type Members

class GroupedIterator[B >: A] extends AbstractIterator[immutable.Seq[B]]

A flexible iterator for transforming an Iterator[A] into an Iterator[Seq[A]], with configurable sequence size, step, and strategy for dealing with elements which don't fit evenly.

Typical uses can be achieved via methods grouped and sliding.

Concrete Value Members

Test two objects for inequality.

returns

true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

final def ##(): Int

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.

returns

a hash value consistent with ==

Example:

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

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> val h = a.addString(b)
h: StringBuilder = 1234

Example:

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

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()

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.

returns

the receiver object.

Exceptions thrown

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

def buffered: BufferedIterator[A]

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

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:

    It is consistent: for any non-null instances 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).

returns

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

Definition Classes

def equals(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

def flatMap[B](f: (A) => IterableOnce[B]): Iterator[B]

Builds a new iterator by applying a function to all elements of this iterator and using the elements of the resulting collections.

For example:

def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of iterator. This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:

// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)

// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap ((word: String) => word.toSeq)

// xs will be an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)
B

the element type of the returned collection.

f

the function to apply to each element.

returns

a new iterator resulting from applying the given collection-valued function f to each element of this iterator and concatenating the results.

Definition Classes

def flatten[B](implicit ev: (A) => IterableOnce[B]): Iterator[B]

Converts this iterator of traversable collections into a iterator formed by the elements of these traversable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of iterator. For example:

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(1, 2, 3)
         ).flatten
// xs == List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

val ys = Set(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(3, 2, 1)
         ).flatten
// ys == Set(1, 2, 3)
B

the type of the elements of each traversable collection.

returns

a new iterator resulting from concatenating all element iterators.

def fold[A1 >: A](z: A1)(op: (A1, A1) => A1): A1

Folds the elements of this collection using the specified associative binary operator. The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

A1

a type parameter for the binary operator, a supertype of A.

z

op

a binary operator that must be associative.

returns

the result of applying the fold operator op between all the elements and z, or z if this collection is empty.

Definition Classes

def foldLeft[B](z: B)(op: (B, A) => B): B

z

op

the binary operator.

returns

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

def sliding[B >: A](size: Int, step: Int = 1): GroupedIterator[B]

Returns an iterator which presents a "sliding window" view of this iterator. The first argument is the window size, and the second argument step is how far to advance the window on each iteration. The step defaults to 1.

The default GroupedIterator can be configured to either pad a partial result to size size or suppress the partial result entirely.

Example usages:

// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3), List(2, 3, 4), List(3, 4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(3).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4), List(4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).withPartial(false).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4), List(4, 5, 20, 25))
// Illustrating that withPadding's argument is by-name.
val it2 = Iterator.iterate(20)(_ + 5)
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).withPadding(it2.next).toList
returns

An iterator producing Seq[B]s of size size, except the last element (which may be the only element) will be truncated if there are fewer than size elements remaining to be grouped. This behavior can be configured.

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

returns

a pair consisting of the longest prefix of this iterator whose elements all satisfy p, and the rest of this iterator.

def stepper[S <: Stepper[_]](implicit shape: StepperShape[A, S]): S

Returns a Stepper for the elements of this collection.

The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.

The implicit StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.

    For collections of Int, Short, Byte or Char, an IntStepper is returnedFor collections of Double or Float, a DoubleStepper is returnedFor collections of Long a LongStepper is returnedFor any other element type, an AnyStepper is returned

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example IndexedSeqOps.stepper. For Steppers marked with scala.collection.Stepper.EfficientSplit, the converters in scala.jdk.StreamConverters allow creating parallel streams, whereas bare Steppers can be converted only to sequential streams.
