As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.
It differs from ++ in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.
Example:
```
scala> val x = List(1)
x: List[Int] = List(1)

scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

scala> val z = x ++: y

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

Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.
Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.
This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It has similar semantics, but does not require the result to be a supertype of the element type. It traverses the elements in different partitions sequentially, using seqop to update the result, and then applies combop to results from different partitions. The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions, so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times.
For example, one might want to process some elements and then produce a Set. In this case, seqop would process an element and append it to the list, while combop would concatenate two lists from different partitions together. The initial value z would be an empty set.
```
pc.aggregate(Set[Int]())(_ += process(_), _ ++ _)
```
Another example is calculating geometric mean from a collection of doubles (one would typically require big doubles for this).
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)
seqop
an operator used to accumulate results within a partition
combop
an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

def applyOrElse[A1 <: Int, B1 >: A](x: A1, default: (A1) ⇒ B1): B1

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain.
Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.
Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to
```
if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)
```
except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals compiler generates applyOrElse implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:
- combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation
- lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation
- runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions
For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
Tests whether the argument (arg0) 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).

[use case] Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this sequence and using the elements of the resulting collections.
[use case]
Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this sequence 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 sequence. 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 => word.toSeq)

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

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]

def withFilter(p: (A) ⇒ Boolean): FilterMonadic[A, Seq[A]]

Creates a non-strict filter of this sequence.
Creates a non-strict filter of this sequence.
Note: the difference between c filter p and c withFilter p is that the former creates a new collection, whereas the latter only restricts the domain of subsequent map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations.
p
the predicate used to test elements.
returns
an object of class WithFilter, which supports map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations. All these operations apply to those elements of this sequence which satisfy the predicate p.

def zip[B](that: GenIterable[B]): Seq[(A, B)]

[use case] Returns a sequence formed from this sequence and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.
[use case]
Returns a sequence formed from this sequence and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is longer than the other, its remaining elements are ignored.
B
the type of the second half of the returned pairs
that
The iterable providing the second half of each result pair
returns
a new sequence containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this sequence and that. The length of the returned collection is the minimum of the lengths of this sequence and that.

[use case] Returns a sequence formed from this sequence and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.
[use case]
Returns a sequence formed from this sequence and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.
B
the type of the second half of the returned pairs
that
The iterable providing the second half of each result pair
thisElem
the element to be used to fill up the result if this sequence is shorter than that.
thatElem
the element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this sequence.
returns
a new sequence containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this sequence and that. The length of the returned collection is the maximum of the lengths of this sequence and that. If this sequence is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to pad the result. If that is shorter than this sequence, thatElem values are used to pad the result.
