the actual iterator

Test two objects for inequality.

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.

Concatenates this iterator with another.

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this traversable 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.

Applies a binary operator to all elements of this traversable 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

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

Appends all elements of this traversable or iterator to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this traversable or iterator without any separator string.

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

Appends all elements of this traversable or iterator to a string builder using a separator string. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this traversable or iterator, separated by the string sep.

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> a.addString(b, ", ")
res0: StringBuilder = 1, 2, 3, 4

Appends all elements of this traversable or iterator to a string builder using start, end, and separator strings. The written text begins with the string start and ends with the string end. Inside, the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this traversable or iterator are separated by the string sep.

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> a.addString(b , "List(" , ", " , ")")
res5: StringBuilder = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

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 traversable 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 })

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.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

The close() method closes the underlying resource.

Note: may not terminate for infinite iterators.

Copies selected values produced by this iterator to an array. Fills the given array xs starting at index start with at most len values produced by this iterator. Copying will stop once either the end of the current iterator is reached, or the end of the array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

Note: will not terminate for infinite iterators.

Copies the elements of this traversable or iterator to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this traversable or iterator. Copying will stop once either the end of the current traversable or iterator is reached, or the end of the target array is reached.

Note: will not terminate for infinite iterators.

Skips longest sequence of elements of this iterator which satisfy given predicate p, and returns an iterator of the remaining elements.

Creates two new iterators that both iterate over the same elements as this iterator (in the same order). The duplicate iterators are considered equal if they are positioned at the same element.

Given that most methods on iterators will make the original iterator unfit for further use, this methods provides a reliable way of calling multiple such methods on an iterator.

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).

The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq.

See also equals in scala.Any.
