trait Iterator[+A] extends TraversableOnce[A]
Iterators are data structures that allow to iterate over a sequence
of elements. They have a hasNext
method for checking
if there is a next element available, and a next
method
which returns the next element and advances the iterator.
An iterator is mutable: most operations on it change its state. While it is often used to iterate through the elements of a collection, it can also be used without being backed by any collection (see constructors on the companion object).
It is of particular importance to note that, unless stated otherwise, one should never
use an iterator after calling a method on it. The two most important exceptions
are also the sole abstract methods: next
and hasNext
.
Both these methods can be called any number of times without having to discard the
iterator. Note that even hasNext
may cause mutation -- such as when iterating
from an input stream, where it will block until the stream is closed or some
input becomes available.
Consider this example for safe and unsafe use:
def f[A](it: Iterator[A]) = { if (it.hasNext) { // Safe to reuse "it" after "hasNext" it.next // Safe to reuse "it" after "next" val remainder = it.drop(2) // it is *not* safe to use "it" again after this line! remainder.take(2) // it is *not* safe to use "remainder" after this line! } else it }

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
andreduce
. It is similar tofoldLeft
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 applyingseqop
, starting withz
(likefoldLeft
). Those intermediate results are then combined by usingcombop
(likefold
). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), socombop
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 or0
for summation) and may be evaluated more than once- seqop
an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

def
toMap[T, U]: Map[T, U]
[use case] Converts this traversable or iterator to a map.
[use case]Converts this traversable or iterator to a map. This method is unavailable unless the elements are members of Tuple2, each ((T, U)) becoming a key-value pair in the map. Duplicate keys will be overwritten by later keys: if this is an unordered collection, which key is in the resulting map is undefined.
Note: will not terminate for infinite iterators.
- returns
a map of type
immutable.Map[T, U]
containing all key/value pairs of type(T, U)

toSeq: Seq[A]
Converts this traversable or iterator to a sequence.
Converts this traversable or iterator to a sequence. As with

def
withFilter(p: (A) ⇒ Boolean): Iterator[A]
Creates an iterator over all the elements of this iterator that satisfy the predicate
p
.Creates an iterator over all the elements of this iterator that satisfy the predicate
p
. The order of the elements is preserved.Note:
withFilter
is the same asfilter
on iterators. It exists so that for-expressions with filters work over iterators.- p
the predicate used to test values.
- returns
an iterator which produces those values of this iterator which satisfy the predicate
p
.
- Note
Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

def
zip[B](that: Iterator[B]): Iterator[(A, B)]
Creates an iterator formed from this iterator and another iterator by combining corresponding values in pairs.
Creates an iterator formed from this iterator and another iterator by combining corresponding values in pairs. If one of the two iterators is longer than the other, its remaining elements are ignored.
- that
The iterator providing the second half of each result pair
- returns
a new iterator containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this iterator and
that
. The number of elements returned by the new iterator is the minimum of the number of elements returned by this iterator andthat

- Note
Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, as well as the one passed as a parameter, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterators is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

a new iterator containing pairs consisting of corresponding values of this iterator and

Package structure
The scala package contains core types like
Int
,Float
,Array
orOption
which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.Notable packages include:
scala.collection
and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections frameworkscala.collection.immutable
- Immutable, sequential data-structures such asVector
,List
,Range
,HashMap
orHashSet
scala.collection.mutable
- Mutable, sequential data-structures such asArrayBuffer
,StringBuilder
,HashMap
orHashSet
scala.collection.concurrent
- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such asTrieMap
scala.collection.parallel.immutable
- Immutable, parallel data-structures such asParVector
,ParRange
,ParHashMap
orParHashSet
scala.collection.parallel.mutable
- Mutable, parallel data-structures such asParArray
,ParHashMap
,ParTrieMap
orParHashSet
scala.concurrent
- Primitives for concurrent programming such asFutures
andPromises
scala.io
- Input and output operationsscala.math
- Basic math functions and additional numeric types likeBigInt
andBigDecimal
scala.sys
- Interaction with other processes and the operating systemscala.util.matching
- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect
- Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)scala.xml
- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)scala.swing
- A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)scala.util.parsing
- Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)Automatic imports
Identifiers in the scala package and the
scala.Predef
object are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
List
is an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List
.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
String
is an alias forjava.lang.String
.
