The empty map of the same type as this map

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.

Adds key/value pairs to this map, returning a new map.

This method takes two or more key/value pairs. Another overloaded variant of this method handles the case where a single key/value pair is added.

Adds a key/value pair to this map, returning a new map.

Adds all key/value pairs in a traversable collection to this map, returning a new map.

Returns a new traversable collection containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the traversable collection is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

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
z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

This overload exists because: for the implementation of ++: we should reuse that of ++ because many collections override it with more efficient versions.

Since TraversableOnce has no ++ method, we have to implement that directly, but Traversable and down can use the overload.

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
z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

Removes a key from this map, returning a new map.

Creates a new collection from this collection with some elements removed.

This method takes two or more elements to be removed. Another overloaded variant of this method handles the case where a single element is removed.

Creates a new collection from this collection by removing all elements of another collection.

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this traversable collection, 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 collection 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 map 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 map 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)

Appends all elements of this traversable collection to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this traversable collection 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 collection 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 collection, 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

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 })

Composes this partial function with a transformation function that gets applied to results of this partial function.

Retrieves the value which is associated with the given key. This method invokes the default method of the map if there is no mapping from the given key to a value. Unless overridden, the default method throws a NoSuchElementException.

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 the compiler generates an 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.

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.

Method called from equality methods, so that user-defined subclasses can refuse to be equal to other collections of the same kind.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Copies the elements of this map to an array. Fills the given array xs with at most len elements of this map, starting at position start. Copying will stop once either the end of the current map is reached, or the end of the target array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

Copies all elements of this traversable collection to a buffer.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Counts the number of elements in the traversable collection which satisfy a predicate.

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

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).

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

• It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Tests whether a predicate holds for at least one element of this traversable collection.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Selects all elements of this traversable collection which satisfy a predicate.

Filters this map by retaining only keys satisfying a predicate.

Note: the predicate must accept any key of type K, not just those already present in the map, as the predicate is tested before the underlying map is queried.

Selects all elements of this map which do not satisfy a predicate.

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.

Finds the first element of the traversable collection satisfying a predicate, if any.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this map 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 map. 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 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)

The order in which operations are performed on elements is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Optionally returns the value associated with a key.

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

Returns the value associated with a key, or a default value if the key is not contained in the map.

Partitions this traversable collection into a map of traversable collections according to some discriminator function.

Note: this method is not re-implemented by views. This means when applied to a view it will always force the view and return a new traversable collection.

Partitions elements in fixed size iterable collections.

Tests whether this traversable collection is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

Calculate a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

Tests whether this map contains a binding for a key. This method, which implements an abstract method of trait PartialFunction, is equivalent to contains.

Tests whether this map is empty.

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.

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Composes this partial function with a fallback partial function which gets applied where this partial function is not defined.

Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.

For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying all the elements. For these collection, par takes linear time. Mutable collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.

Specific collections (e.g. ParArray or mutable.ParHashMap) override this default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset. For these collections, par takes constant or sublinear time.

All parallel collections return a reference to themselves.

The default par implementation uses the combiner provided by this method to create a new parallel collection.

Partitions this traversable collection in two traversable collections according to a predicate.

The collection of type traversable collection underlying this TraversableLike object. By default this is implemented as the TraversableLike object itself, but this can be overridden.

Composes this partial function with an action function which gets applied to results of this partial function. The action function is invoked only for its side effects; its result is ignored.

Note that expression pf.runWith(action)(x) is equivalent to

if(pf isDefinedAt x) { action(pf(x)); true } else false

except that runWith is implemented via applyOrElse and thus potentially more efficient. Using runWith avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards for partial function literals.

Checks if the other iterable collection contains the same elements in the same order as this map.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Creates a non-strict view of this iterable collection.

Creates a non-strict filter of this traversable collection.

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.

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

Returns a map formed from this map 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.
