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.

def
asInstanceOf[T0]: T0
Cast the receiver object to be of type
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 aClassCastExceptionat runtime, while the expressionList(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

def
eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean
Tests whether the argument (
that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).Tests whether the argument (
that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).The
eqmethod implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances ofAnyRef, and has three additional properties:- It is consistent: for any non-null instances
xandyof typeAnyRef, multiple invocations ofx.eq(y)consistently returnstrueor consistently returnsfalse. - For any non-null instance
xof typeAnyRef,x.eq(null)andnull.eq(x)returnsfalse. null.eq(null)returnstrue.
When overriding the
equalsorhashCodemethods, 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
trueif the argument is a reference to the receiver object;falseotherwise.

Package structure
The scala package contains core types like
Int,Float,ArrayorOptionwhich are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.Notable packages include:
scala.collectionand its sub-packages contain Scala's collections frameworkscala.collection.immutable- Immutable, sequential data-structures such asVector,List,Range,HashMaporHashSetscala.collection.mutable- Mutable, sequential data-structures such asArrayBuffer,StringBuilder,HashMaporHashSetscala.collection.concurrent- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such asTrieMapscala.collection.parallel.immutable- Immutable, parallel data-structures such asParVector,ParRange,ParHashMaporParHashSetscala.collection.parallel.mutable- Mutable, parallel data-structures such asParArray,ParHashMap,ParTrieMaporParHashSetscala.concurrent- Primitives for concurrent programming such asFuturesandPromisesscala.io- Input and output operationsscala.math- Basic math functions and additional numeric types likeBigIntandBigDecimalscala.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.Predefobject are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
Listis an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
Stringis an alias forjava.lang.String.
