    Package structure

    The scala package contains core types like Int, Float, Array or Option which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

    Notable packages include:

    Other 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.collection.parallel - Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)
    • scala.util.parsing - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)
    • scala.swing - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.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 for scala.collection.immutable.List.

    Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, String is an alias for java.lang.String.

Value Members

  1. def getClass(): Class[_ <: AnyVal]

    Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

    Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

    returns

    a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.

  2. def unlift: PartialFunction[A, B]

    Converts an optional function to a partial function.

    Converts an optional function to a partial function.

    Example:
    1. Unlike Function.unlift, this UnliftOps.unlift method can be used in extractors.

      val of: Int => Option[String] = { i =>
        if (i == 2) {
          Some("matched by an optional function")
        } else {
          None
        }
      }
      
      util.Random.nextInt(4) match {
        case of.unlift(m) => // Convert an optional function to a pattern
          println(m)
        case _ =>
          println("Not matched")
      }
