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.

Alias for concat

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

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

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.

Builds a new view by applying a partial function to all elements of this view on which the function is defined.

Finds the first element of the view for which the given partial function is defined, and applies the partial function to it.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

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

Copy elements to an array, returning the number of elements written.

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with at most len elements of this view.

Copying will stop once either all the elements of this view have been copied, or the end of the array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

Copy elements to an array, returning the number of elements written.

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with values of this view.

Copying will stop once either all the elements of this view have been copied, or the end of the array is reached.

Drops longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

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

The empty iterable of the same type as this iterable

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.

Selects all elements of this view 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 view 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.

Converts this view of traversable collections into a view formed by the elements of these traversable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of view. For example:

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(1, 2, 3)
         ).flatten
// xs == List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

val ys = Set(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(3, 2, 1)
         ).flatten
// ys == Set(1, 2, 3)

Folds the elements of this view using the specified associative binary operator. The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this view, going left to right.

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 view and a start value, going right to left.

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.

Returns string formatted according to given format string. Format strings are as for String.format (@see java.lang.String.format).

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

Partitions this view into a map of views according to some discriminator function.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Partitions this view into a map of views according to a discriminator function key. Each element in a group is transformed into a value of type B using the value function.

It is equivalent to groupBy(key).mapValues(_.map(f)), but more efficient.

case class User(name: String, age: Int)

def namesByAge(users: Seq[User]): Map[Int, Seq[String]] =
  users.groupMap(_.age)(_.name)

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Partitions this view into a map according to a discriminator function key. All the values that have the same discriminator are then transformed by the value function and then reduced into a single value with the reduce function.

It is equivalent to groupBy(key).mapValues(_.map(f).reduce(reduce)), but more efficient.

def occurrences[A](as: Seq[A]): Map[A, Int] =
  as.groupMapReduce(identity)(_ => 1)(_ + _)

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Partitions elements in fixed size views.

The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.

Selects the first element of this view.

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

Optionally selects the first element.

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

The initial part of the collection without its last element.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Iterates over the inits of this view. The first value will be this view and the final one will be an empty view, with the intervening values the results of successive applications of init.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Tests whether the view is empty.

Note: Implementations in subclasses that are not repeatedly traversable must take care not to consume any elements when isEmpty is called.

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.

Tests whether this view can be repeatedly traversed. Always true for Iterables and false for Iterators unless overridden.

The companion object of this view, providing various factory methods.

Iterator can be used only once

Selects the last element.

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

Optionally selects the last element.

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

Tests whether the view is not empty.

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

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

A pair of, first, all elements that satisfy predicate p and, second, all elements that do not. Interesting because it splits a collection in two.

The default implementation provided here needs to traverse the collection twice. Strict collections have an overridden version of partition in StrictOptimizedIterableOps, which requires only a single traversal.

Applies a function f to each element of the view and returns a pair of views: the first one made of those values returned by f that were wrapped in scala.util.Left, and the second one made of those wrapped in scala.util.Right.

Example:

val xs = `View`(1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three") partitionMap {
 case i: Int => Left(i)
 case s: String => Right(s)
}
// xs == (`View`(1, 2, 3),
//        `View`(one, two, three))

Multiplies up the elements of this collection.

Reduces the elements of this view using the specified associative binary operator.

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

Computes a prefix scan of the elements of the collection.

Note: The neutral element z may be applied more than once.

Produces a view containing cumulative results of applying the operator going left to right, including the initial value.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Example:

List(1, 2, 3, 4).scanRight(0)(_ + _) == List(10, 9, 7, 4, 0)

The size of this view.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Compares the size of this view to the size of another Iterable.

Compares the size of this view to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this view to a test value.

These operations are implemented in terms of sizeCompare(Int), and allow the following more readable usages:

this.sizeIs < size     // this.sizeCompare(size) < 0
this.sizeIs <= size    // this.sizeCompare(size) <= 0
this.sizeIs == size    // this.sizeCompare(size) == 0
this.sizeIs != size    // this.sizeCompare(size) != 0
this.sizeIs >= size    // this.sizeCompare(size) >= 0
this.sizeIs > size     // this.sizeCompare(size) > 0

Selects an interval of elements. The returned view is made up of all elements x which satisfy the invariant:

from <= indexOf(x) < until

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

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

The returned iterator will be empty when called on an empty collection. The last element the iterator produces may be smaller than the window size when the original collection isn't exhausted by the window before it and its last element isn't skipped by the step before it.

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

An empty collection returns an empty iterator, and a non-empty collection containing fewer elements than the window size returns an iterator that will produce the original collection as its only element.

Splits this view into a prefix/suffix pair according to a predicate.

Note: c span p is equivalent to (but possibly more efficient than) (c takeWhile p, c dropWhile p), provided the evaluation of the predicate p does not cause any side-effects.

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

Splits this view into a prefix/suffix pair at a given position.

Note: c splitAt n is equivalent to (but possibly more efficient than) (c take n, c drop n).

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

Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.

The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.

The implicit scala.collection.StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.

• For collections of Int, Short, Byte or Char, an scala.collection.IntStepper is returned
• For collections of Double or Float, a scala.collection.DoubleStepper is returned
• For collections of Long a scala.collection.LongStepper is returned
• For any other element type, an scala.collection.AnyStepper is returned

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper. For Steppers marked with scala.collection.Stepper.EfficientSplit, the converters in scala.jdk.StreamConverters allow creating parallel streams, whereas bare Steppers can be converted only to sequential streams.

Sums up the elements of this collection.

The rest of the collection without its first element.

Iterates over the tails of this view. The first value will be this view and the final one will be an empty view, with the intervening values the results of successive applications of tail.

Selects the first n elements.

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

Selects the last n elements.

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

Takes longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

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

Applies a side-effecting function to each element in this collection. Strict collections will apply f to their elements immediately, while lazy collections like Views and LazyLists will only apply f on each element if and when that element is evaluated, and each time that element is evaluated.

Given a collection factory factory, convert this collection to the appropriate representation for the current element type A. Example uses:

xs.to(List) xs.to(ArrayBuffer) xs.to(BitSet) // for xs: Iterable[Int]

Convert collection to array.

Implementation note: DO NOT call Array.from from this method.

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

Transposes this view of iterable collections into a view of views.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the static type of view. For example:

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(4, 5, 6)).transpose
// xs == List(
//         List(1, 4),
//         List(2, 5),
//         List(3, 6))

val ys = Vector(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(4, 5, 6)).transpose
// ys == Vector(
//         Vector(1, 4),
//         Vector(2, 5),
//         Vector(3, 6))

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Converts this view of pairs into two collections of the first and second half of each pair.

val xs = `View`(
           (1, "one"),
           (2, "two"),
           (3, "three")).unzip
// xs == (`View`(1, 2, 3),
//        `View`(one, two, three))

Converts this view of triples into three collections of the first, second, and third element of each triple.

val xs = `View`(
           (1, "one", '1'),
           (2, "two", '2'),
           (3, "three", '3')).unzip3
// xs == (`View`(1, 2, 3),
//        `View`(one, two, three),
//        `View`(1, 2, 3))

A view over the elements of this collection.

Creates a non-strict filter of this view.

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 view formed from this view 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.

Returns a view formed from this view and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

Zips this view with its indices.

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

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Selects all elements of this view which satisfy a predicate.

Builds a new view by applying a function to all elements of this view 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 view. 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: String) => 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)

Tests whether a predicate holds for all elements of this view.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Apply f to each element for its side effects Note: [U] parameter needed to help scalac's type inference.

Analogous to zip except that the elements in each collection are not consumed until a strict operation is invoked on the returned LazyZip2 decorator.

Calls to lazyZip can be chained to support higher arities (up to 4) without incurring the expense of constructing and deconstructing intermediary tuples.

val xs = List(1, 2, 3)
val res = (xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs).map((a, b, c, d) => a + b + c + d)
// res == List(4, 8, 12)

Builds a new view by applying a function to all elements of this view.

Converts this view to a string.

Tests whether this view 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.

Converts this view to an unspecified Iterable. Will return the same collection if this instance is already Iterable.
