Get the element at the specified index. This operation is provided for convenience in Seq. It should not be assumed to be efficient unless you have an IndexedSeq.

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

This process can be done in a strict way or a non-strict way (ie. without evaluating the elements of the resulting collections). In other words, this methods defines the evaluation model of the collection.

The companion object of this mutable sequence, providing various factory methods.

The length (number of elements) of the mutable sequence. size is an alias for length in Seq collections.

Replaces element at given index with a new value.

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

Alias for prependedAll

Alias for prepended.

Note that :-ending operators are right associative (see example). A mnemonic for +: vs. :+ is: the COLon goes on the COLlection side.

Alias for appended

Note that :-ending operators are right associative (see example). A mnemonic for +: vs. :+ is: the COLon goes on the COLlection side.

Alias for appendedAll

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

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

A copy of this mutable sequence with an element appended.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Example:

scala> val a = List(1)
a: List[Int] = List(1)

scala> val b = a :+ 2
b: List[Int] = List(1, 2)

scala> println(a)
List(1)

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

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 mutable sequence by applying a partial function to all elements of this mutable sequence on which the function is defined.

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

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Iterates over combinations of elements.

A combination of length n is a sequence of n elements selected in order of their first index in this sequence.

For example, "xyx" has two combinations of length 2. The x is selected first: "xx", "xy". The sequence "yx" is not returned as a combination because it is subsumed by "xy".

If there is more than one way to generate the same combination, only one will be returned.

For example, the result "xy" arbitrarily selected one of the x elements.

As a further illustration, "xyxx" has three different ways to generate "xy" because there are three elements x to choose from. Moreover, there are three unordered pairs "xx" but only one is returned.

It is not specified which of these equal combinations is returned. It is an implementation detail that should not be relied on. For example, the combination "xx" does not necessarily contain the first x in this sequence. This behavior is observable if the elements compare equal but are not identical.

As a consequence, "xyx".combinations(3).next() is "xxy": the combination does not reflect the order of the original sequence, but the order in which elements were selected, by "first index"; the order of each x element is also arbitrary.

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

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

The empty iterable of the same type as this iterable

Tests whether this mutable sequence ends with the given sequence.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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.

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

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Finds the first element of the mutable sequence satisfying a predicate, if any.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Finds the last element of the mutable sequence satisfying a predicate, if any.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Builds a new mutable sequence by applying a function to all elements of this mutable sequence 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 mutable sequence. 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)

Converts this mutable sequence of iterable collections into a mutable sequence formed by the elements of these iterable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of mutable sequence. 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 mutable sequence 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 mutable sequence, going left to right.

Partitions this mutable sequence into a map of mutable sequences according to some discriminator function.

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

Partitions this mutable sequence into a map of mutable sequences 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 mutable sequence into a map according to a discriminator function key. All the values that have the same discriminator are then transformed by the f 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.

Tests whether this mutable sequence contains given index.

The implementations of methods apply and isDefinedAt turn a Seq[A] into a PartialFunction[Int, A].

Tests whether the mutable sequence is empty.

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

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as T0.

Depending on what T0 is, the test is done in one of the below ways:

• T0 is a non-parameterized class type, e.g. BigDecimal: this method returns true if the value of the receiver object is a BigDecimal or a subtype of BigDecimal.
• T0 is a parameterized class type, e.g. List[Int]: this method returns true if the value of the receiver object is some List[X] for any X. For example, List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true.
• T0 is some singleton type x.type or literal x: this method returns this.eq(x). For example, x.isInstanceOf[1] is equivalent to x.eq(1)
• T0 is an intersection X with Y or X & Y: this method is equivalent to x.isInstanceOf[X] && x.isInstanceOf[Y]
• T0 is a union X | Y: this method is equivalent to x.isInstanceOf[X] || x.isInstanceOf[Y]
• T0 is a type parameter or an abstract type member: this method is equivalent to isInstanceOf[U] where U is T0's upper bound, Any if T0 is unbounded. For example, x.isInstanceOf[A] where A is an unbounded type parameter will return true for any value of x.

This is exactly equivalent to the type pattern _: T0

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

Compares the length of this mutable sequence to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the length of this mutable sequence to a test value.

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

this.lengthIs < len     // this.lengthCompare(len) < 0
this.lengthIs <= len    // this.lengthCompare(len) <= 0
this.lengthIs == len    // this.lengthCompare(len) == 0
this.lengthIs != len    // this.lengthCompare(len) != 0
this.lengthIs >= len    // this.lengthCompare(len) >= 0
this.lengthIs > len     // this.lengthCompare(len) > 0

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

A copy of this mutable sequence with an element value appended until a given target length is reached.

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 mutable sequence and returns a pair of mutable sequences: 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 = `mutable.Seq`(1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three") partitionMap {
 case i: Int => Left(i)
 case s: String => Right(s)
}
// xs == (`mutable.Seq`(1, 2, 3),
//        `mutable.Seq`(one, two, three))

Produces a new mutable sequence where a slice of elements in this mutable sequence is replaced by another sequence.

Patching at negative indices is the same as patching starting at 0. Patching at indices at or larger than the length of the original mutable sequence appends the patch to the end. If more values are replaced than actually exist, the excess is ignored.

Iterates over distinct permutations of elements.

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

A copy of the mutable sequence with an element prepended.

Also, the original mutable sequence is not modified, so you will want to capture the result.

Example:

scala> val x = List(1)
x: List[Int] = List(1)

scala> val y = 2 +: x
y: List[Int] = List(2, 1)

scala> println(x)
List(1)

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.

Compares the size of this mutable sequence to the size of another Iterable.

Compares the size of this mutable sequence to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this mutable sequence 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 mutable sequence is made up of all elements x which satisfy the invariant:

from <= indexOf(x) < until

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.

Sorts this mutable sequence according to the Ordering which results from transforming an implicitly given Ordering with a transformation function.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Tests whether this mutable sequence contains the given sequence at a given index.

Note: If the both the receiver object this and the argument that are infinite sequences this method may not terminate.

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.

Selects the first n elements.

Selects the last n elements.

Takes longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

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 mutable sequence of iterable collections into a mutable sequence of mutable sequences.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the static type of mutable sequence. 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 mutable sequence of pairs into two collections of the first and second half of each pair.

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