Gets 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.

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

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

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

Note that calling isDefinedAt on the resulting partial function may apply the first partial function and execute its side effect. For efficiency, it is recommended to call applyOrElse instead of isDefinedAt or apply.

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

If the runtime type of the function is a PartialFunction then the other andThen method is used (note its cautions).

A copy of this 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 sequence containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the sequence is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

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.

Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type T0, even though doing so may violate type safety.

This method is useful when you believe you have type information the compiler doesn't, and it also isn't possible to check the type at runtime. In such situations, skipping type safety is the only option.

It is platform dependent whether asInstanceOf has any effect at runtime. It might do a runtime type test on the erasure of T0, insert a conversion (such as boxing/unboxing), fill in a default value, or do nothing at all.

In particular, asInstanceOf is not a type test. It does **not** mean:

this match {
 case x: T0 => x
 case _     => throw ClassCastException("...")

Use pattern matching or isInstanceOf for type testing instead.

Situations where asInstanceOf is useful:

• when flow analysis fails to deduce T0 automatically
• when down-casting a type parameter or an abstract type member (which cannot be checked at runtime due to type erasure) If there is any doubt and you are able to type test instead, you should do so.

Be careful of using asInstanceOf when T0 is a primitive type. When T0 is primitive, asInstanceOf may insert a conversion instead of a type test. If your intent is to convert, use a toT method (x.toChar, x.toByte, etc.).

Checks whether this instance can possibly equal that.

A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.

Defines the prefix of this object's toString representation.

It is recommended to return the name of the concrete collection type, but not implementation subclasses. For example, for ListMap this method should return "ListMap", not "Map" (the supertype) or "Node" (an implementation subclass).

The default implementation returns "Iterable". It is overridden for the basic collection kinds "Seq", "IndexedSeq", "LinearSeq", "Buffer", "Set", "Map", "SortedSet", "SortedMap" and "View".

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

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

Finds the first element of the 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.

Composes another partial function k with this partial function so that this partial function gets applied to results of k.

Note that calling isDefinedAt on the resulting partial function may apply the first partial function and execute its side effect. For efficiency, it is recommended to call applyOrElse instead of isDefinedAt or apply.

Composes two instances of Function1 in a new Function1, with this function applied last.

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

Tests whether this sequence contains a given value as an element.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Tests whether this sequence contains a given sequence as a slice.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Tests whether every element of this sequence relates to the corresponding element of another sequence by satisfying a test predicate.

Tests whether every element of this collection's iterator relates to the corresponding element of another collection by satisfying a test predicate.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Counts the number of elements in the sequence which satisfy a predicate.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Computes the multiset difference between this sequence and another sequence.

Selects all the elements of this sequence ignoring the duplicates.

Selects all the elements of this sequence ignoring the duplicates as determined by == after applying the transforming function f.

Selects all elements except the first n ones.

Selects all elements except last n ones.

Selects all elements except the longest prefix that satisfies a predicate.

The matching prefix starts with the first element of this sequence, and the element following the prefix is the first element that does not satisfy the predicate. The matching prefix may be empty, so that this method returns the entire sequence.

Example:

scala> List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4).dropWhile(n => n < 10)
val res0: List[Int] = List(100, 4)

scala> List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4).dropWhile(n => n == 0)
val res1: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4)

Use span to obtain both the prefix and suffix. Use filterNot to drop all elements that satisfy the predicate.

Returns an extractor object with a unapplySeq method, which extracts each element of a sequence data.

The empty iterable of the same type as this iterable.

Tests whether this 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).

Checks whether this instance is equal to that. This universal equality method is defined in AnyRef.

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

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Selects all elements of this sequence which satisfy a predicate.

Selects all elements of this sequence 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 sequence satisfying a predicate, if any.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Builds a new sequence by applying a function to all elements of this 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 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 sequence of iterable collections into a sequence formed by the elements of these iterable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of 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)

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this sequence.

For each application of the operator, each operand is either an element of this sequence, the initial value, or another such application of the operator.

The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation. The initial value may be used an arbitrary number of times, but at least once.

If this collection is ordered, then for any application of the operator, the element(s) appearing in the left operand will precede those in the right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative. In either case, it is also necessary that the initial value be a neutral value for the operator, e.g. Nil for List concatenation or 1 for multiplication.

The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this sequence, going left to right. Returns the initial value if this sequence is empty.

"Going left to right" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this sequence, the result is op( op( ... op( op(z, x1), x2) ... ), xn).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each right operand is an element. In addition, the leftmost operand is the initial value, and each other left operand is itself an application of the operator. The elements of this sequence and the initial value all appear exactly once in the computation.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this sequence and the given initial value z, going right to left. Returns the initial value if this sequence is empty.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this sequence, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn, z) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the initial value, and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator. The elements of this sequence and the initial value all appear exactly once in the computation.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

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.

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

Partitions this sequence into a map of 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 sequence into a map of 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 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.

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 sequence. The first value will be this sequence and the final one will be an empty sequence, 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.

Computes the multiset intersection between this sequence and another sequence.

Tests whether this sequence contains given index.

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

Tests whether the sequence is empty.

Note: The default implementation creates and discards an iterator.

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 sequence can be repeatedly traversed. Always true for Iterables and false for Iterators unless overridden.

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

An scala.collection.Iterator over the elements of this sequence.

If an IterableOnce object is in fact an scala.collection.Iterator, this method always returns itself, in its current state, but if it is an scala.collection.Iterable, this method always returns a new scala.collection.Iterator.

The number of elements in this sequence, if it can be cheaply computed, -1 otherwise. Cheaply usually means: Not requiring a collection traversal.

Selects the last element.

Finds index of last occurrence of some value in this sequence before or at a given end index.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Optionally selects the last element.

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)

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

Compares the length of this sequence to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the length of this 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

Turns this partial function into a plain function returning an Option result.

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

Tests whether the sequence 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.

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

A copy of this 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.

The two sequence correspond to the result of filter and filterNot, respectively.

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

Produces a new sequence where a slice of elements in this 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 sequence appends the patch to the end. If the replaced count would exceed the available elements, the difference in 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 sequence with an element prepended.

Also, the original 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.

Multiplies together the elements of this collection.

The default implementation uses reduce for a known non-empty collection, foldLeft otherwise.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this sequence.

For each application of the operator, each operand is either an element of this sequence or another such application of the operator. The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

If this collection is ordered, then for any application of the operator, the element(s) appearing in the left operand will precede those in the right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this sequence, going left to right.

"Going left to right" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this sequence, the result is op( op( op( ... op(x1, x2) ... ), xn-1), xn).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each right operand is an element. In addition, the leftmost operand is the first element of this sequence and each other left operand is itself an application of the operator. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

If this sequence is nonempty, reduces it with the given binary operator op, going left to right.

The behavior is the same as reduceLeft except that the value is None if the sequence is empty. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

If this sequence is nonempty, reduces it with the given binary operator op.

The behavior is the same as reduce except that the value is None if the sequence is empty. The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this sequence, going right to left.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this sequence, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn-1, xn) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the last element of this sequence and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

If this sequence is nonempty, reduces it with the given binary operator op, going right to left.

The behavior is the same as reduceRight except that the value is None if the sequence is empty. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Returns a new sequence with the elements of this sequence in reverse order.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

An iterator yielding the elements of this sequence in reverse order.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: xs.reverseIterator is the same as xs.reverse.iterator but might be more efficient.

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.

Tests whether the elements of this collection are the same (and in the same order) as those of that.

Computes a prefix scan of the elements of the collection.

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

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Produces a collection containing cumulative results of applying the operator going right to left. The head of the collection is the last cumulative result.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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)

Searches within an interval in this sorted sequence for a specific element. If this sequence is an IndexedSeq, a binary search is used. Otherwise, a linear search is used.

The sequence should be sorted with the same Ordering before calling; otherwise, the results are undefined.

Computes the length of the longest segment that starts from some index and whose elements all satisfy some predicate.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Computes the length of the longest segment that starts from the first element and whose elements all satisfy some predicate.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

The size of this sequence.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Compares the size of this sequence to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this 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 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 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: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

The sort is stable. That is, elements that are equal (as determined by ord.compare) appear in the same order in the sorted sequence as in the original.

Sorts this sequence according to a comparison function.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

The sort is stable. That is, elements that are equal (lt returns false for both directions of comparison) appear in the same order in the sorted sequence as in the original.

Sorts this sequence according to an Ordering.

The sort is stable. That is, elements that are equal (as determined by ord.compare) appear in the same order in the sorted sequence as in the original.

Splits this sequence 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.

Splits this sequence 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).
